blizzard has addressed the volley of diablo 4 leaks that has hit the internet over the past few months speaking to gamesradar diablo general manager rod fergusson admits that its always disappointing when it happens though reassures the leaks havent impacted blizzards ongoing work with diablo 4leaks are always unfortunate fergusson says they undermine the teams hard work and steal some joy from players too you lose opportunities to surprise and delight them so thats always disappointing but the team is dedicated to getting this game done theres a lot of passion going into it everyone loves what were working on and were excited to bring it to the fans so they havent really impacted or influenced development at alldiablo 4 leaks initially started surfacing earlier this year following an alpha test limited to family and friends of blizzard with various images and titbits of information appearing online that would pale in comparison to a grander leak involving over 40 minutes of gameplay spilling over the internetelsewhere during our roundtable with blizzard game director joe shely shared that set items will no longer be included at launch with the team needing more time to get them right blizzard is currently looking at including them as part of diablo 4s live service which im sure diablo 3 fans will be happy to hear fergusson and shely were also asked if diablo 4 would feature a cow level if you know you know though the pair werent drawn into giving too much away we never comment on there being a cow level or not in general with diablo shely explains i will say that our emphasis right now has been on setting the tone for the game its a much more grounded game than weve seen in the past but the game that were making is really only the beginning of it we plan to add lots of stuffso there you have it if youve been out of the loop one of the popular rumours around the original diablo was that there was a cow level leading to one actually being added to diablo 2 complete with a cow king the third game would have to wait until its third anniversary to get a cow level though it did involve the ghost of the cow king alongside a cow queen so it was worth the wait who knows maybe youll see the ghost of both of them one day in diablo 4 the diablo 4 beta hasnt convinced me yet but i cant wait to play more cow level or not
