People weren’t exactly thrilled about Gears POP! or Blades, but they also didn’t get mad about them because they weren’t being presented as the main event. Like Bethesda, Nintendo had essentially nothing to show for that announcement, but the knowledge that bigger games existed at all was apparently enough. Even Nintendo used this tactic last year, showing nothing more than a logo for Metroid Prime 4 before announcing the 3DS remake Metroid: Samus Returns – and we haven’t heard anything about Metroid Prime 4 since then, but fans at least know it's coming. Is it jumping on the bandwagon that has left the station a long time ago? Sure, but it’s a tongue-in-cheek jab that’s a great way to kick off the New Year.Microsoft had a similar moment at E3, announcing the Gears POP! mobile game right before Gears 5. THQ Nordic retweeted the announcement with the now-infamous lines from Blizzcon 2019. The game will be arriving on mobile devices via the App Store and Google Play, on January 21. Recently, developer HandyGames announced that they would be porting the recent SpongeBob video game, Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated. One attendee’s questioning if Diablo Immortal was an early April Fool’s joke has also been turned into a humorous meme.īut, the last people you’d expect to join in a joke would be a major publisher like THQ Nordic. The conference was regarded as terrible, with the presenters trying their best to do damage control while on stage, which has led to the now-infamous “Do You Guys Not Have Phones?” meme. To say that fans and attendees at the convention weren’t too please with the event would be an understatement. Back in 2019, Activision Blizzard made a historically bad mistake in announcing a new Diablo game was in the works, and it would be arriving on smartphones on stage at Blizzcon.
