I'm more skeptical of the idea that they will release an actual Diablo game apart from Immortal this year. There's no proof for any of it, all I know if there's no announcement for Diablo games, I'm sure most people will be upset. I do feel they will have to announce Diablo 4 or D2 remaster, but that's just my expectation based on the last Blizzcon. He's going on a hunch based on a magazine leak, and new icons (which aren't new). I know it's been leaked by a person on Twitter, and he was correct about other leaks, but that's not evidence for anything.

But the fact that Blizzard hasn't released anything or even announced anything substantial that'll come out before 2020 can ONLY mean that the shareholders aren't forcing them to do anything drastic. The past is prologue, but times do change, and the company does have a new CEO and is bringing in new suits regularly.

The reason I mention this, though, is because the game development teams are staffing UP. I have several friends who were caught in this layoff wave and some still haven't found new work.) (Aside: Yes, anyone who works for a game studio provides an important service to games being released, but there IS a difference between publishing and esports vs. When Blizzard laid off ~800 people at their headquarters earlier this year, it was all folks who were not on the game development teams. ![]() Last updated at 14:00:17 UTC Weekly Help Desk RAGE Loot Thread Trade Thread
