Senior vice president and general manager of the Diablo franchise Rod Fergusson says the team has big plans for Sony's PlayStation 5 Pro, confirming that an enhanced version of Diablo 4 will be available on the new console. The news comes as Diablo 4 fans anticipate the release of the game's Vessel of Hatred expansion, which will also be available on the PS5 Pro.
Diablo 4 was released back in 2023, becoming the fourth mainline entry in Blizzard's legendary action RPG franchise. The game managed to utilize the classic Diablo formula while ushering in several new gameplay tweaks, features, and graphical improvements that helped modernize the newest entry in the renowned ARPG series. Diablo 4 has continued to feel new and fresh thanks to seasonal content, with the game set to debut its biggest upgrade yet with its Vessel of Hatred expansion. Ahead of this highly anticipated release, Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson has some good news for those planning on picking up a PS5 Pro.
Diablo 4 Reveals New Skills and Passives for All Classes
Blizzard reveals an important change to Diablo 4's classes, and details what players can expect from the new skills and passives.
In a Twitter response to a fan, Fergusson announced Diablo 4 and the game's upcoming Vessel of Hatred expansion would be available on the PS5 Pro. “I’ve been getting this question quite a bit recently,” said Fergusson. "I’m happy to say that Diablo 4 and Vessel of Hatred will indeed be PS5 Pro Enhanced." Sony unveiled the PS5 Pro earlier this year, revealing the new specifications and capabilities of the much-rumored premium console. Along with faster memory, the PS5 Pro will also ship with a bigger GPU and better ray tracing capabilities, making it an alluring product for gamers wanting to get the most out of the home console experience.
Enhanced Version of Diablo 4 Coming to PS5 Pro
It's unknown what kind of enhancements are in store for Diablo 4, but it seems like the team is keeping PS5 Pro users in mind as the game's new content inches closer to release. Diablo 4's Vessel of Hatred expansion ushers in a new era for the game and the franchise in general. Alongside new items and weapons for players to collect, the expansion will also introduce fans to a brand-new class called Spiritborn. Vessel of Hatred will also add new monsters, dungeons, and strongholds for players to conquer, as well as new characters to interact with and storylines to explore.
Diablo 4 enjoyed a successful launch back in 2023, though the inclusion of the game on Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass service certainly helped boost the overall player count. Diablo 4 was one of several games to be made available on Microsoft's monthly subscription-based service as the result of the company's multi-billion dollar acquisition of Activision Blizzard in 2023, and it was the first Diablo game to ever be offered on Game Pass. Players will still need to purchase the Vessel of Hatred separately if they wish to play through the new expansion, which will be officially released on October 8, 2024.
