diablo immortal announcement at blizzcon

Here’s a brief history of how things unfolded: Before BlizzConĪ couple weeks ahead of BlizzCon, Blizzard posted what some believed to be a cryptic blog post about Diablo at their event, which left an announcement in doubt.

That is, until the recent 2018 BlizzCon, the annual event that brings together the hardcore community to celebrate all things Blizzard. Blizzard Entertainment has created an original intellectual property (IP) for mobile, such as the card game Heartstone, but the company never made an announcement for a cornerstone (and traditionally hardcore) property like Diablo. Diablo is generally one of the most popular game series ever developed, a bloody, gothic action role-playing game developed first for PCs in 1996, later on receiving ports for consoles.

If you’re a gamer or a game developer, there’s a very good chance you’ve heard about the backlash southern California-headquartered Activision-Blizzard is dealing with after the poorly-received announcement of the mobile-only Diablo Immortal game at BlizzCon 2018.
