Blizzard is thinking long-term when it comes to the future of Diablo. In a recent Game File chain interview, Rod Fergusson, General Manager of the Diablo franchise, revealed that Blizzard has laid out a 10-year roadmap for the series.
When asked by Riot Games co-founder Marc Merrill about the “next big inflection point” for the franchise, Fergusson made it clear that the team is in it for the long haul:
Fergusson: “We’re here for the long haul. We’ve been doing long-range planning recently. And I’ve created a roadmap—a 10-year roadmap…it was actually a 12-year [roadmap]—I can see this, this, this and this and all these different things that we can do, [which] is really inspiring. And it’s really exciting. We’re focused on what players want…I can’t tell you much more than that.”
While Fergusson didn’t reveal specific titles or features, the comment suggests that Blizzard isn’t just looking at short-term updates or seasonal content; it is preparing for multiple new developments across the Diablo universe!
