Diablo 4 fans anticipating a new expansion in 2025 will need to adjust their expectations. Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson revealed at the DICE Summit in Las Vegas that the next major expansion won't arrive until 2026.
Fergusson announced plans to improve community engagement by implementing content roadmaps, mirroring the strategies of Diablo Immortal and World of Warcraft. A roadmap detailing Diablo 4's 2025 content, including seasons and updates, is expected soon. However, the 2026 expansion will not be included in this roadmap. He stated, "In 2025, or just before Season 8, we will have a 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4. Our second expansion won't be on that roadmap, because our second expansion is coming in 2026."
While Fergusson didn't elaborate on the reasons for the delay, he hinted at challenges encountered with the previous expansion, Vessel of Hatred. Originally slated for a 12-month release cycle, it was released 18 months after the game's launch due to unforeseen circumstances. He explained that responding to player feedback and adapting live content required diverting resources from Vessel of Hatred, causing an internal delay and subsequently pushing back subsequent content.
Diablo 4 recently launched its Season of Witchcraft, introducing new witchcraft abilities, a fresh questline, and more. The base game received a 9/10 rating, praised for its "stunning sequel with near-perfect endgame and progression design."
