Diablo IV will receive annual expansions, with the development team already planning for the future and aiming to rectify the long gap between Diablo III and Diablo IV, according to Diablo franchise general manager Rod Fergusson.
Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 will follow the same model as Destiny 2, with quarterly seasons and annual expansions, as they aim to build it into a live service game.
Diablo 4 Season 2 is highly anticipated by the community as it is seen as a make-or-break moment for the game, with players hoping for a significant amount of new content to revive the declining player count and viewership.
Blizzard developers claim that it would take approximately 4 hours to reveal all the new content for Diablo 4's Season 2, but some fans remain skeptical due to declining player count.
Blizzard will hold two showcases to reveal the upcoming Season of Blood in Diablo 4, which is expected to be much bigger than previous seasons and will feature vampire-focused gameplay and new endgame activities.
