NetEase and Blizzard in talks to renew partnership

Posted by Medievaldragon | Dec 26, 2023 | World of Warcraft News | 0 |

A year after NetEase and Blizzard parted ways, ending most of their game services except Diablo Immortal, both companies have renewed discussions to restore services for World of Warcraft and other games back in China — now that the Microsoft acquisition has concluded.

This process might take at least half a year in order to rebuild an operations team and test servers.
