Given the mixed reception surrounding Diablo Immortal and its monetization, Blizzard has been calculated and transparent regarding how it is approaching Diablo 4's live-service model. While players will have plenty to keep them busy in the base game over the next several weeks, Blizzard has already outlined its plans for the game's live-service future and content updates.

Not only is this the first open-world Diablo title, but Diablo 4 is also the series' first foray into live-service territory. Already the game is garnering significant praise regarding how it moves the Diablo franchise forward into two giant leaps for the long-running ARPG series.

After three betas and an early release window for Deluxe and Ultimate edition adopters, Diablo 4 has now officially released for console and PC players.
