Diablo 4 is about to break into the wild following a brief early access period, and the early reviews are pretty great with multiple perfect scores (PC Gamer's review is still in-progress, and will be finalised when we've had enough time with the launch game). An omnipresent aspect of Diablo 4's identity is the live service part, with Blizzard able to do things like hotfix a bug that made multiple elite enemies spawn on some poor souls (arguably worth it for the name 'Darcelpocalpyse'), and focusing on delivering a stream of substantial content for players.
Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson gave a wide-ranging interview to Kinda Funny about the game's early reception and, while discussing the live service element, casually mentioned that the team is now working on not one, but two expansions for the game. Fergusson said that the working process for Diablo 4 had to take account of the fact the game's development is intended to be a marathon rather than a sprint, and Blizzard didn't want a situation where the game launched and the team who made it was burned out.
