Diablo IV will be a game service with seasons and small payments. Old school eyelashes fans may be disappointed

After the release of Diablo Immortal, Blizzard’s life is no longer easy. Although the judges of the “Blizzards” may be satisfied with the money earned thanks to the aforementioned game, it is undeniable that many players have been very disappointed with the creators’ moves and are concerned about the state of Diablo IV. Well, the premiere is already next year, and still not so much is known … Fortunately, everything is slowly becoming clear. Blizzard has finally revealed some specific information about the game.

While Blizzard clearly wants to listen to gamers, it’s easy to imagine the frustration of One and Two fans, who don’t like the business model based on seasons and micropayments…

Diablo Immortal earns so much a day that no one cares about cash. Blizzard definitely not

Both Diablo III and Diablo II: Resurrected offer a seasonal gameplay mode that players have generally welcomed. As Joe Shely, director of Diablo IV, announced, seasons will also be coming to The Four. It will change every three months, that is, four seasons of the year. Each of them must offer, for example, new skills, items, passes, quests, direct challenges or general improvements to the gameplay. Most importantly, everyone has to start with a zero, which gives creators more freedom to design. In short, Blizzard will do everything so that players do not get bored and constantly get many reasons to return to Diablo IV.

As expected, the game will also have microtransactions. In the store you will be able to buy items or skins, and you will be able to do this with a special premium currency, which can be obtained, for example, in seasonal mode. However, Blizzard announces that purchases will be optional and there will be no pay to win – the available mode is only meant to provide additional options for character customization and will not affect gameplay. Interestingly, this does not mean that when playing without small payments, our character will look like everyone else – frugal players will still be able to find unique and rare items of equipment. As you can see, Diablo IV is unlikely to be old-fashioned. While I’m glad Blizzard wants to hear from gamers (at least to some extent), it’s easy to imagine the frustration of “One” and “Two” fans, who don’t like the approved business model… Debut date hasn’t been revealed . We only know that the game will appear in 2023 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Series X | S.
