Diablo 3's seasons helped keep the game fresh over the last seven years, and Kim said seasons are something Diablo 4 will also employ to keep the game replayable. He said the demo on the show floor was pretty indicative of what the game will feel like-there will be people around that you run into from time to time, but there won't be so many that they undercut the feeling that Sanctuary is a dangerous place filled with terrors.Īnd then there's seasonal content. Murphy said that Blizzard is still working on finding a balance between including other players in public spaces to make the world of Sanctuary feel more alive and populous, without sacrificing the developer's focus on a darker, more horrific tone for Diablo 4. Diablo 4 includes public events and world bosses you can take on with other players even if you're not grouped up with them. In Diablo 4 hands-on demo available at BlizzCon, it was possible to run into other players in open spaces outside of dungeons, like in an MMO or live game.

'So in the endgame, we want not only that dungeon-running experience, which is also fun and great too, but we also want to up the stuff that's going on in the world too, for variety, for additional challenges, things like that.'Īdventure mode's influence can be felt in the rest of Diablo 4 with the game's new focus on public spaces that include additional players beyond just you and your party. 'We'll have something like Adventure mode, but we don't know exactly what that is yet, but we'll have the replayable content that you can play forever in the world, and we do want to up the game there a little bit,' Kim explained. It's coming back, but Kim said what form it will take or how exactly it'll work is something that's still being determined.

Another feature not yet set in stone is Adventure mode, the replayable endgame mode that appeared in Diablo 3.
