“Essentially it exists because we’ve heard that China really wants it. Owing to the high demand of a mobile Diablo game by Chinese audiences, Blizzard decided to work in conjunction with NetEase to start a new project based on those demands, which went on to become Diablo Immortal.Īnd their original plan, according to the report, was to release it in China only. As per a report on Kotaku, soon after Diablo partnered with NetEase for the publishing of Diablo 3 in China, they decided to extend that working relationship.
Dissatisfaction from the fans, then, isn’t something that is hard to sympathize with.īut as it turns out, originally, the game reportedly wasn’t even meant for global audiences. It was a poorly handled, poorly timed announcement for a mobile-exclusive game in what has historically been a PC-exclusive franchise.
And though the outrage is something that is a bit of an overreaction, it’s not completely misplaced either. Diablo Immortal’s announcement at BlizzCon did not go down well with a large section of Blizzard’s fanbase.
