Unlike the last one, which focused on the Necromancer class, todays is all about seasonal content and the teams post-launch plans. Also, the title’s director Luis Barriga said Diablo 4 was not coming out soon back in 2019. For example, Blizzard created a new engine to improve gameplay, visuals, cinematics, and performance.

If so, that would be a stellar start for a game I am very much still looking forward to, despite Blizzard’s shenanigans elsewhere.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Blizzard released the third Diablo IV Quarterly Update for 2022. However, a mid-2023 seems more likely given the amount of work the game takes. I hope it’s as straightforward as they’re claiming here. I don’t see any of that kind of deception here. It’s the exact opposite of what we got from the Diablo Immortal team, which hid vast swaths of the monetization system before launch, and used semantics to dodge, like how they weren’t selling “gear” because extremely powerful legendary gems in gacha loot boxes were not “gear” since they didn’t occupy an item slot. There’s really no other way to read what they’re saying here, as they’re being pretty explicit and direct.

I genuinely think they’re just committed to selling literally nothing but cosmetics, and at least attempting to make those cosmetics not the only place cool looking gear is acquired. Not through items or gems, not even through boosts or paid season pass perks.Īt this point, I have to admit they are saying all the right things, and I cannot find any tricky wording or things they might try to sneak by players. They even go on to say that no, the “best looking” skins are not exclusive to the item shop, and they believe that the coolest armor and gear in the game is from…the actual game.īut fundamentally the point is there is literally no place in the game where Diablo 4 is selling power directly. No power gains, you’re not fishing them randomly out of loot boxes. The shop sells what are essentially just skins for use in transmog for your character. The blog post then dives deeper into the item shop, once again attempting to prove that there’s nothing fishy going on here.
