Diablo franchise general manager Rod Fergusson is teasing a special Diablo 4 announcement that apparently will happen during this week's developer livestream.

Blizzard is hosting a Diablo 4 developer update this Thursday, April 20, and it's now been revealed that it'll be a whopping 90 minutes long with details about the endgame, beta learnings regarding classes and dungeons, and more.

Last week we learned specifics about exactly what changes are being made to Diablo 4 based on feedback from the beta. The changes are extensive and wide-ranging, from class balancing to dungeon design to UI, but apparently there's still more to be discussed. A lot more, it would seem.

In the above tweet, Diablo community manager Adam Fletcher teases a "big" show for Thursday, promising a lengthy deep-dive into key aspects of Diablo 4. And in a quote tweet, Fergusson hypes up the event even more, playfully teasing what sounds like a fairly significant announcement.

Diablo 4 fans are, of course, irresponsibly speculative about what could be revealed during the show. Some think it'll be a new class, specifically the Paladin class, and others think Blizzard could push the early access period forward to May, and others still think there could be another beta focusing on the endgame.

If you want to tune in to the Diablo 4 livestream, and it sounds like you will want to, you can head to Blizzard's official Twitch or YouTube channels this Thursday at 11am PDT / 2pm EDT / 7pm BST.

Here are some other great games like Diablo to play while you wait for Diablo 4's June 6 release date (and maybe beyond that!).
