Apparently, though, Blizzard decided to change its BlizzCon plans for the franchise at some point in the last couple of weeks. Interestingly enough, a recent report has now indicated that Blizzard initially had plans to reveal the sequel at BlizzCon 2018, but ultimately pulled the announcement from the schedule.Īccording to a couple of anonymous sources who spoke with Kotaku, Blizzard was initially going to tease Diablo 4 with a video of company co-founder Allen Adham telling the audience that the game was indeed in development, but not ready to show just yet. When it became clear that Diablo 4 was not going to be mentioned, many went on to express disappointment with the company for not at least showing a fragment of evidence that confirmed the fourth numbered installment. According to people close to Blizzard's plans for the event, a video confirming the development of Diablo 4 has been made, but due to the changes the project has seen since development started there is a hesitancy to announce it officially.Over the weekend, Blizzard Entertainment found itself steeped in controversy with its fan base after closing out its keynote address at BlizzCon 2018 with a reveal of a mobile project for its classic action-RPG franchise, Diablo Immortal. As revealed by Kotaku, the developer has an announcement video for Diablo 4 ready, but did not want to show it at the event. However, it turns out that Blizzard may have been able to dampen the negative response to Diablo Immortal if it had actually shared this reveal of Diablo 4.

This went on to receive a huge amount of negative feedback, in part due to dissatisfaction over a move to mobile gaming as a whole but equally because of a lack of official announcement of Diablo 4. That left Blizzard in an awkward situation at BlizzCon, with the only Diablo reveal being that of mobile-only game Diablo Immortal.
