Diablo III Eternal Collection Might Not Come Out With Cross-Platform Play, Blizzard Said

While earlier this week Business Insider reported that Blizzard announced them that cross-platform play in Diablo III is under development, yesterday, the company stated its devs ruled out the idea of adding cross-platform play to Diablo III.

Initially, Business Insider said that Blizzard is already in talks with Sony and Microsoft for making their Diablo III Eternal Collection versions compatible with the variant for Nintendo Switch. Yesterday, however, a Blizzard representative contacted DualShockers to reveal that cross-platform play was ruled out for the moment.

“While we love the idea of bringing our players together across platforms, we do not have any plans to implement cross-platform gameplay for Diablo at this time,” the Blizzard Entertainment spokesperson reported for DualShockers.

Diablo III Eternal Collection would come out to Nintendo Switch on November 2nd, 2018, for all regions. It would cost $59.99 for US and Canada. However, as reported by Blizzard, the upcoming title of the popular franchise won’t boast cross-platform play.

Diablo Gamers Community Demanded Cross-Platform Play For Diablo III

Since many variants of Diablo III appeared over the time, the Diablo gamers community demanded cross-platform play for Diablo III Eternal Collection. In reality, cross-play is an increasingly more popular feature, and video games such as Fortnite, Minecraft, and Rocket League, to mention a few, pleased their fans with such a functionality.

However, Blizzard promised to explore the cross-play addition to Diablo III, but, unfortunately, according to the Blizzard’s most recent statements, the company ruled out the idea of implementing cross-platform play into Diable III Eternal Collection, at least for the moment. So, the company indicates that this feature can get in the game later after launch.

As cross-play is a popular feature nowadays, we hope Blizzard would change its mind eventually and add cross-platform play to Diable III Eternal Collection which is set to come out on November 2nd on Nintendo Switch.

World Of Warcraft: Classic To Be Playable on November 2nd

If you’re a World of Warcraft fan, then we have excellent news for you. On November 2nd, World of Warcraft: Classic will be playable at Blizzcon. However, there’s a catch. Namely, you should buy a Virtual Ticket to be able to play the demo.

“Shortly after the Blizzcon opening ceremony on November 2 (on or around 1 PM PDT), players will be able to download the same in-development BlizzCon World of Warcraft: Classic Demo that will be playable on the show floor,” Blizzcon said. “Players will have a chance to explore and enjoy a limited questing experience through a pair of classic early-level zones – one Horde and one Alliance – and experience firsthand our recreation of the original Azeroth,” Blizzard added.

However, the World of Warcraft: Classic servers will go live immediately after the opening ceremony of the Blizzcon, but everyone who remembers the launch of WoW servers knows that there is a waiting time.

World of Warcraft: Classic to be playable on November 2nd until November 8th

In a bonus video released by Blizzard, the game developer confirmed that a World of Warcraft: Classic panel would also be included during the Blizzcon conference. During the meeting, Blizzcon plans to present where they stand with the new game’s progress and what we should expect. Also, Blizzcon will reveal the challenges they had to overcome to the technical difficulties of porting ancient code.

Ion Hazzikostas, the director of the World of Warcraft: Classic game, announced that the demo would be playable from November 2nd until November 8th, but suggested that the period could be extended. On the other hand, Hazzikostas said nothing about the full version’s release date so all we have to do is wait for the Blizzcon conference when the game developer might present us some more details on World of Warcraft: Classic.
