Planning for the near future is always wise when you're behind one of gaming's biggest franchises, but Diablo 4 producer and series manager Rod Fergusson has taken things a few steps further.
As part of an ongoing chain interview on Game File, Fergusson reveals that he and the team recently sat down to do some "long-range planning" with regards to Diablo.
"We're here for the long haul," he says. "I've created a roadmap — a 10-year roadmap... it was actually a 12-year [roadmap] — I can see this, this, this and this and all these different things that we can do, [which] is really inspiring."

At this point, it's worth noting that Diablo 4 is fast approaching its second anniversary, having launched in June 2023. It's widely believed that Blizzard will keep the action RPG ticking for years to come — as it did with Diablo 3 — but it goes without saying that a full decade is still a long period of time to properly consider.
"It's really exciting. We’re focused on what players want... I can’t tell you much more than that," Fergusson adds.
Diablo 4 itself has had plenty of ups and downs since its aforementioned 2023 release. Just last week, the reveal of a rather vague 2025 roadmap had some players questioning the developer's commitment, and so we're sure that Fergusson's comments will be scrutinised as well.
