Plus, a number of people in the BlizzCon audience clearly were into Immortal.

I can wait for Diablo IV or Diablo II HD or whatever it is Blizzard are up to, and Blizzard say their teams are separate anyway. With more amazing games in the world than I will ever have time to play, the existence of a game I simply don't want to play means little to me. A publicly-traded megacorp are turning a multisquillion-dollar series into a mobile game I won't play, and so what? I don't care. 'ĭiablo Immortal clearly isn't the game many Diablans would like to see, but I can't get onboard with those outraged by its existence. The truth is that we have multiple Diablo teams working on multiple unannounced Diablo projects even after announcing. I know our community here, there's a concern that we are focused on this instead of that. 'That's something we tried to communicate. 'There are actually two distinct teams,' Adham told Kotaku. He explained that one team is working with Chinese developers NetEase on Diablo Immortal while other folks pursue other projects, so the mobile game is not the sum of Blizzard's current Diablo efforts. I hope they won't do that.īlizzard repeated the point on stage during an Immortal session at BlizzCon, and co-founder Allen Adham got into it more in an interview with Kotaku.

I don't want to play a Diablo mobile game so I simply shan't play Diablo Immortal, though going by some people's reactions I might have missed Blizzard vowing to kick my dad's teeth out and force-feed me them if I don't play it for five hours every day. Blizzard had warned beforehand that they weren't ready to talk about all their Diablo projects and that BlizzCon's Diablo news would not be 'what many of you are hoping for', and indeed it was not. Blizzard have repeated that they have multiple teams work on multiple Diablo things, keeping hope alive for Diablo 4, following Friday's announcement of unexciting mobile game Diablo Immortal.
