By Q4, I expect Activision Blizzard to be in a better position than their first financial results, but only time will tell if their games can deliver.With Diablo 4 and Diablo Immortal still being worked on by Activision Blizzard, Diablo 3 has remained the main Diablo for the company, currently on its 23rd season with a number of content available for online players and those that play by themselves.
