Just last month, Diablo 4 players had to adapt to the second major rework of the action RPG since its release in 2023. If that sounds like a lot of change in a relatively small period of time, you aren't alone as fans are worried massive changes may become the new normal. But according to associate game director Zaven Haroutunian, "the intention is not to replace everything just because we can."
Talking to Diablo streamer Raxxanterax (as spotted by PC Gamer) on November 4, Haroutunian dug into the Diablo 4 team's ethos around reworks. The topic is top of mind for players right now following the implementation of a long list of major changes to the game's systems as part of season 11, which has been available on public test realms as of October 21. As mentioned, this is the second set of radical changes for Diablo 4, as season 4's launch in 2024 turned the game into a whole different beast than its launch version.
