“And while King is a clear leader in mobile, we’re still investing in Activision and Blizzard franchises for mobile releases. “Mobile remains the largest and fastest growing platform for gaming in the world,” Johnson said. The company also confirmed it was actively working on other Diablo games, but would not say if any were the anticipated “Diablo 4.”ĭuring the earning’s analyst call, Johnson mentioned the game while discussing Activision Blizzard’s continued push into mobile. In a follow-up interview with Variety, Blizzard said the game was being built from scratch and not using any existing mobile title. Reaction, by some, ranged from anger to disbelief, with one fan asking in the live session if the unveiling was an early April Fool’s Day joke and those online saying the game would simply be a reskin of an existing Netease title. While Blizzard had warned in the weeks leading up to the show that there would be no major Diablo news, some fans were hoping for news of “Diablo 4.” Instead, the company announced a smartphone version of the game in development with Netease. The opening ceremony of BlizzCon, a livestreamed event always replete with news and unveilings, concluded with Diablo. It’s something that we really appreciate, and we like to hear the things that they articulate as to what they want to hear next and what we can do better, frankly.” The commitment and the engagement of our community is, I think, one of the things that makes Blizzard very special. And frankly, we feel fortunate to have a community that cares so much about that franchise. I think that came through loud and clear from BlizzCon. “I think that it’s clear that there are a lot of players who are eager for more Diablo PC and console content. “So we’ve seen some interesting reaction to the announcement,” Brack said during the Activision Blizzard third-quarter earnings call. Allen Brack was a bit more blunt with his assessment of the game reveal over the weekend, which sparked anger among some of Diablo’s biggest fans.
The reaction to the BlizzCon unveiling of “ Diablo Immortal” was “muted,” according to Activision Blizzard president and chief operating officer Coddy Johnson.
