![]() ![]() ![]() The Microsoft Activision deal is not done, so Diablo 4 is not launching for free on Game Pass. Diablo 4, like Hogwarts Legacy, has multiplatform appeal and is not locked into being an exclusive. If not the best.ġ2 million sales in two weeks for Hogwarts Legacy is going to be hard to beat, however, and it very well may creep close to 20 million by year’s end. And if it can avoid the disastrous Error 37 issues of D3’s botched launch, it’s hard to see how this game does not break more records at launch, and go on to be one of the best-selling games of the year. It’s returning to a darker tone, channeling Diablo 2. It is a “live” game, but will sell only cosmetics in its inevitable battle pass. Everything is exactly what I want to see and hear. How can they deliver the game Diablo 4 needs to be with Blizzard in this state?īut there is nothing, not one piece of revealed information or promotion, that gives me pause about Diablo 4. Diablo 4 also lost several key team members during development including its director, fired for not acting on information they’d received about abuses within the company. I think we have every reason to be skeptical of the game, given the state of Blizzard which frankly, constantly seems like its on the verge of collapse. It sold 12 million copies by the end of its first calendar year, and then sold 30 million three years later in 2015.ĭiablo 4, I would also argue, also looks almost too good to be true from everything I’ve seen. At the time it was the fastest-selling PC game in history, and that was even despite an incredibly rocky launch. You should absolutely, 100% not underestimate Diablo 4’s sales potential. And it leaves Diablo 4, which I would consider probably the only serious contender. That leaves Call of Duty, which I am suspicious of given current Activision turmoil and debates about whether or not whatever comes out this fall will be a “real” Call of Duty game, or just an extension of Modern Warfare 2. ![]()
