What specific rules the game account violated is not reported. It is also unknown how long the lockdown will last.
Local media noted that the developers of Diablo Immortal faced a relatively light punishment. Formally, they were only banned from writing new posts. Previously published records remained available, and the account itself was not deleted.
However, now it is not entirely clear what will happen with the Chinese release of the game. NetEase, responsible for the release of Diablo Immortal in China, has removed the announcement from its news site. She also did not comment on the blocking of the Weibo account.
Diablo Immortal is due to be released in China on June 23. As of the end of May, it has collected more than 15 million preliminary registrations in the country.
