Blizzard revealed its newest trailer for the Summer's Biggest Blockbuster: Diablo 4. Directed by Oscar winner Chloé Zhao, this live-action trailer, dubbed Saviors Wanted, features a look at the regular people of Sanctuary and how the ongoing war between Diablo's Angels and Demons affects their lives.

The video was co-directed by Kiku Ohe in the lead-up to the global launch of Diablo 4, the fourth installment of the famed role-playing gothic video game, making its debut on June 6, 2023.

Set in the dark world of Sanctuary–a realm that has been besieged by horrific monsters while the High Heavens and the Burning Hells wage destructive battles against each other–Saviors Wanted captures the immersive and dark world that the series is known for and delivers the kind of cinematic drama that exists within the game. With a gripping story that interweaves emotion and humanity into the game's characters, the promotional film takes viewers on a journey of destruction at the hands of Lilith, the Blessed Mother determined to rule over Sanctuary once more.

"Working with Blizzard, we had the wonderful opportunity to bring the dark, thrilling and imaginative world of Diablo IV to life," said Chloe Zhao. "Diablo fans are very passionate, and many have been with the game for over two decades. We want to do right by the fans, honor the game's rich lores and visceral world building while evoking the strong emotions the players feel while immersing in the game."

All Hail Lilith

In the latest story trailer, Blizzard introduced us closely to Lilith and how her influence brings torment to the human realm, called Sanctuary. Diablo 4 takes place fifty years after Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls. It tells the tales of Lilith and Inarius, the creators of Sanctuary, and their attempt to escape the Eternal Conflict, a warfare between the Burning Hells and the High Heavens.

Amidst this world of suffering and constant strife is our protagonist, taking on the role of one of five classes: the shapeshifting Druids, agile Rogues, elemental Sorceresses, brutal Barbarians, and cunning Necromancers. As players grow in power, they can build their gameplay experience in directions that appeal to them, experimenting with skill trees to showcase complimenting spells and abilities.

Diablo 4 will be released on June 6, 2023, featuring cross-platform play and progression on Windows PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4, plus couch co-op on consoles at launch.
