The makers have catered to the demands of fans so far with seasonal updates. This includes the Malignant season and the upcoming one. However, the debate’s been running around detailed story expansions similar to the formats of Diablo 4’s predecessors.
After a long radio silence on the expansion, there’s finally something to look forward to. In a recent interview, the Diablo Manager said, “When you look at the launch of the game and this first season, we see that as building a foundation on which we can build for the future. So, 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.”
