Blizzard games are set to return to China, thanks to a new agreement with publisher NetEase.
Blizzard and NetEase initially parted ways in January of last year, ending a publishing deal that allowed games such as World of Warcraft, Hearthstone, Overwatch, Diablo and more to be playable in the country.
At this time, the Diablo studio blamed NetEase for this dissolution, claiming it offered a six month extension to NetEase to tide the company over while it tried to source a new long-term partner. NetEase felt differently, however – and local staff reacted by smashing up an orc statue at NetEase’s offices.
