Diablo IV was the subject of a DDoS attack, as confirmed by a message on the game’s main menu screen. As a result, players kept getting disconnected from the still-running action-RPG game. line during one of the busiest times of the week.
In a message posted to Blizzard’s customer service account last night, the company said it ” was investigating an issue affecting our authentication servers, which may be causing failed or slow login attempts » and block players from logging in.
In the evening, Blizzard had suffered a “DDoS attack” which prevented players from logging into Diablo 4. It appears that the issue affected most games in Blizzard’s portfolio such as World of Warcraft, as well as Battle.net and in-game stores.” We are currently experiencing a DDoS attack, which may cause high latency and disconnections for some players. We are actively working to resolve this issue “.

The DDoS attack lasted several hours
On Reddit, players have claimed they haven’t been able to play Blizzard’s latest game for at least 10-12 hours. Many players have therefore expressed their anger on social networks, even if the company is not entirely responsible for this problem. Luckily, there’s a good chance you can now log into the game, Blizzard having announced that the DDoS attack had ended.
DDoS attacks are a threat to all games that are only accessible through an online mode. It’s a safe bet that this incident will renew calls for Blizzard to add an offline mode to Diablo IV.
This is not the first time that Diablo 4 has encountered a major problem. A little over a week ago, some players had already had their progress and character deleted following a major outage. These capricious servers had already discouraged many players from continuing their adventure, but we hope that Blizzard will quickly find a solution.
