Blizzard Announces It’ll Be Releasing ‘Diablo IV’ Expansions Each Year

Diablo IV made waves throughout the gaming industry when it launched this past June. In less than a week after its launch, the game had garnered more than $500 million USD for Blizzard, making it an instant success.

Developers have now shared that the fun isn’t over, even once you’ve already beat the game. Speaking to Dexerto, Diablo franchise manager Rod Fergusson revealed that the studio will stay focused on Diablo IV by putting out a new paid expansion every year.

“As we look at our quarterly seasons, and we look at our annual expansions, those are the things that we’re really focused on for our live service,” Fergusson told the publication. “We’ve got plans, we have storylines that go well into the future. We’ve got plans. We’re always leapfrogging our seasons, and leapfrogging our expansions, so it’s something we are going to do for a long time.”

Fergusson cited the 11-year gap between the release of Diablo III and Diablo IV, saying that it “feels like we didn’t live up to our players, our community, and what they deserve.”

“That’s something we are rectifying in [Diablo IV] with our seasons and our expansions,” he concluded.

While the manager didn’t specify what will be included in the next paid expansion, past expansion packs point to new narratives, landscapes and characters. Gamers, however, will have to wait until next year to find out for sure.
