Diablo IV & Overwatch 2 Releases Are Absent For 2021, Activision Blizzard Confirms In Recent Earnings Call

While annual installments for Call of Duty continue to roll out alongside the occasional new Hero or expansion for Blizzard Entertainment’s Overwatch or World of Warcraft respectively, the coming lineup of Activision Blizzard titles are surely something for fans to gather around. It was during the annual Blizzcon in 2019 that the titular developer unveiled both Overwatch 2 alongside Diablo IV to arrive later on.

However, the team since its initial reveal on both project has failed to elaborate further on when players can expect to the games in their hands. Noted, Diablo does receive a monthly update in terms of development, but a clear launch window is still left very vacant. And seeing that Blizzcon Online is set to take place very soon, there is hope to learn more about both in the coming future.

But, Activision Blizzard saved you the trouble of waiting in its latest earnings call. In that, it is evident upon discovering that the release date for both Overwatch 2 alongside Diablo IV are both absent from releasing in 2021. The firm does go on to disclose that while “significant progress” is being made on its internal projects, the two big hitters are not set for this year.

As per what could arrive in the meantime, Activision Blizzard does go on to elaborate there is yet another remastered experience underway. Of course, context on the project is missing. In a previous report, it is disclosed that Vicarious Visions is working on a Diablo II remake after its merge into Blizzard Entertainment.

The studio responsible for Crash Bandicoot N’ Sane Trilogy & Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 + 2 is now officially under the Blizzard banner. The team is told to not be helming future remastering projects following the transition. So, if not the Diablo II remake, then the game is possibly another entry altogether from another Activision entity such as Beenox or Toys for Bob. You can read the initial report by heading here.

Are you planning to get Overwatch 2 or Diablo IV when they arrive?
