Common practice for decades in the industry, it has become very controversial in recent years, especially since the case Cyberpunk 2077.
It is obvious to developers that Diablo IV won’t be ready by that date, or at least not in a decent state, if they don’t practice the crunch. Now formalized for June 6, 2023, this date also marks when Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard is supposed to close. If April 2023 seemed consistent with the acceleration of communication around the game, the Microsoft Store would have leaked a completely different date. And, while the Activision-Blizzard takeover continues its course before the European Commission, some developers of Diablo IV denounced the crunch they will face to meet unrealistic deadlines.Ī little earlier in the month, rumors announced a date for the arrival of the title. These are not new, the Californian company having been sued in particular because of harassment. Highly anticipated by players, and in the midst of a promotional campaign, Blizzard’s next action-RPG seems to be suffering from some internal problems.
