In other words, it's the exact opposite of Diablo Immortal's microtransactions.īlizzard wants Diablo 4's store to complement the base game's transmog system, and says it will feature both exclusive items and those you can get by playing the game. All Diablo 4 cosmetics will be based on the world of Diablo. "Our cosmetics are complete fantasies, the individual components of which can be mixed and matched with in-game armor transmogs for endless customization options."Īs you might expect from these statements, the Diablo 4 store only offers cosmetics, and none of the items on sale have anything to do with gameplay. Blizzard also says that "the most beautiful cosmetics" are not exclusive to the store. In the game, you can earn hundreds of transmog and cosmetic items, including unique and legendary items. The store has more variety.ĭiablo 4 will follow in the footsteps of Diablo 3 with a seasonal model, albeit with a few modern improvements. Blizzard's plan for Seasons in Diablo 4, as outlined in a new quarterly dev blog, sounds much more ambitious than what it did with Seasons for Diablo 3, giving the player more options than just restarting the game with a new character every few months.Īccording to Diablo 4 Game Director Joe Shelley and Assistant Game Director Joe Pipiora, players will start each season by creating a new character from scratch. Players will then level up their character as they normally would by playing various Diablo 4 games, gaining gear and becoming stronger. When the season comes to an end, seasonal characters will move into the Eternal Realm, where players can continue to level up and become stronger - although outside of the seasonal pool. We want shopping to be a pleasure – before, during and after the purchase. So, if players decide to buy something, it should be because they want it, not because they think they should. Players also need to be clear about exactly what they're getting before they decide to buy, with no nasty surprises. But it's not as scary as you might think. After the infamous microtransactions in Diablo Immortal, people are so tensed up about the upcoming main installment of the Diablo 4 series.
