Twitch streamer complains that the new monsters in Diablo 4 are not new at all

The “Season of Blood” starts in Diablo 4 on October 17th and brings new monsters into the game. The developers presented these in their stream and Twitch streamer Asmongold expressed his criticism.

The streamer Asmongold, who was named the best MMORPG streamer on Twitch in 2022, also dealt with the content of the “Season of Blood”.

On October 4th, he watched the Diablo 4 developers’ stream with his viewers on his Twitch channel and said: The monster mobs are cool, but they’re not new.

The “new monsters” look pretty familiar to Asmongold

This is what Asmongold says about the new monsters: The developers say in the live stream that they will “add a bunch of new monsters” in Season 2. Asmongold reacts visibly excitedly to this and says: “Let me see.”

He looks irritated for a moment, then laughs, before covering his face with both hands as if he couldn’t believe it himself. The live stream shows monsters that are quite reminiscent of the revenants, magicians, skeleton warriors and bats that already exist in Diablo 4.

Wait, but… guys, that’s a revenant.
Wait, aren’t those the magicians?

The mobs are cool, but they’re not new, they’re just reskins.

Here’s his reaction on the Asmongold Clips YouTube channel, uploaded on October 4th:

“They colored all the mobs red.”

Back in August he expressed his criticism of the look of the “new monsters” when he saw an announcement. There he said: You can’t just repaint the same NPCs in the game.

This is what the community says: There are currently over 1,300 comments on the YouTube video. Here you can read a few comments about the monsters in the second season of Diablo 4:

  • The most liked comment comes from Eyestudio11: “Wow, they colored the skeletons red and painted the blood over the revenants, that’s real dedication we expect from Blizzard, isn’t it?”
  • carronline1 writes: “Damn, they learned how to use the paint bucket tool and painted all the mobs red.”
  • DaShikuXI says: “Reskinned mobs related to something like a vampire curse are fine, but of course that should be supplemented with a good amount of new mobs.”
  • ManuelRiccobono writes: “The worst thing is that they sell them as new, when they could just say, ‘We decided to make all the monsters look similar so people would immediately know what their attack pattern is’.”
  • What do you say to the monsters? Would you like to see completely new mobs, or are you happy with the vampire form of mobs? Feel free to leave us a comment here on MeinMMO.
