What is surprising is that Blizzard is doing it. Consider the following two posters for Star Wars: The Force awakens, and pay close attention to what happens to Finn:Īgain, the fact that this is happening in a game where the Chinese market is the primary focus is not surprising. Removing dark skinned characters, marginalizing their importance, or simply just changing the color of their skin to a lighter color happens all the time in China. Tyrael does not become mortal until Diablo 3, and will still have his faceless angel form which conveniently does not display any of his problematic skin. Placing a game chronologically between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 makes no sense until you consider Tyrael.
Many Diablo fans wanted a game which comes chronologically after Diablo 3. Cheng gave a noncommittal answer about possibly adding the witch doctor later, but given that preregistration for the beta is already happening it seems unlikely. The witch doctor was cut from the game entirely, not even appearing in the cinematic.
