This morning, I imagine you are relistening tothat Handforth Parish Council meeting, cackling when that fella does his Gollum voice and texting your pals “YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY HERE”. That’s cool. That’s fun. But you know which conference calls are really cool? Activision Blizzard quarterly financial results conference calls. That’s what I, a cool and fun person, listened to today. And you know what hot viral info I gleaned?Diablo 4andOverwatch 2probably aren’t coming out until 2022 at earliest.

The latest numberblast laid out their financial predictions for the future, and CFO Dennis Durkin stated: “Our outlook does not includeDiablo IVor Overwatch 2 launching in 2021.” That’s all. No further details. No explanations or reasons. He also noted that as they look to plans for 2022, they “expect Blizzard to release major new titles across console, PC, and mobile”. Which you’d hope would include at least one of D4 and OW2.
I suppose technically the games could still launch this year despite that not being in the projections, but it sure sounds like they don’t expect that.
As for Diablo IV, ah, given its longand reportedly troubleddevelopment, sure, go on, take your time. Blizzard improvedDiablo IIIa lot over the years but I’d still rather just playDiablo II, and I’d love to have a decent good Diablo IV out the gate.
BlizzCon Onlinestarts February 19th. Hopefully we’ll see and learn more then.
