While we might not yet know when Diablo 4 is set to release, it would appear that the folks working on the game are being surprisingly transparent about its development. More specifically, the team took a moment recently to clarify some things and address community questions, and that includes some concern that Elective Mode -- where folks can swap skills around to whatever slot they like -- wouldn't return.

More specifically, the issue traces back to the Diablo 4 demo at BlizzCon, which apparently did not support swapping skills around like Diablo 3. But according to the developers, this was just an issue of this being, you know, a demo, and not reflective of the final product.

"There’s a misconception that Diablo IV will lock skills to specific slots because of the BlizzCon demo user interface," David Kim, Diablo 4's Lead Systems Designer, recently shared in a new blog post. "Like many other things in the demo, the UI is not final and we will support Elective Mode-style skill selection. Skill selection and assignment will always be completely open for all players."
