But in reality Blizzard put the spotlight on Diablo Immortal, a game that it was not developing internally but collaborating with an external studio known for standard, not-that-great mobile fare - NetEase.Īfter playing Diablo Immortal I'm okay with it being a stop-gap in the lead-up to Diablo 4. Instead of stating 'multiple projects are in the works' Blizzard should have released a teaser for Diablo 4, in much the same way Bethesda did with The Elder Scrolls 6 after announcing Elder Scrolls Blades for mobile. Where there weren't necessarily in response to Diablo Immortal's content, and the cinematic trailer was pretty cool, but in response to hyper surrounding the potential reveal of a Diablo 4 announcement or even a remaster/remake of Diablo 2.Īt the very least, Diablo Immortal should not have closed out BlizzCon in front of an audience that have enjoyed and loved Blizzard experiences primarily on the PC platform. To call the response negative would also be an understatement, with both the Diablo Immortal cinematic and gameplay trailers garnering hundreds of thousands of down-votes. It quickly became the most talked about thing in the world of games for a few days based on the simple fact that Diablo fans were expecting the announcement of a brand-new PC and console title and not a mobile-only Diablo experience. However if someone wanted to know if they should post their D:I feedback in the D3 forums or if there were a better place to do so, then I would gladly point them to reddit, since there’s a far greater chance of their feedback reaching the D:I developers than it is here.To say that the announcement of mobile MMO action-RPG Diablo Immortal didn't go down well at BlizzCon this past weekend would be the understatement of the year. But even if that is the case, I doubt they do it very often especially with how little D:I feedback there is here (note I’m not talking about the D:I threads that either diss or praise D:I).Īll in all, I don’t necessarily care about folks wanting to discuss D:I here. That said, there’s always the possibility (albeit unlikely imo), that the developers simply search the D3 forums for D:I feedback without logging in, and thus see the possible feedback. Hence why I said that I’m not sure the D:I developers check the D3 forums for feedback, since we hadn’t even seen a blue post from them pertaining to D:I. That makes sense since Blizzard has said to have D:I discussion on subreddit where PezRadar is active discussing D:I.
