Though it may be hard to believe, Blizzard has revealed that the success of Diablo 4 has not taken away from the popularity of Diablo Immortal, and actually ended up boosting it. As you might expect, the general (negative) consensus on Immortal sort of positioned it as the stepping-stone game for Diablo 4; something players were okay spending time with only while they waited for the proper Diablo experience.
That's also what Blizzard thought would happen, as Diablo boss Rod Fergusson revealed.
"One of the things that we were kind of nervous about initially was that when Diablo 4 landed it would sort of cannibalise Immortal, and that everyone was just going to be, 'Oh we're just playing Immortal until Diablo 4 comes out'," Fergusson told RPS at Gamescom.
