Blizzard alone was not responsible for Diablo Immortal, though the third-party developers NetEase were just as responsible. It has been surrounded by controversies even before it was released. The early impressions of Diablo Immortal were definitely not great.

Instead of coming out with something better and different, Diablo Immortal is oddly no different than other Diablo titles, if not worse. When we got to see the Demo of the game, it was very clear that Blizzard failed to meet the fan’s expectations. Demo booth of diablo Immortal in Blizzconįans were expecting Diablo 4, but instead, they got a mobile sequel in the form of Diablo Immortal. Not to mention how frustrated fans were by the Unable to authenticate Error in Diablo Immortal. But it’s not like Blizzard actually denies it. The character designs are also polished, but they follow more or less the same structure. Rather than having its own original concepts in games, Blizzard uses existing ideas and alternates them a bit, making them more lore-focused.

When Diablo Immortal came out, it was clear that Blizzard lacked originality.
