Gottmik’s drag take on ‘Diablo IV,’ what she’d sacrifice from her closet to save the world, & her new book
Diablo IV, Blizzard Entertainment’s role-playing fantasy franchise, which drops on June 6. The fourth installment pits Demon Lilith and Angel Inarius against one another after they previously united to create the world of Sanctuary, which is now plagued with demons (sounds like Florida).And while Diablo IV isn’t as overtly queer as Blizzard’s Overwatch franchise, the video game developer continues to lead the industry with diversity and accessibility initiatives, including Diablo IV’s new character and class customizations, and over 50 features, including text assistance, dexterity modifications, and font and cursor resizing.Gottmik arrived in New York City to celebrate the game’s launch with an underworld-inspired tasting menu from chef Taylor Hestor and mixologist Geremy Alexander.
