The launch of Starfield adds to what has arguably been one of the most eventful years for Esports. Looking back at the star-studded lineup of releases we have had in the year, Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo 4 remains among the most celebrated ones. The fourth main installment to the Dungeons & Dragons-themed universe exceeded all the sales predictions. It didn’t take long for the fans to ask for more of Diablo 4. 

The role-playing action-adventure title was released in the first week of June. While it saw a fair share of complaints about its patches, the game stands strong in the list of critically acclaimed titles of recent times. The D&D-inspired title has been the subject of a lot of speculation regarding a possible expansion. Well, we finally have a confirmation on the future of Diablo’s 4-story expansion!

The General Manager of Diablo 4 made the most exciting revelations about the much-awaited expansion of the game’s storyline. The makers have catered to the demands of fans so far with seasonal updates. This includes the Malignant season and the upcoming one. However, the debate’s been running around detailed story expansions similar to the formats of Diablo 4’s predecessors. 

After a long radio silence on the expansion, there’s finally something to look forward to. In a recent interview, the Diablo Manager said, “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. So, as we look at our quarterly seasons, and we look at our annual expansions, those are the things that we’re really focused on for our live service.”

He further added, “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.” 

The reports suggest that the developers are hoping to release the expansion next year during the summer. It won’t be surprising if the extended storyline is released on the first anniversary of the Diablo 4 launch, cashing in on the buzz.

The fourth installment has certainly been a game-changer for the developing giant. It will be interesting to see how the creators follow up on the newly established standards.
