Blizzard confirms no more Diablo 4 expansions from now until Diablo 5's release
Eurogamer.net • • technology
Key Points:
- Blizzard announced the return of the Amazon class to Diablo 4, arriving in the first half of 2027, but provided no further expansion plans for the game.
- Fans were disappointed to learn there will likely be no major Diablo 4 expansions before Diablo 5's 2029 release, as the studio focuses on seasonal content and the transition to the next game.
- Diablo 4's story arc, centered on the "Story of Hatred," is considered complete with the Lord of Hatred conclusion, and future narrative developments will be delivered through seasonal events.
- Diablo 5 is set a century after Diablo 4 in a significantly changed Sanctuary, making a direct narrative lead-in from Diablo 4 expansions challenging.
- Blizzard aims to maintain story continuity through seasonal content but is still determining the best approach based on fan reactions over time.
