Neither Diablo IV nor Overwatch 2 will be released this year -apkrig

If you were looking forward to the next BlizzCon, which did not take place in the traditional November term, but as an online event at the end of February, we don’t have good news for you. As part of the release of financial results, Activision Blizzard has announced that it does not anticipate the release of Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 for this calendar year and will both arrive in 2022 at the earliest. Although the titles did not have a release date, there was some chance that the players could pleasantly surprising in this regard, Activision CFO Dennis Durkin, however, cut off such considerations. Promised important updates of information about both titles, which Blizzard developers promised at the end of last year, will almost certainly go to the content and form of the mentioned games, not to the date of their release.

But not all fans of games from Activision and Blizzard have to be sad – Dennis Durkin confirmed in a discussion with investors that the next part of Call of Duty will definitely take place this year. Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games have been regularly passing the series on in recent years, assisted by people from Raven Software, but the 2020 incident broke the cycle and it’s not clear at this time what the latest sequel will take care. From the game is probably Treyarch, the authors of the current Black Ops Cold War, who last year put out problems arising between Sledghammer Games and Raven Software, so we would bet on Infinity Ward, but we would like to be surprised by something other than a possible next part of Modern Warfare.

Regardless of our preferences, Activision CEO Bobby Kotick has confirmed that Call of Duty is still one of the most popular gaming brands, underscoring the retention of more than 100 million active players each month last year. In addition, the series has generated more than $ 27 billion for Activision since its inception in 2003, which is also the answer to why new episodes come out with iron regularity every year, not counting the exception between the first and second episodes, which were two years apart. Also noteworthy are the total numbers of Call of Duty players in the previous year, which, thanks to Warzone and its availability in the free to play model, attracted over 250 million players, while two years earlier it was just 70 million.
