Diablo 4's Post-Vessel Expansion Delayed to 2026

Feb 21,2025 Author: Aurora

Diablo 4 fans anticipating a new expansion in 2025 will need to adjust their expectations. Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson recently announced at the DICE Summit that the next major expansion won't arrive until 2026.

Fergusson highlighted the team's commitment to improved community engagement, mirroring the approaches of Diablo Immortal and World of Warcraft by introducing content roadmaps. A roadmap detailing Diablo 4's 2025 plans, including seasonal updates, is forthcoming. However, the 2026 expansion will not be included in this roadmap. Fergusson stated, "In 2025, or just before Season 8, we will have a 2025 roadmap for Diablo 4. Our second expansion won't be on that roadmap, because our second expansion is coming in 2026."

The reasons for the delay weren't extensively detailed, but Fergusson alluded to challenges encountered with the "Vessel of Hatred" expansion. Initially planned for a 12-month release cycle, it ultimately launched 18 months after the game's release due to unforeseen circumstances. Responding to player feedback and adjusting live content necessitated diverting resources from "Vessel of Hatred," leading to its delay and a subsequent ripple effect on the release schedule of other content.

Diablo 4 recently launched its Season of Witchcraft, featuring new witchcraft abilities, a fresh questline, and more. The base game received a 9/10 rating, praised for its exceptional endgame and progression systems.
