This week’s long-awaited launch of Diablo Immortal has reportedly been scrapped in both Belgium or the Netherlands, due to the countries’ laws around loot boxes.
An Activision Blizzard Benelux communications manager confirmed the move to Dutch news site Tweakers, GamesIndustry.biz has reported, and cited “the current operating conditions in these countries”. Eurogamer has contacted Activision Blizzard here in the UK for comment.
Pre-registration for the game’s mobile launch and PC beta has also now been withdrawn in both countries, it’s been claimed.
