In an interview by PC Gamer, Joe Piepiora from Activision Blizzard revealed that gamers would need to invest their time and resources in playing the game. This is particularly for the Battle Pass and character-level progression in the upcoming "Diablo 4."

The Associate Game Director claimed that it will take them as much as 80 hours to complete the Battle Pass alone and that taking the character to level 100 will take much longer, based on how they play the game.

Gamers need to earn "favors" to progress their passes, its version of points for the BP.

Good thing is that when one is progressing their battle passes, their leveling up in the game would join alongside it.

However, this statement from the game executive means that "Diablo 4" will not be a walk in the park, one that would take up gamers' time and effort to complete.

Spend Hours to Progress on 'Diablo 4' When it Drops

According to ComicBook Gaming, "Diablo 4" will be a game that features a different experience compared to the old games from the series. It will center more on the online components that expand more of this open world, with the live features helping deliver more content and elements that spice up the experience.

"Diablo 4" is dropping globally by June 6, available on the PC, Xbox Series S and X, and the PS4 and PS5 consoles.

'Diablo' Franchise and Activision Blizzard

Blizzard Entertainment's "Diablo" is one of the most alluring RPGs of the present, giving gamers a significant mythical action in different character classes and experiences that aims to evolve from the usual RPG. "Diablo 4" is coming after significant delays to its development, including the famed Microsoft and Activision Blizzard merger now.

The game is now in its early access beta program after initially offering the closed beta to gamers.

It will soon let gamers choose among the five classes present to build one's character, centering on the Barbarian, the Druid, the Necromancer, the Rogue, and the Sorcerer. These base characters will be what gamers will start with, and use to grind their way toward the many quests, stories, events, and other experiences in the game.

With everything set out and only awaiting the release, the latest developments on "Diablo" is now unfolding, particularly with the recent interview with Piepora. While it may take gamers a long time before they can complete the battle pass or level up their characters to 100, the game promises it to be worth their while, especially in more than endless hours of gameplay with the live components.
