While the quarterly Diablo 4 update focuses largely on the ARPG's sound design, Shely does take a brief moment to introduce himself. He keeps his message to fans short and to the point Diablo IV Boosting. He says that he's honored to "continue the vision" of Diablo 4 and that he's humbled to represent the project's development team.
Shely understandably makes no comment regarding Diablo 4's previous director, Luis Barriga. Barriga was let go from Blizzard in early August, part of a series of firings tied to a report regarding Blizzard's "frat culture." Details surrounding Barriga's departure remain unavailable and unclear.
The unwritten message of the latest Diablo 4 developer update is that work on the project is continuing and the team is trying to put Barriga's departure behind it. Obviously, that's not necessarily an easy or realistic thing to do as Activision Blizzard is still in the midst of lawsuits, never mind providing recompense to victims still within the company. That's a burden that Diablo 4 and its new director will unfortunately have to bear.
Diablo 4 is currently in development for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
