Diablo Immortal is slated to receive new classes over time as free updates. The game's fans have already been able to identify a possibility of a franchise-first character, the Blood Knight.
Diablo IV is set to be released in 2023 following the resignation of the game's previous director at the end of 2021. It was the wake of several litigations and investigations related to the accused culture of sexual harassing and discrimination within Activision Blizzard. In the event that Diablo IV does release, it will support cross-play and cross-progression between consoles and PC.
