“Although we still plan to release a significant amount of content from Blizzard next year, we will launch Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 later than originally anticipated,” the report said.
If you follow the situation in Blizzard a bit, this is not very surprising news. Diablo 4 director Luis Barriga was fired in August due to sexual harassment in the workplace, while Overwatch 2 director Jeff Kaplan left Blizzard alone in April after 19 years. This was not good news for any of the games, as there is an easy risk that they will fall into the so-called production hell.
Both were announced at the Blizzcon event in November 2019. We somehow suspected that we would wait for Diablo 4, but the question is what is happening with Overwatch 2. According to leaks, the game continued to develop with difficulty, slowly and the departure of experienced Kaplan was a hard blow. .
Thanks to the diversity, World of Warcraft will be a better game, its boss believes |
“These are the two most anticipated titles in the industry, and our teams have made great progress in completing them in recent quarters. However, we believe that giving them a little more time to complete production and further develop their creative capacity to support the titles after they have been launched will ensure that these games excite and engage their communities for many years to come. ”
It is spicy that Jen Oneal is leaving the management of Blizzard after only three months. Only Mike Ybarra, who worked for Xbox until 2019, remains the boss.
