Diablo 4 players concerned Season 3 could be “dead on arrival”

Diablo 4 Season 3 is nearly upon us but fans of the game are concerned about the lack of information. There’s speculation that it may receive the same positive reception as Season 2.

Diablo 4 Season of Blood is nearly at an end and we still only have snippets of information about Season 3. Thankfully, that should all be cleared up at the upcoming reveal stream for the next major content update of the game.

Season 2 was incredibly popular with players thanks to a number of changes implemented. It’s a massive improvement from the admittedly poor showing that was Diablo 4 Season 1.

Unfortunately, Blizzard’s silence on the next season has fans concerned that it may not reach the heights of its predecessor. A conversation on the Diablo 4 Subreddit, initially meant to gauge excitement for Season 3, ended up exposing the fanbase’s doubt.

How excited are you for season 3?

“I’m super cautious. Everything good about the game was due to feedback-inspired adjustments,” one user expressed. “Here we are, less than 10 days before the new season and we basically have zero info, which translates to zero feedback and zero mass testing.”

The idea that the lack of news surrounding the new season so close to its release could be a detriment to the health of the game is a popular sentiment. Some are even assuming that the quiet from Blizzard means that Season 3 could be “filler”.

“No itemization and aspect system changes = dead on arrival,” another player put forward confidently. “Season 4 will be a better time to come back.”

The mystery surrounding Season 3 may be an attempt from Blizzard to build excitement but Diablo 4’s shaky track record has players anxious. “I don’t mind being kept in the dark and surprised but the confidence in the devs is just not there yet,” explained another user.

Hopefully, a better idea of what’s in store for Diablo 4 Season 3 will put some of these concerns to rest. Devs have already promised to carry over some of the more popular changes from Season 2.

The season will be properly revealed in a Developer Stream on January 18, 2024, which airs at 9 AM PT.
