## Key points

- Diablo 4 will get no more paid expansions, ever
- Blizzard is now focused on Diablo 5, due 2029
- Seasonal content continues, shaping story ahead of the sequel

## Summary

Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 will receive no further large-scale, paid expansions, as the studio redirects its development effort towards the sequel, Diablo 5. Diablo game director Brent Gibson told PC Gamer at BlizzCon that the team feels it has finished telling the "Story of Hatred" and is now focused on delivering Diablo 5 by 2029. This closes out the annual expansion model Diablo 4 followed since launch and confirms Blizzard's shift towards its next mainline entry, though the studio has been clear that Diablo 4's story is not over, just its paid DLC output.

In place of expansions, Diablo 4 will keep receiving seasonal content, which Gibson described as one of the studio's primary ongoing focuses alongside Diablo 5's development. He said Blizzard will use player reactions to these seasons to help shape the narrative bridge into Diablo 5, which is set 100 years after Diablo 4 in a Sanctuary devastated after Diablo's victory. Gibson noted Blizzard does not yet have a fixed picture of exactly how that continuity will unfold, since it depends on how fans respond season by season, with Mephisto's arc in Lord of Hatred marking the transition point towards the next chapter, the "Story of Terror."
