![]() Reports on social media indicate 45 minutes of footage from what appears (but is not confirmed) to be an in-development build of Diablo 4 have leaked online. And it keeps Diablo in the news, entirely based on speculation which has never worked out for the best in any time in history.Not to be outdone by today’s industry-shaking Grand Theft Auto VI leaks, it seems Diablo 4 has suffered one of its own. The writer looks more like a shill (which is funny, because isn’t that the point of being a writer?), and Blizzard looks all the more foolish to have both prepared and not prepared for this event to unfold. Except all the parties in this case look bad. No, instead we get game writers (whom by their very profession get various leaks) to spread a message, and then paid to give a counter message, which gets people talking. Blizzard apparently ignored that too.Īnd really, of all the mobile games to launch, who here was surprised that WoW Pet Battles wasn’t on the list? PokemonGo has been gangbusters. EA didn’t get this memo when they announced C&C Renegades. Even though there’s a mobile game, the main line game is there too. Bethesda knocked it clear out with FO4 + Fallout Shelter, then ES6 + ES Blades. Is D4 so far out on the schedule that even a teaser isn’t viable?įor a company that prides itself on ultra polishing the genre, and paying attention to trends, the work on Diablo was ultra tone deaf. That doesn’t work with Blizzard in 2018, as made ultra clear with the announcement of Immortals.Įveryone has a good idea of the basics. It’s the real black sheep of the Blizzard franchise – the only one with a sell it, have no e-sports, and upkeep for free model. No one in their right mind thinks that Diablo 4 is not being worked on. It generated reactions, including this post. Then the article was appended to say the video was made after all, but the timing for it being at Blizzcon was the issue. Then Blizzard responded this wasn’t the case. Kotaku’s Jason Shcreier put an update on with “insider notes” that Diablo 4 was supposed to have a teaser at the end of the Immortal showcase, which would have apparently made all right in the world. You know one of those news cycle elements in where everyone looks bad? This is one. ![]()
