So I was totally hyped about Diablo 4 yesterday morning while eating breakfast. Grabbed my coffee and thought – let’s see when that rumored new class is dropping.
Where I Started Digging
First thing – went straight to Blizzard’s official forums like always. Scrolled through months of dev team posts using Ctrl+F like crazy searching for “class” and “release”.
Here’s exactly how it went down
- Found this June dev update where they said “no new classes at launch”
- Got super annoyed cause early leaks suggested otherwise
- Checked their Twitter – nothing solid just vague “stay tuned” replies
- Watched summer showcase videos frame by frame during lunch
My mouse finger was hurting bad at this point. Almost gave up til I remembered those quarterly investor reports nobody reads.
The Golden Nugget
Searched Blizzard financial PDFs with “Diablo” keywords. Boom! Page 27 had it:
- “Diablo 4 post-launch expansions” – with roadmap timings
- “Class variety additions” under Q2 2024 section
- They literally wrote “major archetype refresh” later that year
Felt like winning the lottery. Smashed my keyboard celebrating.
Key Takeaways
- No new classes for first six months – period
- First real class update seems tied to expansion
- Blizzard playing things crazy close to chest per usual
Truth is they’ve dropped zero specifics on class types. But my guild bet’s on spear class or dark paladin. What y’all thinking?
