Third, the publisher is preparing new remasters: “We have a few things up our sleeve in terms of updated content, which we will present in due course. They should give us additional opportunities this year. “

Earlier, the Bloomberg portal, citing its own sources, reported that Vicarious Visions, a studio that recently joined Blizzard, is working on a modernized version of Diablo II.

As for Overwatch 2, the next demo of a hero shooter is expected at BlizzConline. The festival will be held online from 19 to 20 February this year.

Overwatch 2 is being created for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, while Diablo IV is announced for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. However, in anticipation of the release, the list of target platforms for both projects may still change.
