While the video game industry has rapidly evolved into something that always wants to be connected, it is a bit sad to see this news. Some might have hoped just for some confusion on the question, however, GameSpot followed up with a Blizzard representative and they confirmed that the new entry to the Diablo franchise will be online-only across all versions of the game, including PS4 and Xbox One. Diablo 3 had the ability to play offline on the console versions of the game. While this might not be a surprise to PC players since Diablo 3 required an internet connection at all times since its launch, console players might be a little disappointed. Campaign quest areas will remain private.' You can play solo and dungeons are private. But as I said before, nothing in Diablo 4 is going to require partying up. Per GameSpot, during a panel at Blizzcon, Angela Del Priore addressed a question about whether or not the game would support a full offline mode.ĭel Priore responded and stated: 'We are not going to support an offline mode. It looks like Diablo 4 will not be able to be played offline and will only feature an online mode.

While fans might be excited about the new entries, I might have some news that will disappoint some.

During BlizzCon 2019 just a few days ago, Blizzard announced some gargantuan games such as Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2.
