Diablo 4 dev confirms players can skip the campaign on repeat playthroughs
A Diablo 4 developer has confirmed that players will be able to skip through the game’s campaign on repeat playthroughs for separate characters.
Diablo 4is going to be an absolutely massive game for players to go through. With several different zones, dungeons, classes, and an endgame to farm up, players can spend hours on end grinding out the game, as you’d expect from a Diablo title.
With the game releasing in just over a month’s time, Blizzard has been hard at work squashing bugs, as well as responding to feedback and answering questions. Alongside this, the developers released an open beta period for players to test the game, andhave announced another one on the way.
WhilstDiablo4 doesn’t release until 6 June, 2023, many of the devs have taken to social media like Twitter to spread more information about the game. One developer, in particular, was able to answer a burning question about a feature shown in thelatest Diablo 4 video, specifically the ability to skip the campaign.
Global Community Development Director at DiabloAdam Fletcherresponded to the tweet, explaining the feature further.
Gotta beat the campaign once for this.
Fletcher announced that the campaign skip feature will only be available when Diablo 4 players have completed the campaign at least once. However, beyond that point, anyone can use the feature to skip running the campaign on new characters.
This feature will help greatly for anyone looking to create alternate characters for different classes. This means that instead of being bound to the story, players are able to openly explore at their own leisure, and may find better methods of leveling than following the campaign questline.
The campaign skip feature will also be available to seasonal characters also, with a recent interview withWoWHeadconfirming this. “All future characters, including new seasonal characters, will have the option to skip the campaign at character creation.”
