Activision Blizzard announced the delay in a slide titled “Update on Our Pipeline,” saying that while it still plans to “deliver a substantial amount of content” next year, it is now “planning for a later launch for Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 than originally envisaged.”
Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 are being delayed, Activision Blizzard revealed amid today’s earnings report.
Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 will be released in 2022 at the earliest, and could launch much later than that.
Update: In an SEC filing Activision Blizzard confirmed that it was anticipating a financial uplift from the release of Overwatch 2 and Diablo 4 in 2022, but that is no longer the case after the delay.
