The completion of Diablo 4’s battle pass should take roughly 80 hours, according to Blizzard. In a recent group interview with PC Gamer, associate game director Joe Piepiora explained how much seasonal material players can expect from the Diablo 4 battle pass.
Piepiora said –
“Right now, the battle pass, when you’re figuring in completing the season journey alongside doing other content in the game, you’re looking at roughly 80 hours worth of time invested to complete the entirety of the battle pass.”
“To level a character to level 100 could take a little longer than that based on how you play.”
Obviously, all of this is in addition to the primary campaign, side quests, and more than 150 dungeons you’ll have to traverse in the base game.
What is the release date for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection? It will consist of all ten main Mega Man Battle Network titles:
Piepiora also stated that he doesn’t expect Diablo 4 to consume your entire life – just until you’ve attained max level and are satisfied with tinkering with your build.
He said –
“One thing I do want to make sure it’s really clear is we’re not trying to create a situation where players feel that they must play forever.”
“We want players who play Diablo 4 to play and enjoy the experience while they’re playing the game.”
“We want you to get to a certain point, once you’ve reached level 100, where you’ve got 220 of these paragon points you’re playing with, you have all of your skill points that you’ve already assigned to your character, and you’ve got your legendary and unique items, and now it’s about configuring the board exactly the way that you want.”
In a separate interview, Piepiora revealed that Diablo 4’s quarterly seasonal updates will include new story content. However, franchise head Rod Fergusson subsequently clarified that certain individuals were “misinterpreting” the information.
The seasonal narrative content will apparently consist solely of “new quest lines that help to provide context to new seasonal mechanics – not a new campaign.”
