More to come, though we may not hear anything official until December.įollow me on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. I am not entertaining the idea that Diablo 4 is going to be an Xbox exclusive, because A) Microsoft wants those alt-platform sales and B) I don’t think this acquisition deal is going to be closed the time this game comes out anyway. Unlike Call of Duty, where past Sony deals may restrict that from coming to Game Pass for a few years, it’s unlikely anything like that applies to Diablo, and that could be a pretty massive win for Microsoft. That deal is fighting for approval in a number of countries, and while Call of Duty is the main focus, the idea is that in theory, a Microsoft-owned Blizzard would be putting console and PC versions of Diablo 4 on Game Pass, the way they do with essentially everything they own. We’ll keep playing to figure out if it all lives up to its promises after the rest of the content makes its way to the game.” Check out the full review so you can get a deeper insight into what to expect when the game officially goes live on June 5 for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One.Of course, all of this is taking place within the backdrop of Microsoft looking to acquire Activision Blizzard for nearly $70 billion. In our review, we said that Diablo 4 is “a genuinely fun game that evolves the Diablo formula players love, with an expansive world shared with hordes of other players. Given the live-service nature of this new title, it’s almost impossible to guarantee how the game will fare once the servers go live, but what is there with the base game at launch is fantastic. Blizzard invited us to try a pre-release version of the game a few games ago, and we brought you that experience through our Review-in-progress of the game. If you’re still on the edge about whether to get Diablo 4 or not, well we might have something to help with that.
