According to Kotaku editor Jason Schreier, Diablo 4 was originally scheduled to be announced after the Diablo Immortal presentation, but the developers gave up on this plan as soon as they heard the fan reactions.Īpparently, Diablo 4 has been in development for four years now, but the project has had quite a rough time as higher-ups at Blizzard decided to scratch plans a few times and also changed at least two directors in the process. However, it looks like things were not supposed to unfold this way at all. Fans of the Diablo franchise are not pleased, to say the least, and it looks like games like Path of Exile and Lost Ark have almost the entire ARPG market to themselves now.Įverybody was waiting for a Diablo 4 reveal, or at least some info on the state of the project, but Blizzard decided to surprise everyone with a mobile game.

Blizzard co-founder Allen Adham admitted that a video about a full-scale Diablo project was made, but it is still unclear if it depicts Diablo 4 or if it was meant to be presented at BlizzCon.ĭiablo Immortal might just be one of the biggest screw-ups in the history of gaming and does not need any further presentation. Blizzard officially denied these rumors, saying that 'we don't comment on rumors or speculation, but we can say that we didn’t pull any announcements from BlizzCon this year or have plans for other announcements.
