A new update is here on the development for Diablo IV

Blizzard have released another development update for Diablo IV, which takes a more detailed look at the skills and talents that players can have access to once the game is released.

Kicking off the update was a message from the games director, Luis Barriga and you can read it below, but it sums up as so, your feedback matters, so if you like what they are showing, let them know and if you don’t, let them know that as well.

To the Diablo Community,

Hello, and welcome to a new installment of our quarterly Diablo IV developer updates. We enjoyed hearing your thoughts on our last blog and have followed many of the discussions it kicked off within the community. It’s very encouraging for us to hear that you appreciate the steady update cadence and the behind-the-scenes looks at our early work. We’re also excited by all the positive reactions we’re seeing to the art, cinematics, and the addition of open-world gameplay to the Diablo franchise. The team has pored over a lot of constructive feedback regarding the current direction of itemization, and we’re looking to give you an update on items later in the year. Some of the progress we’ve made will speak directly to the questions we’ve seen raised in the community, so stay tuned!

I couldn’t be more excited to share the details in today’s update! Our Lead Systems Designer, David Kim, will take us on a deep dive into the ins and outs of the new Skills and Talent systems. We are currently playtesting the new systems, and the early feedback is super promising. I hope you enjoy it, and as always, we’ll be following conversations on our forums as well as other community sites.

Thank you for all your continued feedback and support in this journey as we make the game.

-Luis Barriga,

Game Director, Diablo IV

The above is the skill tree, which they appear to have taken as a literal device this time, for the Sorceress class, the points you can see in the roots and on some branches are passive points, all ways on skills.

There is a lot more to discover on the update, so hit up the blog and have a read for yourself.
