Diablo 4: Lord of Hatred is revealing too much too soon and Blizzard risks ruining the joy of discovery

Old man with a long gray beard and flowing hair sits contemplatively. He wears a crown-like structure with spikes, emitting a mysterious and wise aura.

I, like many Diablo 4 players, have been incredibly excited for Diablo 4's second expansion, Lord of Hatred, ever since it was first revealed at The Game Awards. As the April 28 launch date draws ever nearer, I've had to really distance myself from any coverage. Which is kind of the opposite of what every other publication is doing right now, but it's for my own sanity.

While I'm normally all for Blizzard's crazy marketing campaigns, remembering the KFC collaborations and cathedral paintings, I'm not happy with the amount of story reveals going on in the weeks leading up to this launch.

I'll preface this very first world problems rant with the disclaimer that I'm well aware I'm being majorly oversensitive here. I could, of course, just log off, but I really wish there were less information out there about the expansion right now. It's a bit like those movie trailers that go on for too long and give away the entire second act. Save some of the magic for the actual experience!
