![]() So it seemed they were more interested in bringing different players into the franchise, instead of appeasing the already existing ones. I know Blizzard doesn't like to showcase things that aren't ready, they still remember the Diablo3 presentation back in 07 or 08, just some screenshots without gameplay video, and people were mad because of the graphics.but I would say that majority of Diablo players didn't really want the Immortal, and have little plans to buy it. The problem was revealing a mobile Diablo game as if that was what we were all waiting for! We all know there's a PC/consoles Diablo game in the works, that was not the problem. ![]() So how much is a breach of an nda these days?

So fans Diablo still no one broke off)) Comment by Angelshifter on T22:36:46-06:00 Wow.Diablo 4? That's a big deal! Hype! Comment by he1r0 on T22:27:25-06:00 What I did not anticipate is for my news source to link to another "news source" that is nothing but click-bait of what is possibly Blizzard doing customer placation. I come to WoWhead for news because I trust WoWhead. Sure, the news is interesting, but the format is awful. This is written like a gossip magazine column. (We’ve heard it’s gone through at least two different iterations under different directors.)Īccording to Kotaku, Blizzard did not have any commentary on this.Ĭomment by 13bloodwork on T21:32:00-06:00 One of those people told me that the Diablo team wasn’t yet ready to commit to an announcement, as Diablo 4 has changed drastically over the past four years and may continue to change further. Blizzard changed its BlizzCon plans for Diablo at some point in the last couple of weeks, those people familiar with goings-on at Blizzard said. The reactions could have been very different. There were a few reasons for the controversy, but the driving factor was that the company’s sole Diablo announcement was a game that appeared to be made for a very different audience than hardcore Diablo fans. For most of the weekend, Diablo fans raged online as a result, expressing their anger on YouTube and various forums. Instead, at last Friday’s keynote, Blizzard revealed Diablo Immortal to a quiet, uncomfortable crowd and then ended the show. The original plan for BlizzCon 2018, according to two people familiar with Blizzard’s plans, was for Blizzard to announce the mobile game Diablo Immortal and then end on a video in which company co-founder Allen Adham told the audience that a proper Diablo 4 was in development but not ready to show just yet. Hopefully knowing that Diablo 4 is in development - and has been for a while, in various forms, under different directors - helps comfort any of you who were worried that the series was going mobile-only or something.- Jason Schreier November 5, 2018Īccording to the article written by Jason over at Kotaku, the reason the announcement would have been pulled is that, thanks to Diablo changing drastically over the last four years (including going through 2 directors!), there was no demo ready in time for BlizzCon. So, yes, I can confirm there's a new PC Diablo coming. It was already known that Blizzard would not make any big announcements for Diablo during BlizzCon, but the sole announcement of a mobile game made the fans go into outcry mode. I apologize for any misinformation: /zML9sQgkSn- Jason Schreier November 6, 2018 What's in dispute here is the planned timing. I can confirm that the Allen Adham video was made, and that D4 is in development. UPDATE: Blizzard disputes that a Diablo 4 announcement was pulled from BlizzCon. Jason Schreier can still confirm that the video was made and D4 is still in development-just not that the video was for BlizzCon. However, according to Jason Scheirer, editor at Kotaku, Blizzard had plans to announce Diablo 4 during BlizzCon, but the announcement was pulled at the last minute.Įdit: Blizzard disputes that a video was made for BlizzCon and pulled. Diablo die-hard fans were not happy with the announcement of Diablo Immortal, a mobile game with no PC support, at BlizzCon.
