Video game giant Activision Blizzard on Tuesday said it is delaying eagerly-awaited sequels to its hit Diablo and Overwatch franchises as it deals with upheaval due to workplace conditions.
Delay of the games will come with a delay in the boost they were expected to give Activision Blizzard, executives said on an earnings call with analysts. First-person, team-based shooter game Overwatch was first released five years ago and has grown into a popular esport complete with its own league for competition.
Action role playing game Diablo dates back to 1997, winning loyal fans and taking on renewed life with more current releases.
