about Diablo 5Developing a new chapter, Blizzard reports returning Level scaling system is closer to Diablo 2 than Diablo 4thus referencing one of the most beloved classic chapters in the series.
During BlizzCon, game director Joe Shely revealed that Blizzard is aware of a common desire among players of the series, namely feel powerfuland the level adaptation system in Diablo 4 (and 3) somehow betrays this feeling.
The last two chapters of this series feature an experience level adjustment system, i.e. Automatically adapt to the protagonist: In short, in the current system, there is not much difference between the player’s level and the enemy’s level, even when returning to an area that has been visited for a long time, there will not be much difference, because at the same time, the enemy’s level has been increased to adapt to the protagonist’s level.
Player’s will to power
While this is a fairly common approach in action RPGs, it is not ideal for many users of the Diablo series, as many fans of the classic series prefer a return to less obvious autoscaling, thus maintaining The level difference is even greater.
“In many ways, Diablo is a game where your character gets stronger,” Shelly explains, but the feeling should be more obvious: “You’ve filled up the experience bar, you’re become strongernow you should feel amazing: a wave of light radiates from your body, and a group of monsters are dead. ” He explained very directly.
BlizzCon 2026 is Blizzard’s second chance to ask fans
“Sometimes autoscaling can hinder that feeling,” Shely added. “It’s very important to the game, which is why it’s a very important issue. So in Diablo 5, we’re going to take a slightly different approach to solving this problem.”
The issue isn’t fully settled yet, but Blizzard seems to be leaning toward drawing more inspiration from the systems used in Diablo 2, arguing that the Diablo 5 reference is more consistent than the other chapters, even in other contexts.
Blizzard has previously stated Item system and loot Some of Diablo 5’s features, including more sophisticated inventory management, actually took inspiration from Diablo 2.
Blizzard announced the Netflix animated series Diablo 5 and the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Diablo 4 during the recent BlizzCon 2026. In Diablo 5, we saw new categories and details about the story and its world.
