Diablo 4 development plagued by chaos and mismanagement, now aiming for 6th June release claims new report
A new investigation into Diablo 4's development has painted a picture of chaos and mismanagement at Activision Blizzard, reportedly resulting in a dash to meet a release date - said to be 6th June next year - that staff believe is"unlikely" to be met without"many hours of overtime or cut features".
One version of his revised script, written in 2019, is said to have"repeatedly mentioned the rape of a love interest and referred to this female character as the raped woman as her primary description". Two employees recall a line in the script saying,"And then she was raped, brutally." Interviewees say the inclusion of sexual assault was added merely to make a"grittier and tonally darker" Diablo,"rather than engaging with the subject in a sensitive way.
Activision eventually move to bring Vicarious Visions, now known as Blizzard Albany, onto the project, but the process of merging the teams is said to have been"bumpy", given the latter's relative inexperience with Diablo and the"few plans" in place to integrate the two.
