“It’s a summoning class, so you’re going to have more skeletons following you around, like all of our classes, we want you to be able to play it solo clearly but we also want you to be able to play with your friends too,” Foote added.Diablo 3 might have only just arrived on Nintendo Switch near the end of 2018, but it's been knocking around on PS4 and Xbox One for a few years now. “And if you’ve never played it before, we want you to come in and discover this class and discover this commander of the battlefield and dead.”įans will also be pleased to hear that the Necromancer’s Leech ability will be useful for the whole party, although the Necromancer has not been built with the sole purpose of multiplayer functionality in mind. “However, we also want to surprise you and we want to give you something that feels different, new and that will work in the Diablo 3 game. “We want there to feel like a connection with the Necromancer from Diablo 2 and the Diablo 3 Necromancer. “For me, what’s very important about the Rise of the Necromancer pack is if you’re one of the players who experienced Diablo 2 and maybe played the Necromancer, we want you to feel that this class is familiar,” Berger explained.
Speaking to Express Online, Diablo 3’s lead game producer Rob Foote and senior designer Matthew Berger explained more about the new pack coming to the game in the second-half of 2017. While Leech curses enemies and transfers their life to you, your allies are also set to benefit from it. It should also be noted that the one difference between the console and PC version of the Necromancer pack is that only PC will get extra stash tabs, this is due to PS4 and Xbox One players already getting as many as possible from the development team.įans may also be interested to hear more about that Leech skill, which will come in pretty handy when traveling in an online party.
