Diablo IV: A Rollercoaster Journey Since Launch

Diablo IV, launched in June, received positive reviews, despite some players expressing dissatisfaction towards the game’s grindy endgame and its first season. Blizzard responded to these complaints with an apology and quick changes, leading to a better reception for the second season. With the game in a stable condition as 2023 wraps up, players eagerly anticipate Diablo IV’s first big expansion: Vessel of Hatred. This expansion, set to launch in “late 2024,” will introduce a new class and allow players to explore the jungle-covered world of Nahantu, a new playable region last featured in Diablo II.

How Much Will The DLC Cost?

Speculations about the cost of this DLC are rife, as Blizzard is currently trying to determine a suitable price point. A leaked survey sent to players about Diablo IV DLC pricing offers four potential DLC bundles priced at $50, $70, $80, and $100. Each package includes the expansion, along with different digital goodies and currencies. For instance, the suggested $100 package would include new “Hero Skins” for all classes, a unique non-horse mount with dynamic features, in-game premium currency, and a pair of cosmetic wings.

What's Included in the Higher-Priced Tiers?

Interestingly, not all of the higher-priced tiers include a premium battle pass or “early access” to the DLC, while some of the lower-priced tiers, which have fewer cosmetics, do include early access and seasonal battle passes. Some controversial benefits in these pricey Diablo IV DLC packages include extra stash space and early access to an NPC follower a season before non-paying players would have access.

Blizzard's Response to the Leaked Survey

Blizzard has been contacted about the leaked survey. However, it’s worth mentioning that the survey doesn’t explicitly state it’s about the recently announced Vessel of Hatred expansion. It seems very likely that’s what Blizzard is inquiring about in this leaked questionnaire, which is focused on future expansions and DLC.

Final Thoughts

While some of these potential benefits may seem unfair, such as charging extra for early access to NPC followers, remember that none of this is confirmed to be happening. This is merely Blizzard testing the waters, gathering player opinions, and using that data to make a decision. Therefore, the new Diablo IV expansion could cost less than these speculated prices and include different bonuses. Or it could cost even more. For now, all we can do is wait and see.
