Blizzard's games will make a comeback in China this summer following a hiatus of nearly a year and a half. Microsoft, who now owns Blizzard, has teamed up with NetEase to also bring NetEase games to Xbox and other platforms.
For those unaware, Blizzard's games were taken off the market in China in January 2023 due to issues in the publishing deal with NetEase. However, a new agreement has been reached, allowing Chinese players to once again enjoy games such as Overwatch, Diablo, and World of Warcraft.
"We at Blizzard are thrilled to reestablish our partnership with NetEase and to work together, with deep appreciation for the collaboration between our teams, to deliver legendary gaming experiences to players in China," stated Johanna Faries, President of Blizzard Entertainment. "We are immensely grateful for the passion the Chinese community has shown for Blizzard games throughout the years, and we are focused on bringing our universes back to players with excellence and dedication."
