Even after the great Vessel of Hatred expansion and several seasons of content since then, with more to come after, the game is far from being finished. Diablo 4 will continue its live-service schedule with new stuff to look forward to for some time to come.

Blizzard Entertainment recently revealed a full roadmap of content what to expect in Diablo 4 throughout 2025 and 2026, and the game will likely continue on past that for several more years before the eventual Diablo 5 sequel.

Here’s everything we know about Diablo 4’s roadmap in 2025 and 2026.
