At the Game Awards 2022, the release of the upcoming Diablo 4 was officially announced. Accompanying this, there is an interview with the developers. There, 3 employees revealed how long it will take to reach level 100 – and what you can do until then.
The most important things about Diablo 4:
- Diablo 4 will be released on June 6, 2023, for PC, Xbox, and PlayStation. In our special, you will find all the information about the release and beta of Diablo 4.
- The new action RPG tells the story of Lilith, the daughter of hatred and mother of Sanctuary. In addition, the famous angel Inarius, Lilith’s lover, plays a role.
- 5 classes will be available to you at launch. Diablo 4 not only focuses on classic content such as dungeon crawling and loot but also features an open world and MMO elements like world bosses.
What is the maximum level? The max level in Diablo 4 is level 100. This time you will progress much further than in Diablo 3. In an interview, Associate Game Director Joe Piepiora, Game Producer Ash Sweetring, and Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson discussed the content in more detail (via wowhead).
According to them, it should take “roughly 150 to 180 hours” to reach level 100. However, the endgame begins much earlier, specifically at level 50. From there, you will no longer learn new skills but will improve through Paragon points.
The endgame is reached after completing the campaign. The campaign is expected to take 35–45 hours, depending on your playstyle. After that, various activities will be available to you.

The endgame starts at level 50
What’s included in the endgame of Diablo 4? Once you have completed the campaign, you should improve your character in Diablo 4, similar to previous installments. However, since Diablo 4 relies on an open world with many activities, there are various ways to obtain loot:
- World bosses that unlock higher world tiers (difficulties)
- over 150 different dungeons
- Fortresses that you liberate to unlock rewards and travel points
- PvP with special rewards
- World events such as chests and special occurrences
- “Helltide” – Here, some areas are overrun by hellish hordes
Although you will no longer collect skill points at level 50 to unlock new skills, you can respec at any time at increasing gold costs. Furthermore, items once again have affixes that can grant levels in certain skills.
Even after reaching the maximum level of 100, it should still be possible to earn skill and Paragon points. However, this is associated with extensive grinding and requires that you achieve fame levels in various areas. The first testers have already taken a closer look at Diablo 4:
