It'll also offer PvE modes, including a dedicated story mode with missions that require you to play as specific characters and will flesh out Overwatch's lore.
Both games will co-exist in a shared multiplayer environment, with any and all new playable characters, maps, and modes to be made available in both as well. While it is by all accounts a full-fledged sequel to the original hero shooter, Overwatch 2 isn't technically replacing the first game. It too was announced in November 2019 and has since suffered internal delays and employee turnouts that have pushed its release to 2023 at the absolute earliest. Overwatch 2's situation is really not that much different from Diablo 4's. The departure of key figures in its development obviously would set it back and it also remains to be seen if the Microsoft acquisition will affect it further. Diablo 4's director Luis Barriga and lead designer Jesse McCree both left the project and the company in July, with the latter specifically implicated as part of the infamous BlizzCon Cosby Crew. It's believed that development has been affected by the ongoing scandals at Activision Blizzard. At the very least, it won't be coming out in 2022 and it's slated for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. Over two years since its announcement, however, and there is still no release date.
The long-awaited follow-up to 2012's Diablo 3, Diablo 4 will once again see players choose a character class and scour dungeons for enemies to fight and stronger equipment so they may eventually thwart the main antagonist Lilith. This is the Diablo those fans in 2018 wanted to see announced. It's the only Blizzard project to have something even vaguely resembling a release window, with it currently scheduled to launch within the first half of 2022. While it is a mobile spin-off, Diablo Immortal is still an action RPG like the rest of the series it's just also an MMO with various multiplayer activities like raids and PvP combat. The negativity surrounding it seems to have died down over the years and the closed beta in October was mostly positively received.
Confirmation that it wouldn't come to PC elicited booing. You probably do remember its infamous unveiling at BlizzCon 2018, where fans very publicly expressed their discontent with the next Diablo title being a game for mobile phones.ĭuring a Q&A session with developers, one attendee even asked if Diablo Immortal was an out of season April Fools joke, which quickly went viral across social media. Compared to Blizzard's other projects, Diablo Immortal hasn't had nearly the same amount of media attention and it has most assuredly been drowned out by the Activision sexual harassment lawsuit. We wouldn't blame you for forgetting this one exists.
