On the 12th, Activision Blizzard announced that "Diablo IV recorded $666 million in sales within 5 days of its release (approximately 848 billion won), breaking company records." 'Diablo IV' was officially released on June 6th.

The sales volume of 'Diablo IV' was not revealed in this announcement. Since the local US price of the Diablo IV standard edition is $69.99, a simple calculation estimates that approximately 9.5 million copies were sold. This estimate does not reflect exchange rates by country, sales of the Deluxe Edition, and merchandise due to lack of information.

Blizzard Entertainment CEO Mike Ybarra said, “I would like to express my gratitude to the millions of players around the world who are immersed in Diablo IV. We will listen to player feedback and do our best to ensure that Diablo IV exceeds user expectations for years to come.”

Blizzard also released Diablo IV play statistics. The time players spent in Sanctuary exceeded 276 million hours, which is more than 30,000 years of playtime. Since early access, the number of demons killed is 276 billion, which is 35 times the world's population. Players have died more than 316 million times. More than 5 million heroes have died to the Butcher. In addition, 163 heroes have reached the maximum level in Hardcore mode.

Meanwhile, Blizzard is currently finishing the development of 'Diablo IV' Season 1 and is developing Season 2. The first expansion pack is also in the works, and the second expansion pack is in the early stages of development.
