Diablo 4 will be always-online, will not feature an offline mode


Blizzard has confirmed that Diablo 4 will not have an offline mode, and will require a constant Internet connection. Blizzard claimed that the game features a shared open world, and that it will be always-online.

Of course this shouldn’t come as a surprise. After all, we’ve seen lately a trend with Activision’s triple-A games requiring a constant Internet connection. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, for instance, does not let you play the game – even its single-player campaign – in offline mode. The game constantly requires an Internet connection via Battlenet, and Diablo 4 will be a similar case.

Diablo 4 promises to deliver visceral combat, gruesome and varied monsters. It will also pack an epic hunt for legendary loot, as well as endless playability and progression. Players will find a lifetime’s worth of adventure scattered across a land rooted in unique ecologies and inhabited by dangerous new foes. They’ll delve into randomized dungeons packed with unpredictable adversaries and unimaginable treasures.

Now while the game will be always-online, it will support both solo and coordinated party play. The game will also provide opportunities for groups of players to encounter each other in the same shared world.

There is currently no ETA on when the game will come out, though Blizzard stated that it won’t release anytime soon!
