So, yes, I can confirm there's a new PC Diablo coming. Hopefully knowing that Diablo 4 is in development -- and has been for a while, in various forms, under different directors -- helps comfort any of you who were worried that the series was going mobile-only or something.

The original plan for BlizzCon 2018, according to two people familiar with Blizzard’s plans, was for Blizzard to announce the mobile gameand then end on a video in which company co-founder Allen Adham told the audience that a properwas in development but not ready to show just yet. Instead, at last Friday’s keynote, Blizzard revealedto a quiet, uncomfortable crowd and then ended the show. For most of the weekend,fans raged online as a result, expressing their anger on YouTube and various forums. There were a few reasons for the controversy, but the driving factor was that the company’s soleannouncement was a game that appeared to be made for a very different audience than hardcorefans.The reactions could have been very different. Blizzard changed its BlizzCon plans forat some point in the last couple of weeks, those people familiar with goings-on at Blizzard said. One of those people told me that theteam wasn’t yet ready to commit to an announcement, ashas changed drastically over the past four years and may continue to change further. (We’ve heard it’s gone through at least two different iterations under different directors.)
