So you can take this with a grain of salt but the story is picking up as daily star and others are reporting on it:

"Basically it's a friend of a friend who works at Blizzard" story.
Main points:
° The next Diablo game is going to be fully Open World. All physically fluid in and out like World of Warcraft/Fallout/Assassin's Creed Oddysey etc..
° It's a sequel, Internally there are 2 names that they've been bouncing back and forth. Diablo 4 or Diablo: World of Sanctuary. Chance are most likely they'll stick with Diablo 4 for consistency.
° It is NOT single player only like the 4chan leak was suggesting and it has multiplayer and multiple classes. Class systems and multiplayer core parts of what makes a Diablo game.
° It will be played in a isometric view and most importantly it's an isometric MMO. So basically, think of the games like Lineage Eternal or Lost Ark but done by Blizzard and is in the Diablo universe.
° You can go anywhere and do anything whether that'd be quests, dungeons, slaying random mobs or even PvP among many other cool activities.
° There is a mainline quest line with a main plot that can be played solo with friends and other random people. However, there are no seperate acts. The world is giant and free. Most of your time though you'll be spending time on side activities.
° There is PvP, but I don't know exact details how it works.
° You can see and meet other people in towns and regions.
° I am not sure what the server capacity is or how many people a town or a zone/region can hold.
° It's running on a brand new engine that looks very modern and clean. (I think this is obvious anyways)
° The game is a lot darker than Diablo 3 but still stylized. Not ultra realistic, but dark enough. Think of Dark Souls artstyle but a tad less realistic. But yet close enough. It's hard to describe without seeing.
° I have no details in regards to some of the more core important stuff such as loot system (arguably the most important), how stats work, how many levels there are and what the endgame is like.
° However, I can assure you this will be treated as a live service game similar to Heroes of the Storm, World of Warcraft and Overwatch where you get in game events, special cosmetic items and etc. There will be always things to do and in a good Blizzard fashion they will be adding new systems over time and polishing the game throughout its life.
° Classic classes returning such as Barbarian, Sorceress, Amazon, Necromancer, Paladin.
° I have no information in regards to Diablo 1 or 2 Remaster.
° The game was being developed ahead of time with next gen consoles in mind. The game will be coming to PS5 and project Scarlett (Next Xbox) at some point in time.
This a next generation Diablo game but as we all know blizzard is great with optimization so don't be fearful about your pc setup as of now.
° The game is a while off.
With BlizzCon closing in, and Blizzard already hinting at a new Diablo or Diablo project in the works, how legit is this?
