As the gaming industry continues to grow, it is no surprise that Diablo IV has become Blizzard Entertainment’s fastest-selling game. Still, it’s only fitting that sales figures should be provided. However, they didn’t…

Since the game was first announced in 2019, the support from millions of players worldwide drove us toward this release of our dark vision of Sanctuary. Hail Lilith, Blessed Mother.”

Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra added, “Our vision at Blizzard is to create legendary experiences for all to share, and Diablo IV is an incredible realization of that vision. With highly customizable gameplay, gripping storytelling, and plenty of options around engaging with the world, this masterfully crafted expression of the Diablo universe is an outstanding example of what our talented development teams are capable of. Whether you’re a series veteran or diving into Sanctuary for the first time, we welcome players to the global launch of Diablo IV.”
