Blizzard also confirmed that the game would be launching for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PS5 and will feature <strong>cross-progression for all the relevant platforms<\/strong>. The highly-anticipated new title was showcased at the 2022 Summer Games Fest where fans had the opportunity to get face-to-face with the Necromancer Class. This class is far from new to the Diablo franchise; in fact, these greatly misunderstood Priests of Rathma have been canon since the second installment of the Diablo series.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Diablo IV - Necromancer Cinematic Trailer - Xbox &amp; Bethesda Games Showcase 2022\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PwxIR4Qx6Fo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Necromancers, as the <strong>Priests of Rathma<\/strong> are known to outsiders, will go head to head with skeletons, reapers, mages, defenders, and skirmishers and carry the unique ability to call up blood, bone, and iron golems when necessary. The Necromancer class is the fifth and likely final character class to join the upcoming title, taking their place alongside the previously confirmed Sorceress, Barbarian, Druid, and Rogue classes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyone new to the Diablo dungeon crawling experience may regard the Necromancer class with a little apprehension, but these pale magic users are far more than the terrifying imagery that the mere mention of their name conjures up. The Priests of Rathma hail from the Necropolis, an ancient and vast underground city. From the quiet isolation of this underground home, they dedicate their lives to the study of the <strong>arcane discipline of Necromancy<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Necromancers are pragmatic to a fault, and their entire doctrine surrounds the <strong>maintenance of the balance<\/strong> between Order and Chaos. Even though they have a neutral standing in the grand scheme of things, Necromancers will always ally themselves with the Order during times of tumultuous conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to the reintroduction of the Necromancer class, Blizzard also gave fans a taste of the first-ever Diablo 4 Xbox Series X gameplay. This showcased everything from enemy strongholds and the game\u2019s open-world concept to its <strong>robust character creation engine<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We don\u2019t have a definite release date for Diablo 4 other than <strong>sometime in 2023<\/strong>. But we\u2019ll keep hunting, and the next few months should see the release of more information about the upcoming game as well as a more specific release window.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Necromancers feature heavily throughout the Diablo franchise.
