Diablo V replaces safe towns with a travelling caravan

Diablo V does not have a town. Blizzard has confirmed that instead of permanently safe cities, the player travels with a growing caravan of survivors.

Caravan members act as merchants, companions, quest givers and narrative characters, and may also serve as upgrade stations for crafting and supply - that last role was described as a possibility rather than a shipped feature.

Confirmed members

  • A former Sister of the Sightless Eye.
  • A stranded Treasure Goblin searching for a new purpose in a ruined world.
