"Diablo IV promises regular story updates and expanding endgame mechanics"

Blizzard has announced that Diablo IV will receive story updates every three months after launch, along with a battle pass that will have free and paid tiers. The game's director cited the popularity of Diablo III's seasonal updates as the reason for implementing live service elements from the beginning. The endgame will include a capstone dungeon, world tiers, a bounty-giving tree, nightmare items, and PvP combat in the Field of Hatred. Blizzard intends to support Diablo IV for many years, just like its predecessor, which has been receiving updates since August 2014 and is currently on its 28th season.
