Blizzard has explained why it took the decision not to extend the Diablo 4 campaign story with its post-launch seasons.

Unlike Diablo 3, Diablo 4 seasons include self-contained storylines that expand the world of Sanctuary, rather than continue the main campaign. The continuation of the story is reserved for expansions. "Now seasons, though, when we think about the story, we know that we want to continue to build upon the world of Diablo 4 and the world of Sanctuary, but we do not want to extend the campaign into seasons and then make seasons required reading for the expansions, for that to make sense.

"Once it's established we can now use that for all kinds of things, all the little side stories and the things that are going on that aren't the Eternal Conflict, that are still really interesting and dark and macabre and have that Diablo feeling we want to come across. It's already really fun to be working on that type of content."

Blizzard execs sound very excited about AI, want to use it for level design, coding, and 'anti-toxicity'Blizzard execs sound very excited about AI, want to use it for level design, coding, and 'anti-toxicity'One of Josh's first memories is of playing Quake 2 on the family computer when he was much too young to be doing that, and he's been irreparably game-brained ever since. His writing has been featured in Vice, Fanbyte, and the Financial Times. He'll play pretty much anything, and has written far too much on everything from visual novels to Assassin's Creed. His most profound loves are for CRPGs, immersive sims, and any game whose ambition outstrips its budget. He thinks you're all far too mean about Deus Ex: Invisible War.
