Blizzard Bringing in More ‘Diablo’ Devs For Several Projects
After the backlash of Diablo Immortal (and the recent layoffs in spite of record profits), Blizzard is having to do a bit of making up for fans.
There have been rumblings of Diablo 4 for quite a long time, and apparently, according to Activision Blizzard COO Coddy Johnson during Activision Blizzard’s quarterly earnings call, the development headcount for the franchise “will grow substantially” as the teams work on several projects underway for the franchise, including Diablo Immortal.
Of course, this also goes back to the rumours that Diablo 2 could see a remaster, as well. Blizzard remains tight-lipped about any of the projects currently in development, but according to Johnson, “overall, Blizzard’s management is reinforcing its pipeline with more resources than ever before to support planned mobile titles, several PC and console releases, and WoW‘s continued cadence of content.”
Diablo Immortal is planned for release on Android and iOS. No release date has been announced as of yet.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
