Blizzard Discusses Objectives with Diablo 4Devs Aim to Prioritize Content Players Will Appreciate
"I mean, one of the things you’ll notice about Blizzard is that we rarely discontinue games. So you can still play Diablo, Diablo 2, Diablo 2: Resurrected and Diablo 3, right?" Fergusson told VGC, "And so the continued engagement with Blizzard games is fantastic."
Fergusson also mentioned that Blizzard desires players to "play what they prefer." While there are financial advantages for the company if more players transitioned from Diablo 3 to Diablo 4, he noted that the company is "not actively trying to figure out 'how do we get them to switch?'"
"And whether they’re playing Diablo 4 today, or tomorrow, or at any time, our objective is to create content and features so appealing that players will want to play Diablo 4," Fergusson said. "And that’s why we continue to support titles like Diablo 3 and Diablo 2, so for us, it’s truly a matter of 'let’s create something so captivating that players will want to play it'."
