Diablo 4's Next Major Update Delayed Until Season 10 Launch
2025-07-27 21:02:20Blizzard has officially announced that the next major update for Diablo 4 won't be released until around the launch of Season 10. While Diablo 4's Season 9 just began this month, the development team is already shifting focus toward future content.
Player reactions to recent Diablo 4 seasons have varied, with concerns ranging from technical issues to limited build diversity. Season 9 introduced features like Horadric Spellcraft and Escalating Nightmares, enhancing the endgame experience. However, the community hopes for more substantial updates in future seasons, especially with no new expansion planned for 2025.
Blizzard's Director of Social and Content Marketing, Adam Fletcher, recently addressed fan inquiries on X, stating that the team is currently "between seasons" with no immediate updates to share. He indicated that the next significant update would likely coincide with the Public Test Realm (PTR) for Season 10 or its official launch. This news may disappoint players hoping for mid-season enhancements, especially since Season 10 isn't expected until September.
Fletcher's comments suggest that Blizzard is prioritizing seasonal launches over mid-season updates. While a minor patch was released on July 29 to address bugs, no balance changes or new content were included. This approach indicates a shift in Blizzard's strategy, possibly to allocate more resources toward larger seasonal updates.
Following the Vessel of Hatred expansion last year, Diablo 4 has seen mixed success with its seasonal content. The delay of the next expansion to 2026 has also left players eager for more engaging updates. Fans remain hopeful that Season 10 will deliver fresh and exciting content to reinvigorate the game.
