Now Playing: Diablo 4 New Environmental Gameplay Showcase
This is the first official confirmation that Diablo IV will have an in-game shop and microtransactions of some kind, while also reinforcing the fact Blizzard’s next entry in the RPG franchise will be taking a live-service, seasonal approach.
News that Diablo IV will have an in-game store has some fans of the series concerned given the recent release of Blizzard’s free-to-play mobile game Diablo Immortal, which is also playable on PC with cross-play and cross-progression between platforms. Diablo Immortal has been heavily criticized for its various microtransactions, including some many players view as pay-to-win. Diablo Immortal has seen more than 10 million downloads, with Blizzard hailing the game’s launch as the biggest in franchise history. It also sports the lowest Metacritic user score for a PC game in Metacritic history with a score of .2.
Following the Xbox and Bethesda Games Showcase, where Blizzard revealed Diablo IV’s final class and a 2023 release window, Diablo community lead Adam Fletcher stated on Twitter the game will be a full price game but will include optional cosmetic items and, eventually, paid expansions.
Beta registrations for Diablo IV recently went live, though signing up doesn’t seem to guarantee a chance of getting into the beta once it does arrive. No start date for the beta is listed, and the game’s new beta sign-up page lists Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC as platforms, with Xbox One and PlayStation 4 missing despite having already been announced for last-gen platforms.
