The Diablo IV team has shared an update on the coming closed beta, which will be all about endgame.�the narrowly-focused beta comes amid reported new leaks.

Set for release next year, Diablo IV devs talk about post-launch plans, including balancing the meta, adding a seasonal model and Season Pass, and monetization.

Blizzard’s upcoming addition to the Diablo franchise, Diablo IV, has been without a game director publicly since the previous director was forced out earlier this year amid the ongoing lawsuit allegations surrounding the studio. Today, however, the company has announced a new game director taking over the reins in veteran developer Joe Shely.

Yesterday it was confirmed that more high-profile developers are no longer working at Blizzard in the wake of the ongoing lawsuit circling the game studio. These departures include Diablo 4’s Director Luis Barriga, World of Warcraft designer Jonatha LeCraft and lead designer and Overwatch hero namesake Jesse McCree.
