Multiple ways to play
Staying true to the franchise, Diablo 4 will feature Hardcore Mode, which forces a player to restart if they die once. The mode is popular with Twitch and YouTube streamers. The game will also feature PvP, an optional mode done in a dedicated zone, called the Fields of Hatred. Elements of Diablo 4, like no loading screens and the addition of mounts, will make the game attractive for speedrunning, which is also a top draw on Twitch and YouTube.
