Blizzard took to Twitter and released a video on YouTube hinting at big news for Diablo coming at Blizzcon, with multiple projects in the works. There was a lot of excitement surrounding Diablo‘s presence at this year’s event as well. It totally looks like something genuine work was put into and not at all a copy paste job of another of NetEase’s mobile games. Especially since every other game there had a fine showing, it was like salt in the wounds. That regardless of any premise or quality of the actual title (the lack of which I’ll get to in a second), the fact that it’s been 4 years for a phone game instead of a proper title was going to result in nothing but indignant rage. So it should not have come as much of a surprise that bringing only a mobile game spinoff to Blizzcon, Blizzard’s premier event to discuss all current and upcoming titles, was not going to go over well with anyone. Whether Diablo 4, a remake of a classic Diablo title, or even just another character pack (like a Druid….) for Diablo 3 similar to Rise of the Necromancer, everyone just wants something so they know that Blizzard hasn’t forgotten about them. After waiting over 4 years since the release of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls for a new game, fans are frustrated with the seeming lack of interest Blizzard is showing in one of their core franchises and desperate for news on the contrary.
You have to wonder how Blizzard thought this announcement was going to go down with their extremely volatile fanbase.
