Blizzard's Rod Fergusson confirmed Diablo 4 will have a long-term focus, with plans for yearly expansions rather than rushing into Diablo 5. The game, which launched in 2023, has already proven to be a commercial hit, grossing over $1 billion. The next expansion, originally slated for 2025, has been postponed to 2026. This indicates a shift towards a live-service model where player engagement is prioritized, reflecting Blizzard's commitment to its player base and their significant investment in the game.
Blizzard's Rod Fergusson stated that the company plans to keep Diablo 4 around for years with yearly expansions, indicating no immediate sequel.
Diablo 4 has been a financial success, earning $666 million shortly after launch and reaching $1 billion through various monetization strategies.
Fergusson emphasized the importance of respecting player time, stating that the game's longevity is intended to reflect its commitment to a dedicated audience.
A decade gap between Diablo titles is typical; following this pattern, players should not expect Diablo 5 anytime soon.
