Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo 4 had a lot of heavy lifting to do when it launched on June 6 of last year. Not only was it the Diablo series' first foray into an always-online, live-service model, but consumer perceptions and fan goodwill toward Activision/Blizzard were arguably at an all-time low. After a mostly successful launch for Diablo 4 (despite the odd technical hiccup here and there), the game would release its first season just over a month later on July 20, and player perception of the title quickly shifted from cautious optimism to outright disdain almost overnight. But, on its one year anniversary, Diablo 4 might be in its best state ever.
