Unlikely: Blizzard – Diablo 4? Something in Starcraft?
Blizzard also belongs to Activision, the publisher of Destiny. Therefore, it’s unlikely they could compete with Destiny. However, it’s not completely out of the question.
Blizzard is known for discovering current “hype genres” and then capturing market dominance with a polished and well-thought-out game. This has worked with hack-and-slash (Diablo), MMORPGs (World of Warcraft), team shooters (Overwatch), and online card games (Hearthstone); why not with MMO shooters as well?
But: Three points speak against Blizzard working on such a game and presenting it at E3:
It appears that the new project will be more of a mobile game.
It is unlikely to hear anything about it at E3. For major announcements, Blizzard has its own event, Blizzcon in November.
Furthermore, Blizzard failed miserably with the last “mammoth project” Titan and seems to want to scale down their next games significantly. A Destiny competitor would not fit into this strategy.
This is an AI-powered translation. Some inaccuracies might exist.
