While the duo didn't outright reveal any details or specifically say Diablo 4 in the interview, it was heavily implied as they hoped fans would remain patient in the meantime. In response to last year's backlash, Blizzard Co-Founder and Executive Producer Allen Adham and Production Director Dan Elggren confirmed that Diablo Immortal was just one of the many Diablo projects in active development. Naturally, the first thing that likely comes to mind in order to qualify as a big announcement is the long awaited Diablo 4 reveal. That particular exchange became a rallying cry for fans who believe that Blizzard is out of touch with its fanbase. Unfortunately, Blizzard decided that it was the perfect time to show off a mobile game called Diablo Immortal, a decision that did not go over well with the community. The presentation quickly turned into a debacle, highlighted by a fan asking if the announcement was an April Fools Joke to which a developer replied that everyone has phones.

While the game has since been ported to nearly every available platform, fans were convinced that BlizzCon would be the perfect venue to announce Diablo 4. It isn't the first time Blizzard has come under fire from fans, as one of the more memorable incidents came almost one year ago at BlizzCon 2018, and many still remember that exact debacle surrounding the Diablo franchise.Īt this point, it's been nearly 8 years since Diablo 3 originally launched on PC, and fans remain hungry for any new details or information on what's next for the franchise. It's been an eventful few weeks for Blizzard Entertainment, which has recently come under fire for the controversy that resulted following a post match Hearthstone interview where the Grandmaster Champion Ng Wai 'Blitz'Chung was banned over his Pro-Hong Kong sentiments.
