They couldn't finish expansion and had to delay it and they basically dropped 1 content patch a year its you who is full on copium thinking they gona drop next expansion on time.

They aren't going to violate their one expansion per two years window. You're on some quality copium if you still believe 9.3 exists. Honestly as disappointing as it is short term its a good long term goal - You don't want to launch a new game then have it dead a month later because they don't have the team or the proper internal framework to maintain said games, Need more high quality games and less WC3 Reforged- Glad their focus (PRESUMABLY) is on releasing games only when they're actually ready and are getting more staff as to (HOPEFULLY) not overwork the existing. Makes you wonder if those games were even being worked on with the delays being that long. Now that is a massive delay Comment by Leftkeywest on T16:59:15-05:00 Yes to that Comment by Akrias on T16:56:57-05:00Ī game delayed a year is better than a game that die in a year.

Although he was unwilling to confirm any release date, Ybarra reiterated that he was confident the team was building something incredibly and that Diablo 4 would be the darkest expression of the game universe yet.ĭiablo Immortal, on the other hand, is now in public testing and remains on track for release in the first half of next year. Alongside the continued engagement of Diablo 3 (which just released details of its 25th Season PTR update) and upcoming excitement for Diablo Immortal adding another entry point into the Diablo universe, these success are taken as confirmation that their plan for the Diablo franchise is heading in the right direction to engage a huge community appetite for more content from the dark gothic Diablo universe.

Ybarra also spoke on the multi-tiered approach to Diablo content intended to offer something for all types of players, with Diablo II: Resurrected igniting nostalgia and setting the highest first week sales record for any remaster done by Activision Blizzard, including the acclaimed Tony Hawk Pro Skater series.

In response to a question during the Q&A session at the end of the call, Blizzard leader Mike Ybarra said that the extra time will help increase the size of development teams ahead of launch, to ensure they follow up with substantial content releases - echoing other comments throughout the call which spoke about applying the Call of Duty and Candy Crush models of fast paced seasonal content releases and franchise tie-ins to other games within the Activision Blizzard umbrella, specifically citing the two Blizzard games. While this development will push out the financial outlook that we expect to see next year, we firmly believe that this is the right course of action for our people, for the longterm success of the franchises, and for our shareholders. We're therefore currently not planning to include contributions from Overwatch 2 or Diablo in 2022. Players will also be able to acquire items through a new and “consistently updated” in-game shop.Armin Zerza, CFO Activision BlizzardWe've made the decision to give the Diablo and Overwatch team the extra time to deliver the experience that their communities deserve and set the francizes up for maximum success over a multi-year period. He added: “OW1 credits come with you to OW2, but our new virtual currency will be the main currency, and there will be things in OW2 that will not be purchasable with those OW1 credits”.īlizzard plans to offer Overwatch 2 seasonal updates every nine weeks, and battle passes featuring new heroes, game modes, maps and cosmetics. “We are not transitioning loot boxes into Overwatch 2, and ahead of launch, any unopened loot boxes will be automatically opened with your account receiving all the contents directly.” “To give you a quick answer now though, those existing currencies (credits, OWL tokens, and competitive points) will come with you into Overwatch 2. “We’ll share a more detailed explanation on all of these topics before Overwatch 2 goes live in October,” said the franchise’s commercial lead, Jon Spector. One user asked what will happen to loot boxes and Overwatch’s existing currencies once the sequel arrives.

“When OW2 launches on Oct 4th it will be a replacement for the current Live Service,” Overwatch 2 game director Aaron Keller said in a Reddit AMA on Wednesday.
