Well then, demon slayers, eavesdrop on this — Blizzard just dropped some pretty hot knowledge on Diablo IV, as it’s probably going to put Hell to shame in the long run. This new Belial’s Return update will drop on April 29, and it’s packing some SERIOUS heat. We’re seriously talking 24 boss powers and 48 combos, along some kind of chaos that will make your inner edgelord squeal with joy.
First up, though, let’s talk about the big three powers they hinted at: Lilith’s Wave Blast? Yup, it’s exactly what it sounds like-a pure rage-fueled screen-clearing, demon-exterminating blast, Belial’s Eye Beam? Picture a laser of doom fresh outta a kaiju flick, but you pretty much have your finger on the trigger. And finally, there’s Duriel’s Burrow? You’ll basically just dig underground like some sort of nightmare mole and pop up behind enemies like “surprise, jerkfaces.”
But wait-those are only the teasers, as there are 21 MORE powers waiting to be unleashed for you to be able to mix and match into a total of 48 different combos. That isn’t just variety; that’s pure pandemonium. Wanna blast waves AND shoot eye beams? Get ready at the ceiling. Prefer burrowing underground while summoning skeletons? Go ahead, mate. The customization is crazy, and it’s going to change how players approach builds in real value.
And oh, does that matter, as lately the Diablo IV endgame has needed a refresher, and exactly this is what Belial’s Return is meant to be about: Let’s get players looking for new ways to just crush everything before them while not repeating the same old rips of the dungeons again and again. Now don’t get much exercise in waving away with your hands, but who wouldn’t want that feeling of being an unstoppable force of nature with loots, right?
Excellent too-timed. Players have to wait just near April 29 for that. And with Season 4 breathing down (okay, no official date yet, but c’mon, it’s gotta be soon), this patch may very well be the perfect bridge to support that hype train.
Mark your calendars, sharpen your swords, and maybe say a little prayer for the demons-because they are about to get wrecked in ways they never saw coming. Belial’s Return for Diablo IV is shaping up to be one of the most chaotic updates yet, and honestly? We’re here for it.
