blizzard scrapped plans for diablo 4 video

Game Director Aaron Keller says that by releasing co-op content this way, players can look forward to it 'more often, and with more variety than we had originally announced.'.

The first batch of PvE co-op story missions is scheduled to become available in Overwatch 2 Season 6, which is expected to begin on August 15, 2023.

Instead, the studio plans to incorporate various forms of 'canon and very not canon' co-op content into Overwatch 2's live service roadmap.

In a new Overwatch 2 developer livestream, Blizzard announced that its originally planned PvE campaign mode with hero talents and long-term progression has been cancelled.

The aforementioned lawsuit was issued by the state of California for an alleged 'frat boy culture' that fostered widespread harassment, a toxic work environment, and unequal pay, among numerous other things.

There has been no new release date for either Diablo 4 or Overwatch 2 officially announced by Activision-Blizzard, who still involved in an ongoing discrimination lawsuit. This announcement of delays also follows the company cancelling BlizzCon 2022 in late October, citing the company's effort to 'reimagine' the event and to make the event feel 'as safe, welcoming, and inclusive as possible.' This was announced to be happening back in early September and will still go ahead despite this delay. It has also been noted that despite this delay, the Overwatch League will still be using an early build of Overwatch 2 in the upcoming 2022 season. It was also announced during the Q2 financial report that Overwatch 2 had been making 'great progress' and that the project and surpassed a 'major milestone.' Meanwhile, Diablo 4 saw Joe Shely take over as director on the project after Luis Barriga was fired from Blizzard also amidst the ongoing lawsuit.
