Diablo 5 is taking a very different approach from Diablo 4, and Blizzard is already revealing what it learned. At BlizzCon 2026, I sat down with Diablo V Senior Game Director Joe Shely and Senior Art Director John Mueller to dig deeper into Blizzard’s plans for the next Diablo. We discuss Diablo 5’s procedural world, its “complete” endgame philosophy, the return of traditional gear sets, Diablo 2-inspired itemization, loot filters, the overlay map, solo vs. group play, the new caravan system, and much more. We also get into some of the bigger-picture changes: Diablo V separating your character’s appearance and background from their class, dramatically expanding character customization, Blizzard’s shift toward building the game alongside community feedback, and how Diablo 4 will continue to be supported even while Diablo 5 is in development.
