Instead, Diablo 3 and Diablo 4 are continuing to run simultaneously with the former offering a much faster, more arcade-style experience and the latter being closer to the series classic iterations.With both games offering different styles of play, fans of the series have been trying to play every new season when they release. However, with events and seasons often overlapping, theres little time for everything. With this in mind, Blizzard is moving to make sure that events will no longer overlap so fans can play as much as possible.Diablo 4 and Diablo 3 get out of each others wayConfirmed by Diablo Global Director of Community Adam Fletcher confirmed on social media that the two ARPGs will no longer have content releasing simultaneously. Announced alongside a last-minute week-long delay to Diablo 3s new season, Fletcher explained that the season has been delayed after extensive fan feedback regarding overlapping seasons.We received a good amount of feedback that many didnt want overlap with the first weekend of Diablo IVs new season, Fletcher explained. We agree so we are building out that gap and will be more mindful of that going forward.While some players were accepting of the delay so that fans of both games can enjoy everything without splitting their attention, others are less appreciative of the change. One fan criticised the community director for ruining the weekend plans for all the loyal D3 players.Im sorry about this. It isnt what Id hope for, Fletcher told fans. We received notice about 24 hrs prior to us having to adjust the time. The team is needing to create some new code to ensure the transition between seasons occurs smoothly after the issues with the auto scheduler ending the season early back in early January.The Diablo 4 devs promised that there will be better communication with season delays in the future. However, with the team quickly working on new code to allow progress from players to carry over smoothly from player accounts, theres hope that there will no longer be any last-minute delays.While annoying for fans who have nothing else to do this weekend, the delay of the latest Diablo 3 season is the start of something good for the community. For fans who play both Diablo gamesand a little Diablo 2 Resurrected on the sidetheres now more time to experience the latest seasons.For more news on Blizzards ARPG series, read about how D4s latest season is actually challenging for once, or read about how Rod Fergusson believes gamers dont want classic Diablo back anymore.Diablo 4Platform(s):PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/XGenre(s):Action, Action RPG, RPGSubscribe to our newsletters!By subscribing, you agree to our Privacy Policy and may receive occasional deal communications; you can unsubscribe anytime.Share
