Blizzard is currently in the midst of developing two major expansions for the highly popular action RPG, Diablo 4, which has garnered millions of players since its worldwide launch. As a live service title, the game will follow a seasonal approach to introducing new post-launch content, similar to its predecessor Diablo 3. This means that the game will also feature battle passes and cosmetic microtransactions, common in most live service games today. With the first season set to launch in July, Blizzard already has it nearly finalized and is also beginning production on season 2. Additionally, Diablo 4 serves as an entry point for newcomers to the franchise, as it has been ten years since the release of the last mainline Diablo game.
As Diablo 4 continues to make waves in the gaming world, fans have been eagerly anticipating news on upcoming expansions. It's no secret that every mainline Diablo game has had at least one major expansion, so it's natural for players to wonder when Blizzard will announce their plans for Diablo 4. During a recent appearance on Kinda Funny's XCAST, Diablo producer Rod Fergusson confirmed that the team has not one, but two full expansions in the works, alongside the first two seasons. This news is sure to excite fans and keep them eagerly awaiting further updates on the future of the game.
As Blizzard gears up for the second expansion of Diablo 4, speculation is rife that the first one may be released earlier than anticipated. However, Blizzard is known for taking their time with post-launch development, so it's likely that they will hold onto the first expansion for a few months to ensure it meets their high standards. While the franchise has never had a mainline Diablo title with more than two expansions, Diablo 4 is being developed as a modern live service and could potentially see more than two major expansions in the future, especially given Blizzard's impressive progress with the first two. As players immerse themselves in the vast world of Diablo 4, they can look forward to countless hours of gameplay, whether they're racing to the endgame or savoring every moment of the journey. With so much to discover and explore, Diablo 4 is sure to keep fans engaged for months and years to come.
Diablo 4 comes out on June 6 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
