The Diablo Xbox Series X console is just the latest special-edition system that Microsoft made in partnership with a popular brand. Before this, there was the Shang-Chi Xbox Series X and a Far Cry 6 system, both of which were also only available through giveaways.
Diablo II Resurrected launches on September 23 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. Blizzard is going big to promote the game, recently recruiting Simu Liu and Winston Duke for live-action commercials.
The launch of Diablo II Resurrected comes amidst the ongoing lawsuit against Activision Blizzard over the sexual harassment and discrimination against women. The publisher is also facing an investigation from the SEC, which has submitted subpoenas to management, including CEO Bobby Kotick, calling for documents and other details to be turned over.
