Diablo Devs Innovate ARPG Genre with New Project
Former Diablo and Diablo II developers are creating a new, low-budget action RPG with the ambition to redefine the genre. Given the success of the original Diablo games, this new ARPG, developed by veterans of both titles, has significant potential.
Moon Beast Productions, an independent studio founded by Phil Shenk, Peter Hu, and Erich Schaefer, secured $4.5 million in funding to develop this innovative ARPG. Their goal is to break free from established design conventions and revitalize the hack-and-slash experience. The team, boasting over 20 years of experience, aims to recapture the essence of the early Diablo games while forging a more open and dynamic gameplay style.
While details remain scarce, the involvement of such experienced developers suggests the game could become a top contender in the action RPG market. However, success won't be guaranteed. The genre is fiercely competitive, with established giants like Diablo IV (and its successful Vessel of Hatred expansion) boasting massive player bases.
The challenge is further amplified by other strong competitors such as Path of Exile 2, which recently enjoyed a phenomenal launch on Steam, achieving a peak concurrent player count exceeding 538,000—placing it among the platform's top 15 most played games. Breaking into this crowded market will require a truly exceptional game.
