The Battle Pass recognizes players’ dedication, with greater rewards unlocking as you play more throughout the Season. Seasons will add all-new gameplay, quests, challenges, meta changes, and quality-of-life improvements. I’m grateful for the opportunity to finally share more with the community about our live service model. With all the exciting plans we have for Seasons, we want them to be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of whether they buy anything from the shop. Diablo IV will be supported by an army of developers for years to come. The scale of Diablo IV Seasons is much more ambitious than what we've done in the past on Diablo III, with a large development team dedicated to Seasons after launch. Our goal in designing our in-game purchases is that we want to create beautiful things which add value to players’ experience of the game. Premium cosmetics won't be systematically better cosmetics, just more diversity for the cosmetics you can find in-game and win through the free bp tier (the article shows example of free vs paid cosmetics)Īs we’ve discussed previously, Diablo IV will be a full-price game with a Cosmetics Shop and Battle Pass-none of which provide any pay-for-power options.Only way to get boosts is to complete in-game quests (aka play the game) You cannot buy these boosts even if you pay to unlock the entire BP.Free tier has some 'boosts' (example given was increase XP gained) which can be unlocked by doing specific in-game activity related to the theme and concepts of the season.You can pay premium currency (aka real $) to buy BP tiers if you want them right away vs grinding to get them.Usually on BP systems, if you pay for the premium tier you are able to win enough premium currency to get the next BP for free.Free tier also has premium currency in it, and currency can be used to buy cosmetics or future battle passes but nothing that provides in-game advantage.Free and Paid tiers of Battle Pass exist, but Paid Tier ONLY has cosmetics and premium currency.Seen a lot of confusion and speculation about 'P2W' and what Battle Pass is, but they've already been very transparent about that so I figured I'd post the info again and link to it here for those who weren't around or didn't read it when it came out.įWIW I think this entire article, not just the BP portion, is very informative about what to expect from the 'live' and 'seasonal' parts of the game.
