FULL STORY ======================================================================

Blizzard has announced that Diablo 4 is its best-selling game of all time.

Gothic action RPG Diablo 4 has been extremely well received, earning a place among the best RPGs of recent years. In a press release , Blizzard Entertainment announced that Diablo 4 is its fastest-selling game of all
time, with [our] highest pre-launch unit sales ever both on console and PC.

This is a moment years in the making for the Diablo 4 team, said Rod Fergusson, Diablos general manager. 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.

Our vision at Blizzard is to create legendary experiences for all to share, added Mike Ybarra, Blizzard President. With highly customizable gameplay, gripping storytelling, and plenty of options around how to engage with the world, this masterfully crafted expression of the Diablo universe is an outstanding example of what our talented development teams are capable of.

Blizzard announced that, since the games Early Access launched on June 1, Diablo 4 has been cumulatively played for 93 million hours that's more than 10,000 years. Thats the same amount of time it would take to build 663 Big Bens, 4890 Eiffel Towers, or the Giza Pyramids 530 times over.

Speaking of landmarks, somewhat strangely, Blizzard has yet to announce exactly how well Diablo 4 has sold. The press release doesnt give any
specific figures indicating exactly how many units have been shifted nor how many players have taken to the delightfully macabre overworld of Sanctuary.

Though we can but guess as to the exact number of units Blizzard has sold so far, its clear that the latest entry in the Diablo series has acquitted
itself extremely well in the eyes of both critics and fans.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Diablo 4 s success comes in the form of its combination of slick multiplayer systems . Its one thing to have a well-designed open-world experience , but its another to be able to share
that experience with friends. Diablo 4 s nature lends itself to meaningful community building a fact that may well give the title some serious staying power.
