Worshipped to the point of proselytism at the sight of any doubt to this day. I won’t take you kicking and screaming through those tribulations or the entirety of the Diablo franchise’s ebbs and flows for the sake of brevity and focusing where it actually matters, but I will recap a brief few points, followed by the timeline of the single release that is without a doubt the wick behind the inferno that currently embroils the entirety of any discussion about Immortal.ĭiablo (1996) and Diablo 2 (2000) are so beloved it seems disingenuous to merely label them as such They are revered.

To say this is Blizzard’s first rodeo with misplaced marketing with Diablo alone would be openly lying, let alone throughout the remaining history of their highly scrutinised IPs. One question to perfectly summarise and clearly represent the fanbase’s reaction to the newly announced mobile addition to Diablo’s sparse but ultimately tightly-refined history. One broken precedent is all that it takes to set fire to this ever socially-regulated industry One man, the perpetually despised consumer-advocate, to be specific, has stood up firmly and to widespread support defiantly asked but a single question towards Blizzard’s foolish attempt to Q&A the recent Blizzcon announcement of Diablo Immortal “Is this an out-of-season April Fool’s joke?”

“They love what they love and want what they want” Blizzard Co-Founder Allen Adham on Diablo fans.

Diablo immortal is this a joke
