Diablo 5 has been announced for 2029.
There are 2 DLCs, not included here, and they are fairly important for end game. Its become a pay wall.
Normally $40, but currently on sale for $30.
Hope this helps.
This game sucks for players without the 2 expansion packs. The players with the 2 expansion packs are overpowered by like 500 percent compared to the characters with only the standard edition. Which means multiplayer mode is a joke for the people who had only the standard version. Not recommended.
Does this game have a terrible loot grind like Diablo 2? I wasted too much of my childhood grinding for runes and acting like a bot on endless boss runs.
Not really as you can now destroy legendaries and add or swap affixes onto other gear. It used to be you had to store them or remove and store the affix but not you just salvage them and the game stores it. Uniques you can only do that once in current season and turn it into a charm.
People are talking about the DLC in this thread like it's the end of the world or something. So I went searching for the cost of the DLC (it can't be THAT bad)..... $70 for one of the DLC packages. ๐งSo the game came out for $60. They expect their fans to pay an additional $70 then the other DLC is on sale for $30 right now but I'm sure it was much higher when it came out too. So blizzard wanted it's players to sink like $200 into the game. ๐ฑ๐
The DLC (without all the cosmetic bs) is $40 and includes both of the DLC expansions. When the second expansion (LoH) came out, the first expansion (VoH) was bundled into it so that for new players the base game plus LoH expansion is all that is needed.

You buy the base game at $12, Lord of hatred is the only dlc you need which is $30. $42 total to unlock the full game. I don't know why they didn't discount the bundle.
I bought the game yesterday to start the new season 15 today in like 5 hours. I'm at work so I'm starting late
Diablo 3 player here, just finished it recently after it has been on my backlog for over a decade. It was fun, how does D4 compare to D3? I'm hearing a lot of hate for D4 so I may just wait for D5.
So they are going cast aside their biggest cash cow for what is YEARS and YEARS away and likely will be delayed further? Kinda doubt it. Especially considering D3 had a 10+ years of updates AND that overlapped with D4 development (and release) by 7-8 of those years. Heck, D3 was even updated AFTER D4 was released.
People complained that Diablo is somehow missing from Diablo 4, so Blizzard came up with the perfect solution: announce Diablo 5. What a weird strategy.
D4 already feels like it's on life support. Between all the issues it has had and PoE2 taking a huge chunk of attention from the genre, Blizzard's answer seems to be moving on and hyping the next game instead.
Sure, D5 probably isn't coming until 2029 or later since development is apparently just getting started. But you already know a big chunk of Blizzard's resources and attention is going to start shifting toward D5 from here.
Remind me when they bundle all of D4 for under $20. At that price, maybe it'll be worth picking up while waiting for D5.
The crowd wanted NOTHING to do with Diablo 5. On the 30th anniversary they had a perfect opportunity to do a Diablo 1 remaster and they just pretend it doesn't exist. shrug
D2>D1>D3>D4... We all know where D5 is going to end up.

Do yourself a favor and go back the other direction. D2 or D1.
