At this year’s BlizzCon news for World of Warcraft, Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 have been introduced. But these are all things that are aimed at reliable earnings. Blizzard under Activision couldn’t afford to risk anything else. That is changing under Microsoft.
President of Blizzard Mike Ybarra is looking forward to the new era under Microsoft. Looking forward to creative freedom, when Blizzard will feel much more like an independent studio. For that reason, Ybarra is not opposed to the development of smaller games that will not be a live service. Simply put, the world doesn’t end with Diablo, Warcraft, and Overwatch.
“We are not afraid to create new brands. We’re not afraid to turn models upside down.” he declared Ybarra and added that these can be four-hour game experiences as well as four-hundred-hour experiences. So feel free to single-player titles as well.

Gamers have been clamoring since Microsoft completed its $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard King after the return of StarCraft. Apparently she wants him too Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft’s gaming division. Not even Ybarra is against him, but first he needs someone with vision and passion. In other words, it needs developers who have good ideas with the world of StarCraft. The possibility of another genre is also not excluded, after all, a first-person shooter was already attempted, but it was canceled. The problem may be that a lot of experienced creators left Blizzard in recent years, because Activision did not give them a chance and did not want real-time strategies and less profitable projects.
Spencer recently visited Blizzard headquarters where he stated in front of employees that listens to their needs and wishes. Microsoft wants to be a source of trust for Blizzard and enable it to realize its visions and dreams. Other Microsoft executives highlighted Blizzard’s history.
It was during a visit to Blizzard’s headquarters that one could see what Microsoft wanted from Blizzard. Blizzard executives are said to have hurriedly prepared presentations to show their financial vision. But that shouldn’t have interested Spencer at all. Instead he wanted to see what they were working on. The entire meeting was to be conducted in a very informal style. The other heads of Microsoft Gaming should also have made it clear that they trust Blizzard, let them experiment and go their own way. It all ended with a barbecue where Spencer and his colleagues chatted for hours with individual Blizzard employees.
Let us recall that development is in full swing at Blizzard mysterious survival led by former Far Cry boss Dan Haye. It is supposed to introduce players to some new and dangerous world where they will fight for survival, probably against artificial intelligence and other players.
