It looks like there are already two DLC expansions in the works for Diablo 4. In an interview with Kinda Funny, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson let slip that there are multiple content updates already in the works, even though the game was not yet released at the time of the interview.
During the interview, Fergusson had lots to say about the marathon, which is the development process for games like Diablo 4.
“So you have to build your team and your structure around a way you can do that sustainably because you’re kind of always shipping in a way,” said Fergusson. “As I sit here we’re about to launch the main game, we’re finishing up season one, we’re working on season two, we’re working on expansion one, we’re kicking off expansion two… we’re working on that now [laughs] and we haven’t even launched the game.”
He also addressed the issues with Diablo 3 and why the new entry is a live service.
“Live service allows for more content in seasons compared to Diablo 3,” said Fergusson, “Deeper, richer, & more content.” He also discussed the role of microtransactions in the game, saying that no one can pay to win and the only in-game purchases are cosmetic.
Blizzard recently announced that Diablo 4 is their fastest-selling Blizzard Entertainment game of all time.
