Diablo 4 developers are hard at work implementing feedback from the community as the May 14 launch approaches. Executive producer Rod Fergusson recently discussed the team’s approach to Season 4, highlighting their focus on recapturing the success of Season 2.
Season 2 of Diablo 4 was particularly well-received due to its vampiric theme and emphasis on the game’s power fantasy. Fergusson stated that Season 4 will prioritize this aspect, offering players a satisfying and empowering experience.
One key element of Season 2 that will be carried over to Season 4 is the increased mob density. Fergusson explained that the team has been optimizing the game’s engine and art to allow for more enemies on screen. The Helltide event in Season 4 will showcase this improvement, featuring massive worms that spawn hordes of monsters.
The process of increasing mob density has been an iterative one, with the developers fine-tuning the game’s engine over several seasons. Fergusson believes that Season 4 will strike a balance, offering players a thrilling and rewarding combat experience.
While these mechanical changes are significant, players are eagerly awaiting news on the thematic direction of Season 4. Fergusson hinted that more information will be revealed in the coming weeks, leaving fans excited for what’s in store.
