Diablo 4 DELAYED; Blizzard co-leader QUITS Daniel Hartmann

Original report from 3 November 2021:

Diablo 4: Blizzard plans significantly later release

If you are already waiting eager to Diablo 4, Blizzard has a bad news for you. The release window was moved backwards because the game requires even more development time. Incidentally, you divides the fate with the Overwatch fans.

Neither for Diablo 4 nor for OverVATCH 2 There has been an official release date so far, yet Blizzard moves its own plans backwards. In the current financial report of Activision Blizzard, the company explains that in the coming year, while the content of Blizzard is to be expected, but the two continuations will probably not belong.

Diablo 4 and OverVATCH 2 are postponed

There are still no concrete dates before, but it is not expected that one of the two games appear in 2022. It is much more likely that the releases will be made only in 2023 or later. The presentation of the financial report states:

While we continue to plan to publish a large amount of content of Blizzard next year, we are now planning a later release of OverVATCH 2 and Diablo 4 as originally intended. (Source: Activision Blizzard).

Although the teams have made great steps towards completion of both projects, but it lacks time to focus on the contents that should appear after the launch. Blizzard wants to make sure that the communities have games in both for both years.

Why the shift?

The need for more development time should also be caused by the changes in some leadership positions. So it says at Blizzard:

While we worked with new leadership at Blizzard and the franchises, especially in some supporting creative roles, it has become clear that part of the planned blizzard content for the coming year is needed even more development time to get full potential unfold. (Source: Activision Blizzard)

This refers to the departure of Game Director (Diablo 4) Louis Barriga in August 2021 in the course of the lawsuit that promotes the company a major problem with discrimination and sexual harassment. The Overwatch team also lost Game Director Jeff Kaplan in April 2021 and in September Executive Producer Chacko Sonny.

Referee Deniz Aytekin admitted that one could consider the card single-stroked considered too hard : But I was about something completely different. We have earned a minimum of respect, the impartial and complained that such a thing Behavior now be considered self-evident and as nothing bad . He did not want that. It s stupid to give the referee the chance to make a wrong decision. Mats Hummels The 43-year-old pointed out that he had admonished a few minutes before GUERreiro because of her off.
