In a new interview Diablo IV Gold, which is available on IGN(opens in new tab) Game director Joe Shely and Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson went a bit deeper on what players can anticipate when they return to the Sanctuary. Sanctuary.

"One of the concerns about making 'open' the form of a huge neon sign, and flashing it on the sign is that people are influenced by the idea that"the Breath of Wild type of thinking, 'Oh! It's all natural and I'm able to wander around and do anything and eventually determine it myself'" Fergusson said. "That's not the real story. Our story is non-linear however there is a story. We wanted to have a beginning with a middle and an ending. We wanted to start a specific point, and to finish at a particular point."

Diablo 4 is "more of an adventure that branches," he said, players are able to choose the sequence in which they play its major parts--and later play them in a different order in a replay in order to have a different sort of experience as a result. There will be plenty of opportunities for you to get involved in other activities as well as ignoring the main quest when you'd like.

"That's the good thing about the open-world, there's plenty of side quests, there's a lot of things in the world that you can go and do which aren't listed on the"golden path,"" Fergusson said. "And the golden path is a branching path that you can decide when you'd like the branches and in what order."
