With the release of new Diablo 4 patches Blizzard has successfully reversed certain changes that had faced significant criticism after their introduction in the previous major game update. Responding to the negative feedback surrounding update 1.1.0, which notably weakened all character classes, the new update has effectively addressed the issues from the initial season 1 update.
Last week, Blizzard’s President Mike Ybarra has mentioned that the wait for Diablo 5 will be shorter compared to the wait for Diablo 4 or 3. He hinted at potential expansion for the fourth installment, reinforcing their commitment to long-term support. Ybarra assured fans that the waiting time for new games will be reduced and teased exciting plans not only for Diablo 4 but also for the future of the franchise.
