Blizzard has today announced during the Gamescom 2013 interactive games and entertainment event which is currently in full swing, that a new Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls expansion is currently under development and will be arriving soon for Diablo 3 fans to enjoy.
The new Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls expansion brings with it a new playable, mid-range melee class called The Crusader together with a higher level cap of 70.
New Features and Enhancements
Other features of the new Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls include updates to the endgame, itemisation, and the paragon system. The expansion aims to address some of the feedback from the community regarding the original game, particularly in terms of loot drops and character progression. The new Loot 2.0 system is designed to make item drops more meaningful and rewarding, ensuring that players find gear that is more suited to their characters.
The paragon system has also been revamped to provide more flexibility and customization options. Players can now earn paragon points that can be allocated to different stats, allowing for a more personalized approach to character development. This change is expected to add a new layer of depth to the game, making it more engaging for both new and veteran players.
The Final Boss: Malthael
The final boss in the new expansion will be Malthael, the angel of death. Malthael’s return to Sanctuary brings a dark and ominous tone to the game, as he seeks to harness the power of the Black Soulstone for his own nefarious purposes. Players will need to navigate through new environments and face challenging enemies to ultimately confront Malthael in an epic showdown.
Check out the teaser trailer also launched today and a gameplay clip for the latest Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls expansion embedded below:
“The next chapter in Sanctuary’s epic saga has been unveiled. Originally debuted at gamescom 2013 on August 21 in Cologne, Germany, this is the opening cinematic for Diablo III’s first expansion set, Reaper of Souls. For all the latest news and information regarding this major update to the critically acclaimed Diablo franchise”
In addition to the new class and gameplay enhancements, Reaper of Souls introduces new environments for players to explore. The expansion features the city of Westmarch, a gothic metropolis that has been overrun by Malthael’s forces. Players will also venture into the Blood Marsh, a treacherous swamp filled with deadly creatures and hidden dangers. These new locations are designed to provide a fresh and immersive experience, with detailed visuals and atmospheric sound design that bring the world of Sanctuary to life.
Another significant addition is the Adventure Mode, which allows players to explore the game world more freely. In Adventure Mode, players can undertake bounties and complete randomized dungeons called Nephalem Rifts. This mode is intended to provide a more dynamic and replayable experience, encouraging players to continue exploring and battling even after completing the main storyline.
