"Diablo 4" will continue to operate for many years: it will not be a flash in the pan!
Recently, Blizzard's Rod Ferguson Ferguson said in an interview with IGN that the studio plans to keep Diablo IV operation for many years.
"Diablo 4" will adopt the "service-based game" model and plan to launch an expansion package every year. However, the expansion package originally scheduled to be launched in 2025 has been postponed to 2026. In any case, Blizzard intends to continue supporting Diablo 4 instead of starting a sequel right away.
Ferguson said, I don’t know if it will last forever. I think Destiny tried it, claiming ‘it’s a decade of game’, but it soon stopped. We hope players see the direction of the future because we know that hundreds of hours will be invested in playing Diablo, and we also hope that players will know that we respect their time and will not be flashy.
