"The train isn't stopping," he continued. "One of the things that I love
about our world is we're not a series of games. We are a universe. We are
even adding to Diablo 2 with that of the Warlock. It's one of the few franchises where we have the luxury to continue to play, and we know our communities are there multiple communities that make us a whole."

Gibson reiterated that if you're a fan and you're worried, "don't sweat it," because even though the team is excited about Diablo 5 , "we're going to be making content for a long time" and "we've got a lot of things coming," including the Netflix adaptation.
