It’s the first new class for the Diablo series in nearly a decade, after the Crusader’s introduction in Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.

Diablo ImmortalDevelopers described the Blood Knight hybrid class as one that combines melee combat with close-combat using polearms. Blood Knight is a hybrid melee class that uses polearms for close combat.

The lore of the Blood Knight is based on Diablo’s version of vampires. Vampires are like a “living plague” in the world of Diablo, the developers said, and their victims sometimes devolve into Thralls (lesser vampiric beings) after being bitten. Blood Knights is a group of humans that have been bitten and turned into vampires. However, they can reverse the curse by using an ancient ritual. Blood Knights will eventually succumb to Thralldom, but they have a keepsake to keep the darkness away. When Blood Knights transform into Abominations, they temporarily “let the curse off the leash a little bit,” the developers said.
