The leaks are believed to be from a 'friends and family' private beta for Diablo that is currently ongoing, according to reports. Given the franchise's history, it seems a safe bet that Diablo IV will have more difficulty options for higher-level, endgame characters, but what exactly those settings will look like still remains to be seen. Diablo III has five base difficulties (Normal, Hard, Expert, Master, and Torment), with the hardest, Torment, being broken down into 16-different tiers of challenge. Diablo II, for example, has three difficulties (Normal, Nightmare, and Hell) which are unlocked by completing the game with a character on each difficulty in order.

Veteran, on the other hand, is more challenging and is recommended for longtime players of the franchise that 'want to be tested.' Playing on Veteran difficulty will award better loot, more gold, and more XP.ĭiablo as a franchise is known for having numerous difficulty settings. Enemies will be weaker on the Adventurer difficulty (which is recommended for new Diablo players) and will drop average loot. When it comes to difficulty settings, at least at the start of Diablo IV, it looks like there will be two-Adventurer and Veteran.
