Back in March, we had the only two dates available for the beta access test at Diablo IV and, these days, we continue to live with the monkey of having tried it and having to wait until June 6th. So any news regarding the Blizzard title is a little torture that reminds us how badly we want to get your hands on it.
A piece of history or not?
It’s not strange to see – for many years now – how companies decide to extend the campaign story of their games with what were then called expansions. These DLCs? they added more missions, story arcs, characters, and plots that kept the franchise going and made it more sustainable. And when it comes to installing them in the market for years, nobody better than Blizzard.
The Irvines are masters at taking a game and making it last. The first Diablo not so much but Diablo 2 remained active for almost 12 years there Diablo III It didn’t hit that number but it stayed close, with 11. So if you want to keep something fresh and interesting for players, or you put in powerful multiplayer with rewards and seasons, or you add new dramas to the story, in this case, that happened in Sanctuary.
And Blizzard will opt, in addition to this system of seasonsWhy the story of Diablo IV have almost no end from an essential axis and very intertwined in the online itself. And it is that thanks to this open world structure, endless possibilities open up to continue discovering new events.
Updates every…
This is Joseph Piepiora, director of Diablo IVthe one who gave voice to this decision that they took from Blizzard and who will allow the game to receive campaign updates –or story mode– every three months. As if that weren’t enough, he also confessed that they will be “substantial updates” that will bring “new arguments related to new mechanics and features”.
This way it will be much more exciting to do what we have always done with the Diablo so that they last us so long: play them and replay them with different characters and classes
otherwise remember all company games based on these levels completing a good chunk of many players’ objectives once they had already completed everything. Showing these armors, weapons or cosmetics never hurts and in this, the Americans are true masters. So facing Diablo IV, we can expect the same and much more. Specifically, the plot is updated every 90 days with always mouth-watering extras.
Do you think that is a sufficient period of time or would you have liked updates less and less time?
