While Diablo 4 was released this June to critical acclaim and achieved huge sales,it seems the game’s staying power isn’t as impressive. As more players complete the main story and reach the end-game, they seem to lose interest, even with Blizzard’s seasonal format. Is Diablo 4 in trouble? This seems to be the case — at least in South Korea, as the “State of Diablo 4 Event that recently took place was met with a thud than a loud bang.

The event had barely any people attendance, and one of the streamers who was live-streaming was asked to stop when he inquired about the low turnout.

Check out images of the event and marvel at the empty rows of seats.

Diablo 4 live event in Korea

Per Reddit user  jinjin5000, the livestream didn’t fare that well either, as it barely managed to hit a peak of 300 concurrent watchers on the official Diablo channel.

The thing to note here is that Blizzard is quite popular in South Korea, with their games being played for extended periods. Diablo series in particular has enjoyed significant success in the region. So, the recent decline in interest is indeed surprising.

This event was discussed on Reddit, where players pointed to the lack of end-game content as the reason for the game’s drop in popularity. If the lack of content is the problem, then this might be short-lived, as Diablo 4 Season 2 titled “Season of Blood” is coming next month. Furthermore, Blizzard has announced annual expansions, which promise to deliver new content to players.

Blizzard would certainly be hoping to entice players back into the game with these new additions, but whether the content will meet players’ expectations remains to be seen. For now however, things are not looking too good for Diablo 4 especially in South Korea.
