In addition, in ChinaJoy 2020, a new trailer was shared for the chinese market without the blood and gore, which had new content not seen in the west: a glimpse to the last boss of the Frozen Tundra’s Cavern of Echoes dungeon, a boss from the Kion’s Ordeal, and a view of Baal from the Library of Zoltun Kulle’s caverns of time-like dungeon. Among those changes were updated hi-res 3D models of the Classes - including the Necromancer. The studio, which is based in Taiwan, later started selling a DRM-free version of Devotion on its own storefront.Well, the Diablo Immortal chinese website silently updated a few things during Chinajoy 2020. Publisher Indievent lost its license to sell Devotion in China, leading it to cut ties with developer Red Candle Games, which included a blatant dig at Xi in the game itself. It's not the first time a game developer has run into issues with Chinese regulators over a Winnie the Pooh reference. Engadget has contacted Blizzard for comment. NetEase declined to comment to the Financial Times. China is the biggest gaming market on the planet and not being able to release Diablo Immortal there would likely have a severe impact on the game's expected revenues. According to reports, it raked in $24 million in two weeks as a result of its aggressive approach to monetization. The PC and mobile title debuted in other territories this month. It promised players an 'exclusive thank-you package containing legendary equipment' as a makegood for the delay.

Discussions related to the post were also wiped from the service.Ĭurrently, Diablo Immortal does not have a release date in China, though NetEase still expects to ship the game in the country. In the wake of a screenshot of the post (which read 'why hasn't the bear stepped down?') gaining traction, the official Diablo Immortal Weibo account was banned from posting anything.
