The pace of development of major game add-ons has slowed down noticeably, and the Diablo series is no exception. At the DICE summit, franchise manager Rod Fergusson confirmed that the next DLC for Diablo IV will not appear until 2026.
Initially, Blizzard Entertainment planned to release expansions annually, but the production of Vessel of Hatred was delayed, which forced the company to adjust its plans. An additional burden was created by the transition of part of the team to supporting seasonal content, which also affected the timing.
In order to retain the audience, the developers intend to release a roadmap in which they will talk in detail about the upcoming seasons and future updates. Let us remind you that Diablo IV was released in the summer of 2023 on PC, PlayStation and Xbox, and the first expansion Vessel of Hatred reached players in October 2024.
