Blizzard's Diablo 4 is teasing "corruption" in its upcoming Developer Livestream, possibly hinting that something new will be announced during the live event. Most of the player base have been waiting to watch the Diablo 4 Developer Livestream, especially since it will tackle the game's Season 1 in more detail. However, this new teaser may offer something else that fans have not been expecting.
A lot has happened for Diablo 4 since it was launched and fans seem to be clinging onto everything that the developers have been saying about its post-release content. Though Blizzard has been incredibly secretive about Diablo 4 DLC or expansions, the team still keeps the players up to date, especially when it comes to issues that they have been encountering while playing. Now that the Developer Livestream is happening soon, it seems like the perfect time to drop big content updates, aside from revealing when exactly fans will get to experience the title's Season 1.
On Twitter, the Diablo 4 team reconfirmed the schedule of its second Developer Livestream, which will happen on July 6, 2023, at 11:00 AM PDT. However, the devs did so with a short video that features the map of Sanctuary slowly being covered by what looks like black ink. The end tag of the footage states, "Corruption is spreading," which might indicate that something new and sinister that is set to happen in the game will be announced during the livestream. However, no exact details about this "corruption" seems to have been revealed by the team anywhere.
Diablo's General Manager Rob Fergusson also chimed in on Twitter, humorously saying it might be him that is the corruption coming to Diablo 4. The roster of Blizzard executives featured in the upcoming Developer Livestream did not originally include Fergusson, but his tweet shows that he will pop up to discuss Diablo 4's Season 1, among other things. Given the sudden change in the line-up, this makes it more believable that something big is going to be revealed, so fans should definitely try to catch the live event to get first dibs on the news.
Even if the development team did not share the new teaser, many in the Diablo 4 player base would probably have tuned into the second Developer Livestream. The first one was full of information, answering a lot of questions that the community had about the future of the game. Hopefully the fans will get more than what they asked for when they watch the livestream.
