First, keep in mind that unlike Overwatch 2, which aims to make it as easy as possible for players to migrate from the original economy to the new one, Diablo 4 is not a free-to-play game, but an exhaustive supply of games sold at classic prices. Possibly many years.
As Diablo 3 has already done, Diablo 4 will thus be entitled to a season system that will begin immediately after the game’s release, and a dedicated team will be dedicated to delivering four seasons each year. These seasons will bring new features, quests, enemies, legendary items and other live events, but we can also remember that it will be “Unable to pay power-ups in Diablo 4‘, in the team’s own words.
The same commitment applies to the cosmetic store and season pass system.The store will not use any kind of technology loot box and will preview each purchase. “To avoid unpleasant surprises, players must know exactly what awaits them after a purchase.“, we can read. Optionally, the store will allow access to decorations in exchange for premium currency.
After the game launches, a large development team will be dedicated to the season. It’s fair to say that an army of developers will be working on Diablo 4 for the next few years.

If the store wasn’t new and didn’t exist at the time of Diablo 3, it was the season pass system. Note that the latter will include free rewards (decoration items, premium currency, XP gain increases) as well as paid rewards (decoration items and premium currency for the store).
“Throughout the pass, player characters can earn various rewards for free, just for playing.At any time during the season, they can purchase the Premium Pass to unlock the ability to earn premium rewards that include cosmetic items and premium currency“Can we read?
We should add that the concept of Season Journeys in Diablo 3 will return, and completing its objectives (for free) will allow you to progress faster in the rewards of the Season Pass. All explanations can be found in the quarterly report, which does its best to paint a portrait far removed from the Diablo controversy.
