Diablo 4 likely won't be the next Diablo III: it will be, in many respects, a bold new direction for the franchise. Plus, building out the systems necessary to maintain such a game over the long term is a large endeavor unto itself. Wedding the game-as-a-service philosophy with the tried-and-true Diablo formula will take a lot of care, attention, and, most of all, time.
Blizzard hopes these changes will help make all class builds. While the Seasons system in Diablo III has allowed fans to remain engaged with that game, a full-on service-oriented title is a whole new ballgame. You dont have to go it alone in Diablo 4, with horses being your trusty steed by your side. Building a title that can stand up to that long test of time, and have the infrastructure necessary to constantly push new content, is no small feat: just ask the team that turned the failed Titan project into Overwatch. Blizzard may even possibly be looking to make it a long-running game-as-a-service, in which case it may be the only new Diablo game for a decade or more. While waiting for these betas, read Game Informer's exclusive guided tour through Diablo IV's Sanctuary.To that end, Diablo 4 can't just be a fun game: it needs to be able to support an active fanbase for years. That closed period runs until March 19 and then starting March 24, there will be an open beta that anyone can jump into. In the meantime, if you preorder the game, you can hop into a closed beta starting tomorrow, March 17. But Diablo IV is out June 6 perhaps there's time for plans to change (although I'm not betting on it, personally). See you in Sanctuary during the Beta Early Access weekend starting on March 17!Īs you can see in Fergusson's tweet above, there's no plans for Diablo IV to come to Game Pass.
It's awesome seeing the excitement around the Diablo IV Beta, and our Wolf Pack puppy! We’ve been getting some questions about D4 on Game Pass and I want to let you know we have no plans for that. Blizzard also had a record quarter with more than 1 billion in net bookings, according to its July 19 earnings report, which the company says was driven by the successful Diablo IV launch.
