Though NetEase won't be involved with the majority of Blizzard titles moving forward, it is still co-developer and publisher of Diablo Immortal in China, which exists thanks to a separate agreement between Blizzard and NetEase. The end of Blizzard and NetEase's agreement has been messy, with Simon Zhu, president of NetEase Global Investment, writing on LinkedIn that 'One day, when what has happened behind the scene could be told, developers and gamers will have a whole new level of understanding of how much damage a jerk can make.'Ī Warcraft mobile MMO that was reportedly in development at NetEase for several years was reportedly canceled as a result of Blizzard and NetEase being unable to come to financial terms.

'Also, with this feature, everyone will be able to keep their game history and memory in their own hands.'

'We expect that the transition to the new partner for the World of Warcraft CN service will go smoothly,' Hight's statement reads. Warcraft general manager John Hight in a recent statement (via Wowhead) announced that Blizzard is still looking for new distribution partners in China and that the process 'will continue until we find a suitable solution.' In the meantime, Blizzard will move forward with the unusual move of developing a feature that will allow Chinese players to download and save all of their characters, items, and progress in Blizzard's MMO onto their own personal devices, to be used at some future point when WoW becomes available in China once more under a new distribution partner.
