Diablo 4 has been in a bit of a lull lately - that is, if it ever hasn't been since its rocky launch. Season 1 has been underwhelming and hardcore players have already exhausted its content. While players are waiting for the arrival of Season 2, many are discussing the possibility of a sixth class within Diablo 4 as a way to inject much needed novelty into the stumbling title.
Even before launch there's been speculation about a sixth class, but most recently user SheWhoHates on the Diablo 4 subreddit asked players if they think that Blizzard "initially planned 6 classes at launch?" The post has gotten hundreds of replies with many gamers believing that Blizzard planned more classes but these would be released as part of the expansion.
"Of course they did. It's the paladin for the expansion," user Mejormayor said. Many of the previous rumors point towards a Paladin or Holy Knight class being added to the game. Players speculate that a Sword or Spear and Shield class would be implemented.
