We know all about the quarterly seasons but Blizzard has been cagey on mentioning expansions and a timeframe for their release. However, it sounds like Diablo 4 annual expansions could be coming.
In an interview with Dextero, Rod Fergusson talks about the game content including seasons but goes further by saying they are planning annual expansions for the game.#
Diablo 4 annual expansions Comment
Quicker than expected?
This actually quicker than I expected to see Diablo 4 expansions based on what has come before for Diablo. Reaper of Souls was a couple of years after the release of Diablo 3 and it basically fixed the game. Diablo 2 LoD took a year but that is a different kind of game entirely. Diablo 4 has a greater scope long-term based on the game world and the fact it’s a live service.
It is good news if they do commit to this expansion timeframe and the next few Seasons should help us understand better where the game is heading longer term. There’s still a lot of work to do with Diablo 4, the player numbers will have dropped off significantly since launch due to a poor endgame.
