Diablo 4 features more than 150 dungeon locations [1] covering a variety of tilesets depending on location. Dungeon layouts will be randomised in Diablo 4 to a certain extent.
As noted during the Diablo 4 beta, although the dungeon layouts are randomised, there are only slight deviations to the layouts.
Themes and Tilesets
Dungeons in Diablo 4 will differ from previous games where a single tileset would be present in any one dungeon. Diablo 4 feature what Blizzard calls "tileset transition scenes" which effectively connects two different tilesets together to make dungeons more interesting.
Dungeons can also be be themed depending on where they are in Sanctuary or whether they are tied to a specific cultural theme.
Solo
Dungeons can be completed solo but some are tougher than others and may require you to group to make life a little easier when you reach a Dungeon boss or bosses.
Multiplayer
Dungeons will be restricted to either their player or their party taking them out of the open world experience.
Known Dungeons
Known dungeon names and these are all listed on the Dungeon category page. Some details of rewards are known already but more will be fleshed out once the beta test begins.

Nightmare Dungeons
The Nightmare Dungeons are considered end-game dungeons.
Sigils
Sigils can be crafted at the Occultist.
Sigils allow players to upgrade dungeons to make them Nightmare Dungeons where additional affixes are applied to monsters in the dungeon.
Dungeon Leveling
Enemies inside Dungeons will always be equal to your Character’s Level or to the Dungeon's Minimum Level, whichever is higher. Unless you are in World Tier 1 and World Tier 2 where they have a Maximum Level.
Battling enemies three levels higher than your character will provide an optimal levelling experience.

Capstone Dungeons
Capstone Dungeons that players will have to tackle to progress through the World Tiers when the campaign is completed. These dungeons are a lot tougher than normal dungeons.
Players will be able to tackle Capstone Dungeons co-op which means they could get help to make it through the dungeon by playing with other players of a higher level.
A higher level friend can carry you through it if that’s what you choose for yourself. - Joseph Piepiora - Blizzard

Rewards
- Dungeons are rewarding. Dungeons can unlock a Legendary Aspect in the Codex of Power.
- Completing a dungeon will also grant you experience and gold.
- Completing a dungeon will give you 20 Renown points.
