Elon Musk: A Notorious Gamer in the Tech Industry
Known for his prominence in the tech world, Elon Musk has long been recognized as a passionate gamer. He particularly enjoys action role-playing games (ARPGs) like Path of Exile 2 and Diablo, despite having previously referred to himself as a “casual” player. Within the gaming community, Musk is most famously associated with Diablo 4—a title he often shares personal achievements from and has even been regarded as one of the top players in the world for a brief period.
Recent Developments in Diablo 4
Recently, Blizzard announced a roadmap for new content development for Diablo 4, including major expansions and events scheduled for release in 2025 and subsequent years. However, it seems that Elon Musk has expressed some skepticism about this roadmap.
In a recent tweet response, Musk addressed questions about the potential release of Diablo 5. He even suggested that Diablo 4 might currently be running on a rather outdated engine.
This statement immediately sparked controversy within the gaming community. Many believe that Musk has overstepped in his evaluation and lacks insight when discussing a game that has just been released for less than two years. Numerous gamers have voiced concerns about Diablo 4, emphasizing that the game’s engine is still functioning well, and it is not as outdated as Musk claims.
Previously, Blizzard hinted that there would not be a prolonged gap between the future installments of the Diablo series, unlike the 11-year wait between Diablo 3 and Diablo 4. However, with the lengthy support roadmap already confirmed for Diablo 4, the likelihood of Diablo 5 launching in the next few years remains quite slim.
