What to Expect in Diablo 4
What is Diablo 4? In Diablo 4, players are transported to Sanctuary. Inarius and Lilith, the creators of the world, are fighting for dominance in a rather intense marital dispute. The victims are their children: the humans.
The action RPG aims for players to embark on a hunt for the best loot. For this, they slash their way through various monster hordes with the character class of their choice. The title offers great freedom in character creation through the skill system.
What content does Diablo 4 offer? For the first time in the Diablo main series, there is an open world where you can encounter other players. Once you have completed the campaign, you can look forward to the following endgame content:
- The Tree of Whispers
- World Event: Hell Flood
- World Bosses
- Nightmare Dungeons
- Fields of Hatred (PvP)
- Seasons
- Paragon Board
- Leaderboards
Every 3 months, Blizzard provides the game with a new season. Here players can expect new story content, enemies, and rewards – season 14 has just started.
In April 2026, the second expansion Lord of Hatred was released, which brought new story content, two new classes, fresh endgame challenges, and more.
The cost Diablo 4: Diablo 4 is available in different variants. The standard edition costs 29.99 Euro on Steam (without sale, it’s nearly 50 Euros). However, you can also purchase the expansion pack with both expansions for 69.99 Euros.
Additionally, the seasonal Battle Pass costs some Platinum if you want more than just the free rewards. You have the choice between the normal Battle Pass (1,000 Platinum) and the accelerated Battle Pass (2,880 Platinum), which skips 20 levels.
Our conclusion on Diablo 4 in 2026: Diablo 4 is currently simply the ultimate casual ARPG. No other game in the genre is as accessible and entertaining. Path of Exile (2), its biggest competitor, may go deeper, but it also requires much more effort to achieve something.
In Diablo 4, each class has at least one build that allows you to complete even the toughest content in some way. At the end of the day, it’s all about slaying demons. The game delivers that par excellence. Especially excellent are the gameplay and feel of the individual classes. Each of the available classes has unique skills and a kit that seamlessly integrates and allows for exciting builds.
The biggest criticism of Diablo 4 is the endgame content, which quickly becomes insufficient for regular players, as well as the community’s view that the innovations each season are somewhat unoriginal. The seasonal content often plays out similarly. The impression is: every second season is exciting, while the ones in between are rather dull. The current season makes you unusually strong: Players in Diablo 4 are now absurdly strong, defeating a world boss before it fully appears
