After the State Administration for Market Regulation unconditionally approved Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Activision Blizzard also responded positively, Activision Blizzard official spokesperson said: "We are pleased to see China join dozens of other countries that support the acquisition, and welcome more fair competition in the gaming industry." We are committed to the Chinese market and also have many excellent employees in China, we look forward to bringing more new choices and business contacts to the Chinese market. At the same time, Activision Blizzard's studio in China has also begun to hire local employees, all of which indicates that the day when Blizzard Games National Service reopens is not far away.
Blizzard announced in May that the BlizzCon will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center on November 3-4, the first time the BlizzCon will return to offline after three years, and it is reported that the reopening of the national service will be finalized before this year's BlizzCon Carnival.
Diablo 4 is the focus of Blizzard Entertainment's work in the first half of this year, the game has been unanimously praised by players after its launch, Blizzard Entertainment, which has collapsed for many years, has finally fought a turnaround battle, and Blizzard's new IP masterpiece "Odyssey" that will debut at this year's BlizzCon Carnival is the next key project, and Blizzard Entertainment President Mike has repeatedly hyped up Odyssey on social networking sites. In the past, many people said that taking over Blizzard national service did not make much money, and now the commercial success of Diablo 4 and Odyssey with the same potential have made some domestic companies begin to re-examine the matter of acting as a national server, and the exact news of releasing the national service reopening before the BlizzCon Carnival is also conducive to future publicity and marketing, so some foreign media predict that Warcraft National Service is likely to open the "test" in the form of free play in 2023. Wait for the environmental time to mature in 2024 before the official operation of charging will begin. Some national server players have already begun to discuss whether the progress of the game is synchronized when the national server is reopened.
Wrath of the Lich King Nostalgia Costume P3 stage new regimental crusader trial will open on June 22, P3 stage will last about 4-5 months, if the national uniform reopens at the end of the year, the Lich King's Wrath nostalgic suit should have been opened to the P4 stage ice crown fortress, although the Lich King's Wrath nostalgic suit has many catch-up mechanisms, but let players wearing T7 suits directly enter the T10 regiment Ben is a little unreasonable, Therefore, many players think that after the reopening of the national server, it will catch up with the progress by accelerating the pace of version opening as NetEase took over from Jiucheng as it did in the past, for example, each stage only lasts 2 months, so that the national server will almost catch up with the progress in the nostalgic service opening level 85 (if any). Some players think that the same expansion spans 2 small versions is nothing, and the national server level 80 also skipped NAXX and ULD to open TOC directly. Which way do you prefer?
