Blizzard Entertainment has confirmed that no significant updates for Diablo 4 will occur until the launch of Season 10, with the company stating that only minor bug fixes will be implemented during Season 9. Adam Fletcher, Blizzard’s Director of Social and Content Marketing, made this announcement on social platform X in response to a player’s request for more updates. He clarified that the team is currently in a transition phase between seasons, adding that the next significant update would come during the public testing phase for Season 10.
Season 9, named Sins of the Horadrim, began on July 1, 2025, bringing new features like Horadric Spellcraft and Escalating Nightmares to enhance the endgame experience. However, community feedback has been mixed, raising concerns regarding technical issues and excessive focus on limited meta builds.
While Diablo 4 has not incorporated loot boxes or similar paid mechanics in its current content, Blizzard has faced scrutiny in the past for such features in previous titles, notably after a fine for failing to disclose loot boxes in Diablo Immortal. Despite this, the current season has focused solely on bug fixes, with no new gameplay elements introduced since its launch.
Looking ahead, Season 10 is expected to start around the end of September 2025, although an exact date has yet to be announced. This follows Blizzard’s previous roadmap which does not include further expansions for 2025; a new expansion is planned for release in 2026. Despite the concerns regarding the content rollout and fluctuating player numbers, Diablo 4 has maintained a steady core player base, with recent statistics noting a 24-hour peak of over 15,000 concurrent players on Steam.
Blizzard continues to engage with the community as they navigate this transition phase, and players remain hopeful for the upcoming Season 10 updates that may reinvigorate interest in the game.
