Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham has said that the developer is currently prototyping ?interesting? new approaches to player-versus-player in the upcoming Diablo IV, and that the game will feature a seamless shared world unlike anything the series has seen before.
Speaking to EDGE magazine (via Wccftech), Adham teased that Blizzard is in the process of finalizing PvP features, and that players will understand ?the implications of this big, social, connected open world? as they play Diablo IV.
