The trailer was met with massive backlash from fans. What fans instead received was a trailer for Diablo: Immortal, a mobile ARPG/MMO: Many fans held hopes for Diablo 4, or at the very least a new expansion for Diablo III. These were fueled by the awkwardly worded announcement that Netflix was in talks to produce a Diablo animated series, the release of a trailer for the Diablo 3 Nintendo Switch port which prematurely announced the Treasure Goblin amiibo, and Blizzard’s own admission that Diablo-related news would be featured at Blizzcon. In the months leading up to Blizzcon, rumors circulated that Blizzcon would hold a major announcement regarding the Diablo franchise.

This year was no exception, but while Overwatch fans were presented with a new hero and Warcraft fans were promised a remaster of Warcraft 3, Diablo fans were not so fortunate. The weekend long event traditionally holds new game announcements and content reveals for many of Blizzard’s beloved catalogue of games, such as Overwatch and Starcraft. This weekend, Blizzard Entertainment hosted their annual fan event, Blizzcon, in Anaheim, California.
