No more Diablo 4 expansions are planned, but there's 'a lot of room' for more storytelling in the leadup to Diablo 5
The Diablo team is "all focused on seasons and getting to Diablo 5," support for Diablo 4 will continue "for a very long time," says Blizzard.
At BlizzCon, Blizzard revealed that Diablo 5 will be set a century after Diablo 4, with the story unfolding in a Sanctuary overrun by Diablo himself. However, no more expansions for Diablo 4 are planned, as the team is focused on releasing seasons leading up to the launch of Diablo 5 in 2029. Diablo game director Brent Gibson stated that the team feels they've told the story of Hatred, concluding with Mephisto, and now they aim to tell the story of Terror.
Even without expansions, the Diablo 4 narrative isn't over, as Blizzard needs to create an apocalypse in preparation for Diablo 5. Gibson emphasized the game's continuous support, citing Diablo 2 Resurrected as an example. He also mentioned the possibility of running Diablo 4 and its sequel concurrently, but acknowledged that dev resources will likely focus on Diablo 5 after its release.
