Their have already been signs throughout the year that shows us that Blizzard is preparing for something big later, such as revealing to their investors that they have no major plans for 2019. It makes the fans actually look forward to something, and yes having another event on Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch is something to tide us over, but it’s nothing all that new anymore.

Even if they don’t have any gameplay to show us, just the fact that it even exists is more than enough for us at this point. But when it comes time to make that grand reveal for the next entry for Diablo, the company will finally deliver to their fans. Now don’t get me wrong, the company has thrown some smoke and mirrors our way many times at past BlizzCons, and they will probably continue to do that. Worse yet, this was how the Opening Ceremony ended, not on high explosive note, with a sad whimper. If Blizzard wants to recoup themselves, they need to announce Diablo 4 at this years BlizzCon, and I believe that on this basis alone, they will. Of course we’re talking of course about the lack of major announcements, Warcraft III Reforged aside, and Diablo Immortal, a mobile game that was almost universally despised upon its reveal. Some were excited, while others still felt the pain of the previous years fallout. BlizzCon 2019 was finally announced and with it came an assortment of emotions from their fanbase.
