While Blizzard was at one time planning a Diablo MMO, it seems that this is no longer happening. In an interview with Kotaku, lead content designer Kevin Martens said that there were no more discussions about that project. He continued by saying:
“It was a really interesting idea back when we were into it, but I think Diablo has a really strong fantasy on its own. Having a thousand people playing it with you on a server doesn’t dramatically increase it. We’ve learned to love the smaller, more focused party experience of four people. And some people are like, ‘Why don’t you do five?’ I mean, we could, but kinda built the game around four people in mind. So the temptation of expanding the social circle has fallen by the wayside as we learned more about what we enjoy about Diablo.”
Do you agree with Martens or do you think that a Diablo MMO could work? Let us know in the comments.
