Diablo 4 has officially become the fastest selling game of all time, at least for Blizzard. The studio announced that the latest ARPG sold a lot of copies across PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
Exact numbers were not shared by Blizzard, only that it sold fast. Fast like Sonic, an IP that Blizzard doesn't own but is relevant to this news. The sales were probably helped tremendously by the fact that this release occurred across five platforms and two console generations. It also probably helps that Diablo 4 has reviewed quite well.
“This is a moment years in the making for the Diablo IV team,†said Rod Fergusson, general manager of Diablo. “We’re extremely proud to offer players the richest story ever told in a Diablo game. Players have a range of choices, including personal character customization, equipping personalized skills for battling horrific demons, or collecting Legendary loot to support your playstyle while discovering new ones. Since the game was first announced in 2019, the support from millions of players around the world drove us toward this release of our dark vision of Sanctuary. Hail Lilith, Blessed Mother.â€
Diablo 4 is set 50 years after the events of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls. It's got five classes, a big ol' game world, over 120 dungeons, world bosses, strongholds, and more.
