Blizzard Responds to Accusations that Diablo: Immortal is a Reskin

The recent release of Diablo: Immortal has sparked a heated debate among fans, with some accusing the game of being a reskin or even a farming effort from Blizzard. In response to these allegations, Blizzard has spoken out about their partnership with NetEase and the development process behind Diablo: Immortal.

One of the primary concerns is that Blizzard has outsourced too much of the game's development to NetEase, leading some fans to believe that the final product is not up to par with Blizzard's usual standards. However, in an interview, Hsu, a representative from Blizzard, emphasized the strong partnership between the two companies.

'It feels like one team, even though we're not physically together all the time,' Hsu said. 'From both sides, we can come up with ideas and work on implementation. There's no clear divide - you do this, we do that.'

Despite these assurances, the community remains skeptical, with some popular Blizzard content creators like Kripparian facing backlash for defending Diablo: Immortal. In a recent video, Kripparrian encouraged fans to give the game a chance, but was met with largely negative feedback and accusations of being a 'shill' for Blizzard.

The anger surrounding Diablo: Immortal is reaching unprecedented levels, with some fans even claiming that it's a reskin of an existing NetEase game called Crusaders of Light. However, Blizzard has repeatedly denied these claims, stating that the two games are entirely separate entities.

As the debate continues to rage on, it remains to be seen whether Blizzard can restore the faith of their fans and prove that Diablo: Immortal is more than just a reskin or farming effort. One thing is certain, however - the passion and dedication of the Diablo community will not be silenced anytime soon.
