What Blizzard is showing off is still only in a pre-alpha state. Obviously, there are no enemies or combat in these videos. The game is supposed to be an open–world RPG, which will be a first for the Diablo series, with over 150 dungeons.

The art and visuals look great for being pre-alpha, but just judging from these gameplay clips, I’m not seeing the full return to hellish locales that are in the classic Diablo games. Path of Exile has its share of dark, gothic environments as well, and if Diablo IV doesn’t equal or surpass those, many fans are going to be disappointed. It’s still way too early to pass judgment though.
