Microsoft Activision Blizzard buyout and Diablo 4
The shock announcement that Microsoft is planning a buyout of Activision Blizzard has led a lot of Diablo fans to panic that the franchise may become an Xbox exclusive.
Luckily, in Microsoft’s recent blog, they’ve confirmed that this will not be the case and that Blizzard’s titles will still be coming to their usual platforms.
“Activision Blizzard games are enjoyed on a variety of platforms and we plan to continue to support those communities moving forward.”
This should definitely put the Diablo PlayStation fanbase at rest and of course, it means there’s no need to rush out to buy an Xbox ahead of the game’s release.
