Blizzard officially announces that “multiple” Diablo projects are currently in development

"Blizzard has been hiring new employees for their “Unannounced Diablo Project” for more than two years now. And while we still don’t know anything concrete about where the developer is taking the famed franchise, they did officially (and finally) announce that “multiple” Diablo projects are currently in the works."

Come on Diablo 4, been waiting years now.

lptmg2502d ago

Diablo 3 for Switch sounds more than likely

Cmv382502d ago

Sounds likely, but I hope that port doesn't take away much from the other projects that are of more importance.

Davidgr22502d ago

Diablo 3 came out in 2012, and until this day Blizzard still supports it. Same goes with Overwatch, so whatever you guys are developing I’m buying day one.

bluefox7552502d ago

Yeah, they really don't get enough credit for their post launch support. They're literally the best in the industry in that regard.

Gh05t2502d ago

Maybe because there day one support was terrible. Diablo 3 launch was the worst launch game I have played... or rather couldnt play, it didnt settle down for 3 days. (I am not saying that there have not been worse launched games I am saying I wasnt a part of those worse launch games this one I was a part of).

Not to mention the terrible PvP (or lack of launch PvP even though it is on the box) and by the time I stopped playing it the "PvP" they did have was a joke.

Lets also talk about this auction house that they touted over and over again before release. Or how about them allowing a real money auction house to begin with and then when you spend money on the "META" items the next patch comes out, nerfs the META and the items you could have spent $250 a piece on are worthless because they decided they were too powerful, rather than making it "legacy" gear. Which brings up the point that they said the market would be controlled by the community which was completely false because they controlled the items and would buff and nerf items already acquired which influenced the market which let me remind you was REAL MONEY.

Lets also not forget that the developers literally said that some players weren't having fun correctly. I dont know about you but there is nothing like a developer telling me I am playing their game wrong so they have to fix it for me because i should not be having fun like that.

I was a huge Diablo 3 fan but they started treating a section of their community like pariah for a game that they made with the options trey added because we werent "playing" their game "right".

So I give them all the stabbed in the back credit they deserve.

Palitera2502d ago

^ Ok, but POST LAUNCH... Do you agree that they took that initial mess and turned it into a marvelous game?

Gh05t2502d ago

@Palitera

Probably and not really.

Post launch for the first year and a half was terrible. Jay Wilson was a terrible person to the community as people tried to express the frustration of the game, its mechanics, and the like.

I had already stopped playing by the time he quite the industry completely (good riddance). So did it improve after he left, maybe but the first "still post launch" two years was hot garbage from the devs. Did they turn that ship around for those who stayed... maybe, but they sure killed all love I had for the series and the company as a whole, I dont ever remember them apologizing for how the devs treated the fans who only wanted the best for the game.

Arxios2501d ago (Edited 2501d ago )

Gh05t-The director responsible for that was let go, and since then the game has improved by leaps and bounds. The intial launch was a disappointment, but they have fully turned the game around.

This has me very excited. Am a huge Diablo fan, and have been hoping for a D4 announcement for a long time.

Sgt_Slaughter2502d ago

Can we get a Diablo Trilogy in HD for all consoles/PC? Only played III and always wanted to try the first two but a modern update would help tremendously.

Remember Oblivion horse armor everyone? Good times good times.

gigoran836d ago

I remember when they were testing the waters with paid DLC and people were screaming to not buy them so that companies would get the idea that we didn't want to pay for unfinished games. Gamers didn't listen, now the game companies are lapping it up.

Xristo36d ago

The Oblivion horse armor may have been the beginning of cosmetics however, the WoW Celestial Mount takes the cake for setting us up for the present day. That mount made more money for Blizzard than the whole Starcraft 2 franchise. Just sad and crazy.

Michiel198935d ago

horse armor wasn't the first mtx, far from it.

PRIMORDUS35d ago

Nope cause I torrented that game and the horse DLC lol

tombfan36d ago

When did we lost the ability to see COSMETICS on game stores at just $3 DLLs...

anast36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

It's Diablo Immortal: Re-skinned, the Orca edition.

Michiel198936d ago

at least be right for once...diablo immortal is D3 reskinned.....
You are always the most opiniated on games you haven't played and don't know a single thing about.

anast35d ago

Hi Mich. Good to see you are kind of doing okay. You still have this fascination with imaginary omnipotence, but at least we are getting somewhere.

Michiel198935d ago

you recovered from the iceberg?

Diablo 4 devs state game’s hated roadmap is incomplete, promise “good surprises” are coming

Speaking to fans on Twitter, Blizzard director of social and content marketing Adan Fketcher explained that the roadmap fans have been given is incomplete. While the roadmap does include some of the additions coming to the ARPG, there’s also more that the studio has yet to reveal.

AndrewM62d ago

Sorry I picked up Poe 2 last week, and it is way better than your game will ever be.

anast62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

They should have taken their time and made a good game instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout.

Michiel198962d ago

it already took them a decade, not sure how much more time they need

anast62d ago

They hadn't worked on it for a decade: "instead of panicking after the Immortal "Don't you have phones?" fallout."

CrimsonWing6962d ago

I haven’t beaten Diablo 4, but from the time I’ve spent I really loved it. What is it that people hate about it?

anast62d ago

The builds are too basic and the end game is not good, which is fine if they went the Diablo 2 route, but unlike D2 the build complexity really isn't there — the lack of tend game quality and the lack of build complexity is a recipe for suck in the ARPG space.
