The story
Multiple pieces of new information were announced at BlizzCon 2026. Reveals included a new hero joining ‘Heroes of the Storm,’ a Netflix anime series based on ‘Diablo’ currently in production, and a new ‘StarCraft’ open-world shooter slated for spring 2030 — on top of that, ‘Diablo IV’ is set to add a new class, the Amazon, in the first half of next year. On the thread, the fact that Microsoft had stripped the PS5 logo from its promotional materials touched off an argument between Xbox fans and PlayStation fans over whether this signals an Xbox exclusive or is just an omission in labeling.

TES
Fallout
Doom
Diablo
Starcraft
Warcraft
Crash
Kojima
etc.
None of these are playable on PS anymore? For real?
Now that Asha's calling the shots, FH6 got pushed to some unannounced date in 2027, and since they're all-in on exclusives it probably won't ever come to PS.
Some folks were dying to play it, but looks like that was pointless.
If you want to play it, just buy an Xbox already.
No problem
PS still has Space Bald Guy, FairGame$, BBA20, Horizon Online (redone from scratch), and China Hero Project games waiting in the wings.
PlayStation goes extinct in 2029.
No way it lasts that long.
Disc format gets discontinued in 2028.
They won't call it a withdrawal outright — it'll just fade out.
Right now they're in the final stage of debt restructuring.
They'll only report earnings beats so they don't spook shareholders.
Even an idiot should be able to see that much.
The new class coming in the first half of next year is the Amazon.
The Amazon, huh.
Rumor was that Diablo III's world was coming as DLC, but turns out it's II's.
Season 15 starts the day after tomorrow, and people have been saying for a while that a Switch 2 version is timed to go with it.
Yeah, the Amazon's coming in the first half, but whether that's tied to a DLC isn't clear — might not be DLC at all.
Guess we'll find out the details later.
You should all buy one too.
I'll just play it on PC!
Asha: 'Blizzard, make Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft.'
Thanks, Asha.
Obvious as it sounds, if nobody cracks the whip they'll just drag their feet on making games forever.
Someone's got to play enforcer.
IV came out in '23 and V's planned for '29 — that's a 6-year gap, so calling it 'already' feels off.
B-but I can't play Wolverine!!
'Even if you go multiplatform, don't put other consoles' logos on it!!!!'
↓
Asha (5ch's nickname for Microsoft/Xbox):
'Got it, I'll stop putting the logo on.'
↓
Chika-kun:
'There's no PS5 logo on Diablo V, what are you gonna do about that lolololol'
↓
Asha:
'You told me not to put the logo on so I didn't — but the press materials do list it as multiplatform—'
↓
Chika-kun:
'IT'S AN XBOX EXCLUSIVE AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!'
We are here.
Even if you lie about it, it won't change the fact that PlayStation goes extinct in 2029.
Sad but true — that's the console war for you.
Congrats on PS5's withdrawal 🤭
The platform itself is dead, so it's not coming to PS5.
The fact that you're copy-pasting some obscure leak says it all, lol.
Serves you right 🤪
Marathon's multiplatform too, though.
It's to plant the impression that PlayStation's going extinct.
Chika-kun is the one who kept screaming 'don't put the logo on!!!' at Asha in the first place
And now he's celebrating 'no logo means exclusive!!!' — that's rich lolol
Tremble and lose sleep counting down to PlayStation's extinction in '29, lolol
You can keep switching your poster ID, but your garbage writing style gives you away, you know?
You're trying to make it look like a bunch of people are running a smear campaign, but it's just you fighting all alone, huh. Pathetic lololololol
PC's fine honestly — PC is Xbox's real enemy.
Wait lolol
You were getting all excited thinking it was an Xbox exclusive for nothing? lolololol
Asha wins this one on strategy 💕
Classic Asha 💕
This is exactly why I can't stop watching Chika-kun lolol
Asha's 'false-hope' strategy, total success 💕
Alright, I'm off then, lolol
You can tell a million lies and it still won't change the fact PlayStation goes extinct in 2029, lol
Also, it's Sunday today lolol — going to go sulk and sleep it off now?
It was rapturous applause for the campaign basically saying 'PlayStation's pulling out, so if you want to play, buy the next-gen Xbox.'
Game Pass isn't just about that, you know?
It's nothing but a backlog of games I haven't gotten to plus ones I actually want to play — honestly, I'm grateful for it.
Background and Key Points of This Topic
The backdrop here is that, ever since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard in 2023, how the company would handle its titles — including Diablo and StarCraft — has repeatedly come up in related 5ch threads. The ‘logo controversy’ driving this latest argument comes down to a split between those who see the missing PS5 logo on promotional materials as proof of an exclusive, and those who see it as simply an omission in labeling — no official announcement of exclusivity has actually been made. It’s also worth noting that predictions floated in the thread, like ‘PlayStation will be extinct by 2029,’ are purely speculation from an anonymous message board, with no official information backing them up.
