If you head there now, you\u2019ll see two things. On the former, you\u2019ll notice that it\u2019s a 404 page error, while the latter shows the feed with the media removed. It\u2019s clear that Activision Blizzard wasn\u2019t too happy with the <strong>leaked screenshots<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Diablo 4 (2023) screenshots leaked <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Diablo?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Diablo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/diabloiv?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#diabloiv<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/diablo4?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#diablo4<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Blizzard?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Blizzard<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/u9sGLrFDZy\">pic.twitter.com\/u9sGLrFDZy<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Aman Tiwari (@imAmnTiwari) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/imAmnTiwari\/status\/1576468180616110081?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 2, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, while the images and post may have <strong>vanished on the websites<\/strong>, it still remains on Google and search engines until they reindex the sites.

Yet, let\u2019s delve into this idea for a second. <a href=\"https:\/\/diablo-iii.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Diablo III\">Diablo III<\/a> let you <strong>skip the campaign<\/strong> completely and go into Adventure mode if you\u2019ve already played the story once. However, you need to play the story with every class to see each one\u2019s ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve played Diablo III as long as I have, you\u2019ll know that skipping the campaign isn\u2019t exactly a new thing. Perhaps what the leak means is that once you <strong>complete the story<\/strong> with one class, you won\u2019t need to do so with another class. But then, how would you level up and unlock all the skills for those new characters? Also, it kind of takes away the fun of playing it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ll still <strong>play the campaign<\/strong> even if Diablo IV lets us skip it from the start. The story is the main essence of the series, and I want to know what happens next. Maybe this is Activision\u2019s way of making sure we spend money on microtransactions as quickly as possible, as we see happening in the Call of Duty series. The story mode is there, but you don\u2019t have to play it if you don\u2019t want to. Instead, go ahead and spend money on the multiplayer section and make us richer than we already are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s wait and see what the next <a href=\"https:\/\/diablo-iv.en.softonic.com\/articles\/blizzard-latest-diablo-iv-leaks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">leak is that Blizzard will scramble to clear<\/a> before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we\u2019re patiently waiting for Diablo IV to emerge from the fiery pits of hell, we\u2019re bound to get tons of leaks.
