Even worse, Warcraft III: Reforged and Overwatch 2 were used as excuses to shut down their predecessors, leaving fans no choice but to either bear with the new version or just quit.
Put a bit more accurately, it released one of the worst remasters to ever stain the PC space, a blatant cash-grab seemingly intended solely to take advantage of smartphone players and a glorified update that isn’t really worthy of having a “2” in the title. Since then though, it’s turned out “bangers” such as Warcraft III: Reforged, Diablo Immortal and Overwatch 2.

Don’t let Blizzard of all entities define what fandom is, and don’t rush to pre-order Diablo 4 just to try it a week earlier. Everyone will who wants to will be able to participate in the second “beta” period, but only those “true fans” who pre-order Diablo 4 beforehand will have the “privilege” of playing in the first period. The first will be from March 17 to March 19, and the second will be from March 24 to March 26. Blizzard recently announced that Diablo 4 is going to have two “open betas” next month.
