Blizzard has apparently revealed that Diablo 4 will be getting annual expansions like the MMO it🐷 most decidedly isn't.

Diablo franchise boss Rod Fergusson casually made the news in an interview with , in which he seemingly confirmed annual expansions will accompany the seaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚsonal updates in Diablo 4's roadmap going forward.

"When you look at the launch of the game and this first season, we see that as building a foundation on which we can build for the future," he said in the interview. "So, as we look at our quarterly seasons, 𝔍and we look at our annual 💟expansions, those are the things that we’re really focused on for our live service."

Fergusson didn't expand on what seems to be some fairly significant news, and chiefly he didn't ♍say when the annual updates would start releasing, but he aℱdded vaguely:

"We'🧸ve got plans, we have storylines that go well into the future. We’ve got plans. We're always leapfrogging our seasons, and leapfrogging our expansions, so it’s something we are going to do for a long time. We're excited."

Yearly expansions are most common in MMOs like Elder Scrolls Online, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Destiny 2, and Lord of the Rings Online, and altho♈ugh Diablo 4 technically isn't an MMO but an action-RPG, it's interesting to see Blizzard continue to treat it like one in terms of its live-s♚ervice offerings.

Again, as there hasn't been an official announcement, we know next to nothi🧜ng about Blizzard's plans for Diablo 4 annual updates, and I definitely have questions. Will they be paid updates? Will they exist in separate realms that make you start a new character like the seasonal stuff? That wouldn't be very MMO-like, but it's definitely possible. 

Finally, why haven't we heard anything from Blizzard about this? It seems like pretty big news to nonchalantly drop as a side comment in an interview, which leads me to wonder whether it was a goof by Fergusson. Thඣere's beenꦦ a lot of controversy around Diablo 4's endgame right from launch, and annual expansions have the potential to dramatically reshape that aspect of the game, so one would think Blizzard would make a s♉lightly bigger deal about it. I'm sure we'll learn more in the future, but for now there's def꧃initely a curious air around the whole thing.

And rather than confirm or deny Fergus💎son's quote, a Blizzard spokesperson instead told us when asked about it that they would "be in touch" should they have something ღto share.

Watch out for this Diablo 4 invincibility bug happening in the PvP areas.
