Blizzard has revealed their plans for Diablo 4 content moving forward, including sharing that there will be “annual expansions” for the ARPG. In a recent interview with Dexerto, Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson talked about the overall content plan for the game.
The Diablo 4 calendar will consist of “quarterly seasons” and will roll out expansions every year when talking about the future of the game.
But, you know, it’s years and years. That’s the thing we’re focused on. 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. - Diablo General Manager Rod Fergusson – via interview with Dexerto
What are Diablo 4 Pre-order bonuses?
Players who pre-order any Diablo 4 version, will get the Light Bearer Mount and, if done before March 17th, will gain access to that Beta that runs from March 17th to March 19th.
This applies to all versions and systems in which the game is available.
Which version should I get?
This is really a personal question, and fanaticism for the series as well as economic possibilities should be taken into consideration. Are you a die-hard fan of the series and want to have all the possible additions? Then probably the higher-tier editions are for you.
Something that should be noted is that both Digital Deluxe edition, as well as the ultimate edition, grant players 4 days of early access to the final game. So if you want to dive into Sanctuary as early as possible, any of those editions will be able to feed you your dungeon crawling ration a few days before the Standard edition.
