Diablo 4’s post-launch plans revealed
Diablo 4 is set to launch on June 4, which is just a few weeks away. With the game almost ready to ship, the team behind Diablo 4 over at Blizzard Entertainment has shared some details as to what players can expect of post-launch content.
Diablo 4’s post-launch content plan will commence in July, with the introduction of Seasons. Seasons will be quarterly updates to Diablo 4, introducing “fresh concepts and ideas into the world of Sanctuary.”
The developers have said that they intend for Seasons to be moments of celebration for its players; “something to look forward to, and enjoy with your friends.” Seasons will consist of a new questline for players to embark on. As you progress through your Season Journey, you’ll earn various rewards, and Favor, so you’ll be able to level up your Battle Pass further.

Reaching Diablo 4’s level cap will take around 150 hours of grinding
Ahead of an upcoming open playtest, Blizzard have released their latest developer design video on Diablo 4, this time tackling player choice and the action RPG’s different classes. My favourite detail is that you can become a werewolf and “do werewolf things”. Although getting to that stage may take a while, as associate game director Joseph Piepora recently said it would take around 150+ hours for an average player to hit the Level 100 cap. Sounds like a week’s worth of content then.

Be careful, because playing PvP in Diablo 4’s hardcore mode can result in permadeath
If you’re planning to try out PvP in Diablo 4 during a hardcore mode playthrough, be careful, because if you die, that’s the end for that character.
Hard game modes aren’t for everybody, and Diablo 4’s hardcore mode certainly won’t be either. That’s not just because the game will be tougher than normal though, as Diablo 4’s global community development director Adam Fletcher confirmed that playing in PvP on hardcore mode will mean you have permadeath to worry about (thanks, PCGamer). Fletcher responded to a question from a fan asking, “if you’re playing hardcore and you die in PvP, is it permadeath or…?” responding with a simple “Permadeath.”
Thankfully Fletcher did clarify just a smidge more, as he said that if you die in PvP while playing in hardcore mode, “you will have to make a new character.” If any of you are worried because you want to play on hardcore but don’t want to lose your character, don’t worry, as Fletcher also clarified you can avoid the Fields of Hatred, the area where PvP takes place. Permadeath in hardcore is mostly notable because previously it was believed that hardcore players don’t have to worry about it in PvP, but obviously something changed along the line.
