Turns out the game is always-online

Just like the game before it. Which also had tacky micro-transactions.

I'll let you guess what Diablo 5 will be like.

The only modes you have to be connected to the internet to play are the multiplayer and seasonal shit. The single player campaign is entirely offline in the normal, default mode.

offline solo is only for consoles.
