“That’s actually good for a number of reasons.”
Blizzard has explained why it took the decision not to extend theDiablo 4campaign story with its post-launch seasons.
The continuation of the story is reserved for expansions.
“We have two different kinds of releases after the game launches,” Piepiora said.
“We have our quarterly seasonal releases, then we’ll have our expansion packs.
No, it’s like, this season is rad for this reason.”
Each Diablo 4 season embraces a certain theme, Piepiora explained, which affects the seasonal story-driven quest line.
This approach was informed by the success of Diablo 3’s seasonal model, Piepiora added.
It’s already really fun to be working on that key in of content."
“There are technical considerations and these things take time.
But these are the sorts of things we aspire to as part of our seasonal content.
We don’t want to leave it off the table.
“Expansions, obviously we will be able to explore a lot more of Sanctuary.
But seasons, I like the idea of delving deeper into some areas and revealing new space.”
Diablo 4 launches early June.
Blizzard has also recently explainedhow Diablo 4 level scaling works.
