Diablo 4 at this year’s BlizzCon? Anything new for Diablo 3? Unfortunately not. According to Blizzard, there are no major announcements for Diablo fans at the fair.
Many Blizzard fans are already looking forward to this year’s BlizzCon. During the in-house fair, the Blizzard team presented new games, game content, and hosted eSports tournaments. Last year, interesting news such as the Necromancer for Diablo III was introduced.
However, at BlizzCon 2017, we will be waiting in vain for such surprises for Diablo. The D3 team has now officially confirmed this.
Diablo 4? DLCs? What’s next for Diablo?
The hopes that there would be news about the future of the Diablo franchise at this year’s BlizzCon have now been dashed. In the Battle.Net forum, community manager “Nevalistis” explains that there will be no new Diablo announcements this year.
“Last year we celebrated Diablo’s 20th birthday by announcing the old-school cathedral dungeon (if you missed it, you can catch up in January) and revealed the Rise of the Necromancer pack. This year, we want to prepare you for the fact that there will be a show for Diablo, but no new Diablo announcements.”
So you shouldn’t hang your head. Nevalistis added, “There will be an appropriate time for that in the future. But that is not now.”
There will still be discussion topics for Diablo 3 during BlizzCon 2017. The major balance patch 2.6.1 is coming to the game soon and will change quite a bit. A preview of the major changes in Patch 2.6.1 can be found here.
What do you wish for next?
Players have probably been wondering for months what will happen next with Diablo. We have to forgo “the big announcement” during BlizzCon 2017. However, we shouldn’t assume that nothing is happening behind the scenes.
“The Diablo 3 team is currently working hard on the future of the franchise,” emphasizes Nevalistis in the forum.
What wishes do you have for the franchise?
- Are you actually quite satisfied with Diablo 3 at its core and only wish for a few new features or content?
- Diablo 4! Are you giving up on Diablo III and rather wish for a completely new Diablo? What should it do differently than Diablo 3?
Feel free to let us know in the comments what you wish for the future of Diablo.
