The delay announcement makes a bit more sense in the case of Overwatch 2, as Overwatch League executives jumped the gun earlier this year and unveiled that the esports league would be moving over to the new game during next year’s season. This would have put Overwatch 2’s release date somewhere around Summer 2022. As for Diablo 4, that game’s release date is still anyone’s guess, but it didn’t seem to be expected in 2022.
 
In the announcement, Blizzard confirmed that Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 are getting “a later launch than originally envisaged”, with neither game planned to release in 2022. With that said, the company claims that both teams have made “great strides towards completion” and have “passed important milestones”. Now, both games will have more development time, which will be used in part to ensure a better slate of post-launch content. It is also worth noting that both Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 recently went through big changes, with the directors on both projects being replaced.
 
It will be sad if both games can't launch in 2022. I was personally looking forward to Diablo 4 next year.

    Those funds being cut from the rapid drop of subs will kind of do that, you should see the wow live players in game numbers at different times of the day it's scary.

    I still remember the Diablo 3 release... ohh and people thought Cyberpunk taking 7-8years was too long... Well I really have my hopes up for Diablo 4, the cinametic was epic but thats to be expacted since Blizzard always makes their cinematics insanely good. Anyways, I just hope it won't be pushed back to 2024... it probably will... 

    As for the Overwatch news, as an old Overwatch player who bought it almost as soon as it came out... I am sad to see them create a new game instead of upgrading the current one but my love for that game has long since died...

    Frankly, when any game gets sexuality thrust into it ...I'm over it.
     
    I'm playing a game. I don't need a microcosm of real life in it. I need to escape all the crap in real life.
     
    Not sure why all that has to get thrust into games anyway.

    Ditto for "representation" and "diversity" forced into video games.   I don't need to be "represented" in a game to enoy it, so why do others?
