Diablo 4 is a real hit and Blizzard is rubbing its hands even before the real festivities are launched. The game has just opened the door to hell by breaking a very big record for the license. A first for the franchise, but also for the publisher for that matter.
Diablo 4 is now available worldwide and for everyone since June 6, 2023, a little earlier for players who have put their hands in the wallet to get early access. Despite a few bugs at launch and servers that found a way to falter a few hours later, everything seems to be going pretty well for Blizzard’s new monster.
Diablo 4 sets a new record!
In reality, everything is going very, very well. A few days ago, we reported to you that Blizzard was pleased to atomize all records with its Diablo 4. The game is indeed the best-selling of all the titles of the license over the same period. It even signs the best start in the history of Blizzard, all games combined. This is to say how this new opus is a hit. I have to say that Diablo 4 was highly anticipated.
After a Diablo Immortal which will have caused a lot of talk, Blizzard was watched very closely. But in the end, it’s a success. If the publisher has still not given us a precise figure regarding sales, he is having fun telling us that in 5 short days, Diablo 4 crossed the infernal milestone of 666 million dollars. A colossal sum, and fun, amassed in less than a week and above all, even before the battle pass and the first seasonal events have arrived.
At present, the store of Diablo 4 contains only cosmetic elements. Skins for equipment of different character classes or for mounts. Nothing too transcendent. In the future, a battle pass should be integrated, it should offer free but also paid content like all battle passes of the genre.
Diablo 4 will work with a seasonal system mixing new features that have become standard everywhere on the market, and its own seasonal mechanics implemented since Diablo 3. To see now how all this will fit together, see you in a few weeks for season 1!
