Unique stat boosts and special perks are also to be offered during end-game progression, while the developer went on to mention that it's exploring ways to make top tier and legendary gear more 'exciting and sought after.' Blizzard noted the weekly XP cap is another area it's looking to improve, by making it less harsh on capped players and more generous to those still catching up.Īlthough Diablo Immortal will mark the 23-year-old franchise's fourth entry when it launches next year, Diablo IV - the series' next mainline installment - is still on its way. Alongside this, higher Paragon will provide better rewards like more powerful items, as a system will be implemented to scale the in-game difficulty to the player's Paragon level. Upon crossing the max level with their character, players will see their Paragon levels increase their character's power. Lastly, player progression in Diablo Immortal will be tweaked in several ways. Challenge Rifts will also give exclusive upgrade materials for a better reward to players who are up to the challenge.

Bounties are to be adjusted as well, becoming more engaging and rewarding with conveniences like four accepted bounties now being located within a single zone. As such, new PvE-centric Raids will be added to the Helliquary system, with Helliquary bosses being designed for eight-player parties in mind.

On the PvE side of things, Blizzard is planning to add more long-term goals and activities with the aim of enriching the game's social experience. Furthermore, the endgame faction-based game mode that combines PvP and PvE features, Cycle of Strife, is being optimized as well. What exactly will Blizzard be working on during that time? Regarding the PvP Battleground game mode, the developer will be looking closely at matchmaking, ranking, balance and time to kill, among other significant elements to make the experience more enjoyable.
