'We have two different kinds of releases after the game launches,' Piepiora said. The continuation of the story is reserved for expansions. Unlike Diablo 3, Diablo 4 seasons include self-contained storylines that expand the world of Sanctuary, rather than continue the main campaign. Speaking to Eurogamer in a recent interview, associate game director Joe Piepiora outlined how story will work as part of Diablo 4's quarterly seasonal releases, which are separate from the planned release of traditional Diablo expansions. In the meantime, pre-orders for Diablo Immortal on iOS are now live suggesting that it could be launching soon, so players will have that to entertain themselves with ahead of Diablo 4’s release.Blizzard has explained why it took the decision not to extend the Diablo 4 campaign story with its post-launch seasons.

The “return to darkness” pillar is a through-line in everything from dungeons to lighting and embodies the idea that Sanctuary is a dangerous and dark medieval gothic world.”Īt the moment, Diablo 4 still does not have a set release date, and knowing Blizzard, it could be a while before it is released. The “old masters” pillar gives us a lens to filter our art through, considering the techniques classical painters like Rembrandt used, with their controlled use of detail, tonal range, and expert use of color palettes. The game’s art director Chris Ryder said, “We approach creating the environments of Diablo IV through a darker and more grounded interpretation than earlier installments. Each dungeon is expected to boast its own dynamic weather, lighting effects, and props to make the experience feel unique and different. Now in the latest quarterly update to the game, the company has revealed additional details that we might be able to look forward to in terms of content.Īccording to Blizzard, it seems that Diablo 4 will be coming with five different regions in the game, and there will be more than 150 dungeons that players can explore, fight monsters, and get loot in. When Blizzard announced Diablo 4 in 2019, not much was known about the game apart from a few concept art, and a couple of teaser trailers here and there.
