In the meantime you should read up on the Diablo IV Gold classes, because they're the ones we'll be playing as primarily. In an interview with gaming director Joe Shely, however, it was mentioned that the roster may expand as well. After all, nothing lasts forever in Sanctuary.

The primary developers behind Diablo 4 have stressed that they do not want players to "feel like they can pay to win" when the game goes on sale next year.

In the recent Diablo 4 livestream(opens in new tab), game director Joe Shely, along with the game's associate director Joesph Pipiora as well as community manager Adam Fletcher gave fans an update on all things Diablo 4, as well as gave an insight into the process prior to the game's release next summer.

During the livestream in the chat, the trio talked about how to play the Diablo 4 battle pass (around the 39:15 mark in the video below) as well as the coming seasons of the game. "It's really, really important for us to ensure that we are balancing what you'd see within the Battle Pass" Piepiora told the crowd, "the way that they're compelling but still very fair. We do not want to have any situations where players are able to feel that they're being forced to pay. "To draw a clear line from the Battle Pass and the seasons in Diablo 4, Piepiora explained that "the season's story is still present in Diablo 4, in the way that it was when you played Diablo 3." The chapter-based mechanic gives players numerous goals as they progress through the season and will let players to earn game-related rewards in exchange for the characters they play. "All of the content for the season is totally free. It's not part of the battle pass," Shely adds.

In order to make it clear what's going on, Shely clarified that in the event that Diablo 4 launches on June 6 2023, 2023, it will not start immediately with season one. "Season one will launch weeks after the launch of the game. And at the time that season one begins the game will begin at the same time, everyone will have an even competition," the developer said. The competitive features of Diablo 4 (e.g. leader boards) are likely to be available in the coming seasons and those who do not purchase early access to buy Diablo 4 Gold the game won't have to worry about any unfairness.
