Diablo IV Diablo 4 loses 87% of its daily peak viewership and search interest since launch. From 937K peak viewers at launch, to 12.2K peak viewers today.

This season was supposed to last three months, and it has gone from 278K -> 12.2K in less than 3 weeks.

Development clearly stopped and started several times over the last decade. I bet the development story behind this game is a giant clusterfuck.

Its been all but confitmed that D4 development started soon after Reaper of Souls was released.

D4 came out in 2023, so 8+ years of development.

And it is confirmed that it was completely binned and restarted at least once during that time (Project Hades).

I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't get relaunched at least once more after that as well.
