On Nov. 2, 2021, Activision-Blizzard released a statement regarding two of their highly-anticipated upcoming titles, Diablo IV and Overwatch 2. Citing a need to focus on more development time, the team at Activision-Blizzard specifically pointed out these two titles as needing more time "than originally envisaged." Despite two of their biggest titles getting delayed, Activision-Blizzard says these choices are "the right course of action for our people, our players, and the long-term success of our franchises."
