Diablo 4 does not have an offline mode, as the game requires an internet connection to play. You must be connected to the Diablo 4 servers all at times.

While this isn’t great news for players looking to strike down hordes of monsters on the move, or for those with a ropey internet connection, it’s been a known decision for some time now. This also means we won’t be seeing any Diablo 4 mods anytime soon, sadly.
