It’s unclear whether Blizzard’s claim that it was never planning on announcing Diablo 4 at BlizzCon 2018 will help or hurt its standing in the eyes of the community. But Blizzard’s clarification shows they never had that format in mind. Many fans voiced frustration over the lack of a Diablo 4 teaser, despite Blizzard’s original mention of multiple Diablo projects in the works and a reminder that stated these projects will be announced “when the time is right.” Those who were upset within the Diablo community often cited Bethesda’s conference at E3 2018 as the proper way to go about things, as that company followed up an announcement of a free-to-play mobile game, The Elder Scrolls: Blades, with a teaser for their next mainline entry, The Elder Scrolls VI. Even with rumors debunked, hopes were still high. Leading up to BlizzCon 2018, rumors swirled around what could be next for the series. It may seem like a small detail, but this clarification is important considering the state of the Diablo community immediately following Diablo Immortal. Diablo 4's first season has the vibe it should've had from the start. We do continue to have different teams working on multiple unannounced Diablo projects, and we look forward to announcing when the time is right. In addition to the acquisitions announced at E3 2018, Microsoft bought RPG specialists Obsidian and InXile in late 2018, too. We generally don’t comment on rumors or speculation, but we can say that we didn’t pull any announcements from BlizzCon this year or have plans for other announcements. First off we want to mention that we definitely hear our community.
