Leaked screenshots suggest Diablo 4 is taking a leaf out of Diablo 3's campaign book.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Newly leaked screenshots of Diablo 4 suggest youll be able to skip the upcoming action RPGs main campaign.

Following a massive leak that gave us our best looks at Diablo 4 yet, more screenshots of the games test build have appeared online. Uploaded to Imgur and spotted by GamesRadar , the images show various sections of its character creation menu from the Russian language version of the RPG.

The character selection screen includes several optional toggles. When translated through Google, one of these buttons reads Skip Campaign. Get to the good stuff (Image credit: Blizzard Entertainment)

The details of how campaign skipping will work are unclear. Its not obvious whether youll be able to sidestep Diablo 4s campaign right from the get-go,
or if you'll have to complete the single-player adventure at least once
before having the option to skip it with future characters.

Diablo 3 allowed players to skip its main campaign following the release of the Reaper of Souls expansion. By completing the RPGs main questline once, players can choose to ditch the campaign entirely with future characters and play Adventure Mode instead. The optional game mode replaces storyline quests with randomly generated dungeons called Rifts and a series of 25 objective-based quests called Bounties.

The mode is popular among series fans. Opening up Diablo 3 beyond its linear campaign, it lets you explore the entirety of the games map while testing out new classes and builds. Being able to jump straight into Adventure Mode without needing to complete the games 10-hour storyline every time you create a new character keeps the game feeling relatively fresh.

The screenshots also suggest Diablo 4 will contain six acts plus a prologue and epilogue, marking a departure from the five-act structure of Diablo 3 and Diablo 2. Images of the games character creator show players will be able to change the color of their characters clothing, decorate them with a variety
of tattoos and accessories, as well as pick between various body types.

Leaks from earlier this year suggest campaign skipping wont be the only feature thats returning from Diablo 3. A Smart Loot system will ensure enemy drops are targeted to your characters class and stats, while a pared-down version of player trading also looks to be making a comeback. At least Diablo 4 wont copy the panned monetization systems of Diablo Immortal. PlayStation Stars has an ultra-exclusive Diamond tier, according to datamine
