While allegedly it was the team’s primary project for two years, it was eventually cancelled in 2016 due to a rocky development process and comes after the departure of Josh Mosqueira, Diablo 3’s console lead designer. It was supposed to be Blizzard’s take on a gothic, difficult dungeon crawler.

Meanwhile, Hades looked set to bring the franchise in a drastically different direction, more akin to D ark Souls. However, given the general critical and positive response to Reaper of Souls, this came as a surprise to many who worked on the first expansion. No clear reasons were given for the cancellation of the second expansion, although it may have much to do with the lukewarm response the base game received during its less than stellar launch. In a massive interview piece done by Kotaku, 11 current and former employees of Blizzard were interviewed about the new entry. This comes after the cancellation of the second expansion to Diablo 3 after Reaper of Souls, as well as another project codenamed Hades, much of the development team then started working on Fenris, which sources claim to be Diablo 4.

To no one’s surprise, we finally have concrete confirmation that the next instalment in Blizzard’s action-roleplaying series, Diablo, is in development, and it has the code name “Fenris.”
