Diablo 4 DLC: Will The Next New Class Be A Holy Knight? - My Predictions

The introduction of the new Spiritborn class in Diablo 4 Vessel of Hatred is impressive, but it is just the starting point for a much larger action-RPG experience in the future. As Diablo 4 moves forward, we can expect more expansions and new playable classes that will not only provide healthy competition to the existing Spiritborn but also add more layers and depth to the game world.

However, it’s not clear what exactly these upcoming new classes will be. Given the growing trend of more and more classes in RPGs, developers are working hard to explore new ways to expand and develop the traditional class framework, which makes Diablo 4 have great potential for development in terms of new playable characters.

Especially for those players who seek to accumulate Diablo 4 Gold by mastering unique skills and strategies, new classes mean more challenges and opportunities.

With the next DLC, there is a clear direction worth exploring - introducing classes that have long been desired by players but have not yet appeared in the game, and in this way further improving the background of Diablo 4’s story.

Such a move not only satisfies the demand of hardcore fans for fresh content, but also attracts more new players to join this world full of challenges and adventures.

Vessel Of Hatred’s Ending Symbolizes Downfall Of Light

Although the story of Vessel of Hatred has caused a lot of controversy because of its open ending and incoherent plot development, it still points out a new direction for the storyline of the entire game.

At the end of Vessel of Hatred, the mortal body of Akarat, Shepherd of Light was captured by Mephisto and eventually became the Lord of Hatred’s new vessel. This transformation not only marks a major setback for the forces of light but also indicates that the next Diablo 4 expansion may explore a darker and more desperate world setting.

With Akarat, who was once regarded as an immortal being, falling into the hands of evil, the entire story seems to have come to a pessimistic end. But it is worth noting that there are hints in the game that Akarat has not completely disappeared, but continues to exist. This is reflected in his promise to Neyrelle, telling her that they will meet again.

This arrangement not only leaves players with hope but also sets the stage for the return of characters in the future. This background setting is particularly important considering the possibility of Neyrelle’s debut as a new class.

The Next New Class Should Preferably Be A Holy Knight

Unlike previous versions of the game, the traditional “sword and board” class has not been included in the game since the release of Diablo 4. Although many players called on the development team to include this classic class, the development team seems to prefer to create a more complex new class rather than simply copying the existing template.

However, this does not mean that a holy knight type of class will be absent from the series forever. Considering the overall story direction of Diablo 4 and the class settings that have appeared in previous works, it is still possible that a character with both offensive and defensive capabilities like a holy knight will appear in the future.

In the history of the Diablo series, a holy knight type of class has been reflected. For example, Diablo 2 introduced a Paladin class, and Diablo 3 continued the tradition with a Crusader class. This shows that the development team has a continued interest in this type of character that combines defensive and offensive capabilities. Therefore, it can be speculated that Diablo 4 may reshape similar classes based on new design concepts.

Considering that the story background of Vessel of Hatred hints at the return of Tyrael and the power needed to fight Mephisto, the next new class is likely to be a Paladin or Crusader-type class.

However, this new class will not be a simple copy, but will incorporate more innovative elements, such as the unique functions and diversity of the Spiritborn in Vessel of Hatred. Such a design can not only meet players’ expectations of classic character types, but also bring fresh experiences and deeper strategic choices to the game.

But because characters like a Paladin or Crusader-type class carry more than ten years of players’ emotions and memories, these classes in the new expansion face high expectations.

In order to satisfy a wide range of player preferences, they need to include some iconic skills and gameplay, such as Blessed Hammer spam or Captain America shield throws. This is not only a tribute to the classics but also the key to ensuring the freshness and depth of the characters.

In summary, the addition of this new profession not only can satisfy the long-standing players’ desire for classic character types, but also further enrich their action role-playing game experience while keeping the game fresh. As the game continues to move forward, we can expect more innovations and surprises.
