The producer of "Dark 4" says that this work still has development potential. Is the Paladin coming?

The eighth season of "Diablo 4" has been launched, and the new boss character has received a good price, while the new Sanctuary War Order system, season reward mechanism, etc. have caused controversy.Recently, foreign media Windows Central interviewed Deric Nunez and Colin Finer, producers of Diablo 4, and discussed their thinking on the season and future development directions.

The reporter said that some players think that the battle of the boss in Dark 4 has become too simple, while others complain that the process of unlocking rewards such as season pets is too cumbersome.In response, Colin Finer responded: "We are committed to restoring the core experience of the Dark Series: upgrade, challenge bosses, get rewards, and continue to challenge stronger bosses. In the seventh season, as players' strength increases and resources expand, we found that the original rhythm was destroyed. Therefore, in the eighth season, we removed the economic threshold for some boss challenges and appropriately increased the difficulty of bosses. Now you can test your strength at any time."

Finer continued: "We are not against players who can eventually kill bosses, as long as the process itself is satisfactory. After all, Darkness is a game about power fantasy, and Season 8 even introduced the gameplay of drawing power from bosses and transforming into bosses. But we don't want players to become vulnerable when they first enter the torture difficulty, which will make the reward lose its due value."

The producers stressed that they don't want Diablo 4 rewards to become cheap, but they won't make the game experience too difficult either.The team is always committed to finding a balance between challenges and reward.

The reporter asked whether a new Paladin profession would be launched. Finer and Nunez did not respond directly, but admitted: "We agree that Diablo 4 still has many unexplored potential. In the eighth season, we tried many new systems and optimizations. We are full of expectations for the expansion pack that will be launched in 2026. I believe players will like it, and there are still many new content worth looking forward to in the future."
