those looking forward to Diablo 4 You might be surprised to hear that the game will have no map overlay.
They should be surprised, since this was a quality-of-life feature in previous Diablo games.
according to Diablo General Manager Rod FergusonBlizzard “currently has no plans” to implement the feature for long-term use.
This means players will have to rely on mini-maps or interrupt their gameplay by pulling up full maps–the latter of which can really break the immersion at times, depending on the game.
Hopefully Blizzard will change its mind and add map overlays in the future.
The studio has recently applied a number of fixes and updates to Diablo 4, thanks to player feedback and game data from the beta.
These changes include dungeon event tweaks, class tweaks, dungeon optimizations, spawn rate increases, boss mechanics changes, some quality of life fixes, and everything in between.
The next Diablo 4 Developer Update livestream will air on Thursday, April 20 at 11am PT, 2pm ET and 7pm UK. It will feature Game Director Joe Shely, Associate Game Director Joseph Piepiora, and Associate Community Director Adam Fletcher.
Blizzard said that during the March 17 and March 24 testing weekends, Diablo 4 played more than 61.5 million hours, killed more than 29 billion monsters, and gained 2.6 million beta wolves. .
The game, which hits PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S on June 6, recently went Gold.
