With Diablo Immortal we learn some pieces of the Worldstone survived.Berger then highlighted the various archangels and demons throughout the games. Matthew Berger, senior designer, dove right into the lore of Diablo, starting with a timeline of the universe, ranging from the creation of Sanctuary by Lilith and Inarius using the Worldstone on one end and the End of Times at the other.Wyatt Cheng, lead designer, prefaced the panel by saying that the development team hears fans in regards to some of the negativity surrounding the Diablo Immortal reveal, and stressed once more that there are multiple Diablo projects in development. 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.Wrapping up Diablo's presence at BlizzCon, the World and Q&A panel dove into the lore of Diablo and gave a preview of some of the abilities the classes will use in Diablo Immortal. 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. We do continue to have different teams working on multiple unannounced Diablo projects, and we look forward to announcing when the time is right. 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.
