Diablo Immortal<\/em>, the free-to-play Diablo<\/em> game for mobile and PC, was delayed in China last month because of a social media post that could be interpreted as criticism of Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to Bloomberg<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The post, which came from the official Diablo Immortal<\/em> Weibo account, reportedly alluded to Winnie the Pooh<\/a>, who has been banned from the internet in China<\/a> because he is used to make fun of the president. Bloomberg<\/em> says the account has since been suspended for \u201cviolating relevant laws and regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diablo Immortal<\/em> is now set to launch in China on July 25th, though the date could still shift, Bloomberg<\/em> reports. The game, which was co-developed by Blizzard Entertainment and Chinese tech giant NetEase, has been out for more than a month in many countries, but was delayed<\/a> just a few days before its scheduled June 23rd Chinese release. In a short post about the delay on its Chinese website<\/a>, Blizzard said (via a translation from Google Translate) that the development team would be making optimizations to the game but did not reference the social media post.<\/p>\n

Even though Diablo Immortal <\/em>hasn\u2019t come out in China yet, Blizzard said in June that the game had the \u201cbiggest launch in franchise history.\u201d<\/a> But the game has received some criticism for how much it costs to upgrade your character<\/a> and launching with some bugs when playing on Samsung devices with Exynos chips<\/a>.<\/p>\n
