We think it is important that players see that the game is changing in meaningful ways. This affords us several advantages and chief among them is that we can really shake the box of Diablo IV with each season, creating unique experiences with each of our quarterly releases. We are in the exciting position of delivering the high-quality, quarterly releases Diablo IV deserves.Īs our game director Joe Shely noted earlier, we are pursuing a seasonal reset structure for our live game-Diablo is a game about choice and possibility! We feel it is at its best when you get a clean slate to start from in a season, picking a class, customizing your build, and chasing down items that support it along the way. Today I finally get to talk about our high-level plans for Diablo IV’s seasonal content updates. Hello, Heroes of Sanctuary! My name is Joe Piepiora, the associate game director responsible for game systems and our live service. We're grateful to have you with us on this journey. We'll also be testing features that enable players who have completed the game's campaign to flag it as completed for new characters they create and allow characters on the eternal realm to contribute to seasonal progress. Later this year, we'll be testing our endgame systems.
#DIABLO IV 2022 UPDATE#
We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your thoughts and reactions. You can read about our monetization philosophy below, along with details on how the Cosmetics Shop and optional Season Pass support and enhance Seasons. This season design requires that all sources of character power come from playing the game, so you will not be able to pay for power in Diablo IV. It also allows players who missed the last season to participate.
This, along with capping paragon points in Diablo IV, ensures that your effort and skill-measured by both dexterity and theorycrafting-determine how powerful your character becomes. To play in the new season, you’ll create a fresh character and experience the new seasonal features and content while leveling up alongside other players. When a new season begins, all the characters from the prior season are moved to the Eternal Realm, where you can keep playing, leveling up, and collecting loot. We agree one of the most fun ways to play Diablo is through Seasons, so we're making the first one available soon after launch and building a dedicated team to bring you up to four Seasons a year, each with major new features, questlines, enemies, legendary items, and more.ĭiablo IV's Seasons are modeled after those of Diablo III.
Many of you enjoy the Seasons in Diablo II: Resurrected and Diablo III and have asked for more extensive season support.
Everything they describe is in addition to delivering the complete Diablo IV experience, the rich endgame features you expect at launch, and regular expansions that continue the story. Our associate game director for live service, Joseph Piepiora, and our director of product, Kegan Clark, are here to talk details. This is often referred to as a live service, and we have ambitious plans here. Today we'll be talking about some of what’s coming to Diablo IV after the game ships. That blog and our previous updates can be read here if you missed out. We hope you enjoyed last quarter's dive into the playstyles of our final launch class, the Necromancer. Hello and welcome to our third Diablo IV Quarterly Update of 2022.
