You may want to know if Diablo 4 is open world? The newest game in the franchise makes some big changes to how things work, especially when it comes to the layout of the world.
Is Diablo 4 open world?
In short, Diablo 4 does have a fully open world map for players to explore across the campaign and end-game, making for a first in the franchise.
On release, the world map will contain five distinct and massive regions which you can travel to in any order and without having to wait for a loading screen. In the lore, this only constitutes the upper-right portion of the Sanctuary map (shown in the image above), though we expect more regions to be added in future expansions or seasons.
The game's art director, John Mueller, claimed that the regions themselves will be "10 or 20 times larger than any previous Diablo region". This gives you a lot of room for exploring and finding collectibles, materials, lore books, and much more.
With this new open world map, it has also allowed the developers to implement some MMO aspects to the game. For example, you can see other players randomly when exploring regions and also take part in events, ranging from small group events to world bosses. There are also dedicated PvP zones if you feel like taking on another player.
That's all for our explainer of whether Diablo 4 is open world, and now you know the game has a seamless open world with five unique regions.
