Diablo 4 and Diablo 3 developer Blizzard has changed tact as of late. Alongside moving development timelines to make sure the two popular ARPG games no longer have conflicting season release dates, the studio is introducing new processes in an attempt to stop buggy releases in the future.
Via Diablo’s global director of community Adam Fletcher, Blizzard is introducing new measures to improve the quality of season launches in the future. Across both Diablo 4 and the aging Diablo 3, fans of Blizzard’s games should all benefit.

Speaking to fans on social media, Fletcher explained that there are “extensive efforts” behind the scenes to release seasons with fewer issues than set launches.

While the recent Season of Witchcraft launch for Diablo 4 has been largely well received, there have been major issues with bugged skills affected Necro builds, for example. Of course, with a game as massive as Diablo, some bugs are bound to occur, but Blizzard is aiming for substantially less.
“There is some extensive efforts to improve the quality of our releases,” Fletcher told fans on Twitter. “Will take some process changes/changes to a lot of things overall to help on this so it may be a bit before that is reflected but it is a huge thing we are focusing on.”
With fans clamouring for more expansions, more classes and more content, Diablo 4 is only going to get more complex as the years go on. While no expansion has been announced for 2025 as of yet, fans believe the next one will bring a new Paladin-like holy class that was teased in old Blizzcon artwork.
