After years of waiting, sometimes with suspicion, the community Diablo will finally be able to lay their hands on the final version of Diablo Immortal, which will be released this Thursday, June 2 in France. But this launch will not take place everywhere in the world, since our Belgian and Dutch neighbors will not have access to the game, since Belgium and the Netherlands have much more regulated rules on the concept of lootboxes.
Lootboxes deprive the game of a release in several countries
For several years now, the countries of the European Union have been tightening their laws regarding lootboxes, as we have seen with Fifa or Star Wars Battlefront IIand it’s no surprise that Blizzard confirms today to Eurogamer thatin order to comply with the laws of Belgium and the Netherlands, Diablo Immortal will not be available in these territories :
” Diablo Immortal will not be available in Belgium or the Netherlands, and will not appear on Battle.net or the Belgian and Dutch app or Google Play Store. This is related to the current gaming operating environment in these countries. Therefore, pre-registrations for the game are not available in these markets. »
In France, the game will be available from June 2. To learn more, do not hesitate to consult our complete article on the launch of Diablo Immortal.
