In its latest quarterly update, Blizzard has given details for Diablo IV‘s post-launch monetization. The action RPG is coming out next year for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

This is a tricky prospect for Blizzard. It’s last release, the free-to-play Diablo Immortal, drew ire for its microtransactions. Players especially dislike having to spend money to have a chance to earn items that increase their power, which can give them a distinct advantage in game modes like player-vs.-player content.
