Is Blizzard Testing the Future of Delves?

The introduction of the console might be more than just a one-patch feature. It could be a testbed for how Blizzard plans to evolve Delves as a core system in Midnight and beyond. By adding a layered, progression-based system inside a tougher delve mode, Blizzard may be exploring how to scale Delves to endgame-level content, possibly even approaching Mythic+ territory in future expansions.
