Blizzard backtracks on Diablo 4 annual expansions, next due in 2026


Blizzard has announced Diablo 4's next expansion won't arrive until 2026, marking a change in its annual plans.

The news was revealed by Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson at a DICE panel event, as attended by journalist Jason Schreier. "In his DICE Summit presentation today on building a resilient live service, Diablo GM Rod Fergusson emphasized serving the game over the plan," a Blizzard spokesperson told Polygon following the event. "A polished, bewitching upgrade that sinks its claws into you - featuring perhaps the best character class in Diablo's history," reads our Vessel of Hatred review.
