GAMERANT VIDEO OF THE DAY
At this point, it's been nearly 8 years since Diablo 3 originally launched on PC, and fans remain hungry for any new details or information on what's next for the franchise. While the game has since been ported to nearly every available platform Diablo IV Gold, fans were convinced that BlizzCon would be the perfect venue to announce Diablo 4. Adding a bit of fuel to the fires of speculation was a special skin for the Overwatch character Sombra, which essentially turned her into the Demon Hunter class from Diablo 3.

Unfortunately, Blizzard decided that it was the perfect time to show off a mobile game called Diablo Immortal, a decision that did not go over well with the community. The presentation quickly turned into a debacle, highlighted by a fan asking if the announcement was an April Fools Joke to which a developer replied that everyone has phones. That particular exchange became a rallying cry for fans who believe that Blizzard is out of touch with its fanbase.

Naturally, the first thing that likely comes to mind in order to qualify as a big announcement is the long awaited Diablo 4 reveal. In response to last year's backlash, Blizzard Co-Founder and Executive Producer Allen Adham and Production Director Dan Elggren confirmed that Diablo Immortal was just one of the many Diablo projects in active development. While the duo didn't outright reveal any details or specifically say Diablo 4 in the interview, it was heavily implied as they hoped fans would remain patient in the meantime.

Shockingly, reports also came out that Blizzard was initially planning on showing Diablo 4 before eventually pulling it in favor of the ill-timed mobile title Diablo Immortal. Blizzard has denied those claims, but it stands to reason that if an announcement was being prepared last year, then perhaps an additional 12 months of development time makes an announcement at BlizzCon 2019 all the more plausible cheap Diablo 4 Gold
