Blizzard has addressed the rumors that Diablo 3 is getting cross-play support. Although the developer knows of players` excitement, it confirmed Diablo 3 cross-play isn`t in the works at all right now.`While we love the idea of bringing our players together across platforms, we do not have any plans to implement cross-platform gameplay for Diablo at this time,` a Blizzard rep told Comic Book. Diablo 3 exists on several different platforms, including consoles from two different generations. With Sony`s decision to try console cross-platform play with Microsoft and Nintendo in Fortnite, some players have looked to other games that could benefit from cross-play. With Diablo 3 on so many platforms, it`s been a popular candidate.Prior to Comic Book`s confirmation, in an interview with Business Insider, a Blizzard rep said that Diablo 3 cross-platform play was `a question of when, not if.` This led to several rumors that the dungeon crawler role-playing game would be supporting cross-play soon. Some theorized the feature might be announced at this year`s BlizzCon, but--much like Diablo: Reign of Terror being a new game--it doesn`t look like that`s the case.Blizzard previously released a statement that there were several Diablo projects in the works. The first one, Diablo 3 coming to Nintendo Switch, has already been announced. However, Blizzard has not revealed what the other projects might be. `Some of them are going to take longer than others, but we may have some things to show you later this year,` said community manager Brandy Camel.BlizzCon 2018 starts November 2.
