All that is happening against the backdrop of Microsoft looking to acquire Activision Blizzard for nearly $70 billion. The deal is battling for approval in several countries Diablo 4 Gold, and while Call of Duty is the main focus, the idea is that, theoretically, the Microsoft-owned Blizzard would be putting both consoles and PC variants of Diablo 4 on Game Pass in the same way that they do with almost everything they own. It's not like Call of Duty, where past Sony agreements have prevented that from coming to Game Pass for a few years, it's highly unlikely that anything similar applies to Diablo which could be a major victory for Microsoft.

I'm not buying into the notion it is possible that Diablo 4 is going to be an Xbox exclusive, due to the fact that the following reasons: A) Microsoft wants those alt-platform sales, and B) I don't think this acquisition deal will be concluded by the time the game releases. But never say never, I suppose.

Diablo Immortal, Blizzard's mobile-focused entry in its action-RPG franchise has now made more than $300 million in revenue according to reports. As a comparison, the hugely popular Raid: Shadow Legends made record-breaking profits in 2021 up to $370 million. This places Diablo Immortal, which only was released in the summer of 2018 way ahead of the pace, at a minimum, financially.

At the time of its release, Diablo Immortal was the subject of harsh criticism as well as fan backlash. Even though many reviews described an enjoyable and satisfying gameplay, which is in keeping in the Diablo series However, gamers were furious about the game's outrageous microtransaction system and even took to the review bombing of Diablo Immortal in protest. Blizzard Entertainment's president Mike Ybarra, defended the microtransactions and said that the vast majority of players don't pay anything whatsoever. The statement didn't go over well with angry fans however, as they're faced with a system which aggressively encourages players to use real money or have to endure a huge grind.

Diablo 4 is currently undergoing through its Closed Beta that is, this means that concrete information is starting to surface about the game's features, classes and game loop, with the information coming out of Blizzard this time and focused on Diablo 4's open world approach. As with its predecessors Diablo 4 is set in the world of Sanctuary however, different from its previous games, Diablo 4's game world is one large connected maze that players can explore on their own terms and is more similar to that of the Adventure Mode introduced in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls cheap Diablo IV Gold.
