Blizzard published post on the official website of the game, where she indicated that Diablo 4 is coming out on Steam this month – 17 October. The launch of the game on Steam will be accompanied by the launch of the second season, on which the developers have high hopes, because over the past couple of months the game has managed to lose a fairly large share of players.
Diablo 4 will support cross-platform play, so users will have access to their progress, friends list, and other options from other platforms. You can find out more information from the official statement below.
The Gates of the Underworld opened again. A new generation of Lilith’s children is returning home.
Diablo IV isn’t just about slaying terrible monsters and hunting for powerful gear, it’s also about having fun with old friends and making new ones. We want to break down barriers so that travelers around the world can work together to defend Sanctuary.
We’re excited to announce that Diablo IV will be available on Steam starting October 17th! The Diablo IV page has already appeared on this platform, so you can add the game to your wishlist.
Diablo IV will continue to be available on Battle.net, as well as Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. For those already playing on those platforms, there’s no need to change or switch anywhere. And those who want to use Steam will need to first purchase the game on that platform and then link Diablo IV to a Battle.net account. This action is required regardless of what device you play on and what service you use. This way you can take advantage of all the cross-platform features. Players using Steam will have access to related features, including achievements, a friends list, and the ability to invite those friends to the game. We are ready to welcome new defenders of Sanctuary and look forward to your feedback.
And that is not all! The release of Diablo IV on Steam coincides with the start of the game’s 2nd season – the “Season of Blood”, which will bring with it a new quest chain, deadly vampire skills, 5 new bosses for the final stage of the game and more.
