However, according to Blizzard, it will host an online event next year that is scheduled for February 2021. Nonetheless, with this rumor dead, there's really not much more that has any weight to it out there.Īs for an update on the development of Diablo 4, fans shouldn't expect any announcements this year, given that BlizzCon 2020 has been canceled.

However, given that the game is expected to release in a few years, it is more than likely that next-generation versions of the game will also be available, especially if Blizzard wants to capture console gamers transitioning from current-gen to next-gen. However, some fans were confused when Blizzard revealed that Diablo 4 would be a game for the PC and current-generation consoles, which is why some speculated that the game would be released this year, before the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Although a release date one year after the game's official announcement is a long shot, fans initially thought Blizzard is following the release pattern of Diablo 3, which launched just before the PS4 and Xbox One.Īs of this writing, Blizzard still hasn't confirmed Diablo 4 for the PS5 and Xbox Series X. Of course, even then, a 2020 release date is not at all realistic.

Shortly after the official announcement of Diablo 4 last year, a rumor began circulating online that Blizzard is all set to release the game this year.
