Darkhaven: Diablo veterans spin an ARPG with living, destructible realms

TL;DR Summary
Darkhaven, from Diablo 1/2 veterans Philip Shenk, Peter Hu, and Erich Schaefer, is an isometric ARPG that abandons incremental loot for bold, expressive items and a fully dynamic, destructible, procedurally generated world. It supports solo, co-op, and PvP play in a persistent realm where terrain, seasons, and events permanently shape gameplay, emphasizing movement and terrain-aware combat over stat-driven optimization, and is being funded via Kickstarter ahead of Steam Early Access.
