Nevertheless, one of the unnamed sources claimed Blizzard was still going to assure fans that D4 was in development by playing the aforementioned teaser video at BlizzCon, but then those plans were nixed. Evidently, the Diablo team wasn't ready to give an announcement due to D4 having drastically changed over the past four years, and that it may continue to do so.įor those unaware, about two weeks before BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard shared a blog post that stopped just short of actually confirming Diablo 4, with the publisher and developer asserting that fans should measure their expectations, as the game would not make an appearance at this year's event.

Apparently, though, Blizzard decided to change its BlizzCon plans for the franchise at some point in the last couple of weeks. According to a couple of anonymous sources who spoke with Kotaku, Blizzard was initially going to tease Diablo 4 with a video of company co-founder Allen Adham telling the audience that the game was indeed in development, but not ready to show just yet.
