Diablo 4 Will Receive Yearly Expansions
Blizzard has revealed their plans for Diablo 4 content moving forward, including sharing that there will be “annual expansions” for the ARPG. In a recent interview with Dexerto, Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson talked about the overall content plan for the game.
The Diablo 4 calendar will consist of “quarterly seasons” and will roll out expansions every year when talking about the future of the game.
But, you know, it’s years and years. That’s the thing we’re focused on. When you look at the launch of the game and this first season, we see that as building a foundation on which we can build for the future. So, as we look at ourquarterly seasons, and we look at ourannual expansions, those are the things that we’re really focused on for our live service.

Diablo 4’s Future
There are also plans for further storylines and Fergusson remains pretty confident that Diablo 4’s lifespan will be providing further content for “a long time”. Another comment expressed how previous Diablo titles didn’t quite “live up” to their player’s expectations when it came to the gap between D3 and D4. The 11 years between surely had fans disappointed especially when Diablo Immortal was announced before a full-fledged ARPG. Thereaction at BlizzCon 2018but in order to meet somewhere in the middle offered aPC version as well.
Four quarterlyseasonsand annualexpansionsare to make up for lost time, and give players “what they deserve”. But whether can stick to this predicted schedule is also yet to be seen. Blizzard has previously relayed their plans for paid expansions that would be connected to the game’s main storyline.
