Activision Blizzard’s hotly anticipated upcoming game “Diablo IV,” which is projected to release sometime in 2023, will have no pay-to-win mechanics, and only cosmetic items will be available in its in-game store, the company announced Thursday.
“Diablo IV’s” in-game store, referred to simply as the Shop, will feature a variety of alternative appearance skins for armor and weapons. Players will be able to use individual transmog pieces from an armor set to create a personalized look for their characters, similar to “World of Warcraft’s” transmogrification system. Transmogs can be purchased using “Diablo IV’s” premium currency, which can be bought using real-world dollars or earned through grinding the game’s Season Pass for rewards.
Blizzard Entertainment Senior Director of Global PR Christy Um confirmed all purchasable in-game items are purely superficial and won’t confer any gameplay advantages.“Purchased items are cosmetic only,” Um wrote in an email to The Washington Post. “Cosmetics do not impact gameplay. Therefore, players cannot pay for power.”“Diablo IV’s” Director of Product Kegan Clark described the Store as optional, emphasizing that the coolest transmogs in the game won’t be locked behind a paywall.
“The best-looking cosmetics aren’t exclusive to the Shop,” Clark wrote in the “Diablo IV” quarterly update. “There are incredible pieces — Unique and Legendary quality items — for players to find without ever going to the Shop. The Shop offers more diversity of choices, not systematically better choices.”
Clark also mentioned the “Diablo IV” team will be continuously engaging with players for feedback on the Shop and the Season Pass.All in all, this is a remarkably different monetization model from the latest Diablo title, the mobile game “Diablo Immortal.” Players have lambasted “Diablo Immortal” for its microtransaction system, which some have criticized as. The end game of every Diablo title has always been about optimizing your character as much as possible by grinding for the best gear.
