One more thing, 5-stars is for the amazing stories in the comment section. Don’t stop, for I will keep reading and hope you will keep writing. Now that it has become a habit for me to check in at the comment section here, I hope that the vast number of gamers keep sharing their amazing stories. Even more so than the game itself!! (/sarcasm) It’s the comment section’s stories are so intriguing that they attract me so much, so that I would have tears streaming down my cheeks - not knowingly– while reading them. GeoffreyWu: Ever since I started following DI, I would come here to take a look every day, not to check the game-dev progress. I am watching news regarding Shanghai ChinaJoy and poking around to see if there will be demos or new content releases. Official Account: Sorry for the long wait, Hero… Blizzard’s latest news is that DI is preparing for testing. Didn’t you guys say you have the copyrights? Didn’t you say it’s the original developer team? All lies? 大攀: Diablo V is gonna be released soon bro, it’s gonna be too late by the time DI is released. Official Account: Thank you Hero for your attention on DI, I am here with you waiting for the moment DI is released. 小獾獾: I’ll add the other four stars when the game is released. Official Account: Sorry about the long wait…now that everyone knows you are married, you should take the responsibility to become a good husband and good parent, let me be the one to wait for DI, and rest assured, you won’t have to wait till becoming a grandpa to play (this) game. Nice! /sarcam Perhaps, when I finally retire and become a grandpa, I can set everything else aside and game… Will you wait for me till then, DI? I told myself that might be a sign that perhaps games and love-life can co-exist and now… I just became a father, and just as I am troubled over whether I will still have time to play games, I realized that DI is still waiting for me. 轻悠淡远: Had a GF two years ago, and just as I was starting to debate whether I should continue to game, I saw the pre-registration for DI… and signed up right away. Simply don’t feel disappointed or expect announcements with 100% certainty. Keep your eye on these events just in case. It is merely a “possibility” - as much as any of the upcoming: ATVI investors call (Aug 4), or GamesCom (Aug 27). Warning: Diablo Immortal is not confirmed to be showcased at ChinaJoy 2020. Apologies if the translation doesn’t match the image. yIntuition tells me he is not certain if the person responding comments from the Diablo Immortal official account at Tap Tap is a Diablo Immortal community manager or a Tap Tap community manager with access to the account. Update: is kindly translating some of the responses. Tap Tap Diablo Immortal account responses Translation

NetEase and Blizzard are also ChinaJoy 2020 Sponsors as seen at the bottom of this page (image below). NetEase vice president Ethan Wang is also scheduled as a speaker for 7 hours on July 30 at 10am for an unrelated panel, but this shows NetEase has a presence there along with Blizzard Entertainment - who are confirmed to be in attendance. So this is what the Diablo Immortal account “possibly moderator” is referring to. Update: Tap Tap’s Shaoman Lei is a panelist at ChinaJoy 2020. I quickly compared one of the posts for a Before and After… and… Around 10:32am ET, when I refreshed the page I had been browsing for several minutes, it caught my eye that all “ChinaJoy” text within the official account (possibly a Tap Tap moderator) had disappeared. Official Account: “Pay attention to ChinaJoy, maybe there will be some related news and demo there.” One of the comments from the Tap Tap Diablo Immortal account mentions ChinaJoy (update: all mentions of Chinajoy were now removed from the comment): I browsed through the page, and the Tap Tap Diablo Immortal official account hasn’t been this active since 2018, responding comments from those who pre-registered to Diablo Immortal. Tap Tap allows you to pre-register for iOS in Asia. Note: You can’t pre-register for iOS testing in USA. So I am starting to wonder if the “regional testing” is actually Asia testing. This is not currently happening in the Google Play’s Diablo Immortal page (where comments are disabled) and there isn’t one in the iOS App Store yet. I browsed down the page to the comments and found out that the Tap Tap Diablo Immortal account moderator had been very active responding to comments in the past 16 hours and before that. I was about to write an article about how many mobile users have pre-registered to play Diablo Immortal in Asian markets when I got a surprise sighting that turned the article title around.
