Discussing Diablo III's specific cloud features on the Switch, the Blizzard associate producer said saves including achievements and campaign progress would go straight to the cloud. How frequently online saves will be backed up is unknown.Ĭederquist also explained how save data in the cloud would be seamlessly transferable to other Nintendo Switch systems - allowing players to continue their session on a friend or family member's device. Speaking to Nintendo Soup, Diablo III Eternal Collection associate producer Matt Cederquist revealed save files for games on the Switch will be automatically uploaded to cloud services on a regular basis, with no manual user action required. Following the Arena of Valor developer Tencent confirming free-to-play games would remain accessible after online services launched on Nintendo's device, Blizzard has now revealed more information about the incoming cloud services. Fortunately, third-party developers aren't being as tight-lipped as Nintendo. I already picked up a physical copy of D3 for the Switch last year ($60 for ‘just in case’) but I think it’s time to actually invest in the Switch itself, before it goes to a new generation of hardware and the older physical games are no longer compatible.As the launch of the Nintendo Switch Online service draws closer, we still know very little about the finer details. While it’s possible Blizzard may make a final offline patch for D3, that’s not something to count on, so I have decided to get a Nintendo Switch in order to always be able to scratch the D3 itch when I get it.
I have been playing D3 on-and-off since release, but much more consistently in the last several years - I also played D1 and D2 when they were released, and played offline solo D2 on-and-off for well over 10 years so I have spent a long time in Sanctuary - losing D3 seasons will be sad, but losing the ability to play D3 at all will be heartbreaking. I hope I am wrong, but I think the writing is on the wall that Blizzard will eventually drop support for D3 entirely: it’s impossible to monetize D3 the way D:I and D4 are/will be, and micotransactions/battle passes seem to be the direction Blizzard wants to take all their games. Bit of background: I’ve been playing the D4 beta this weekend and I’m not too fond of it… I enjoy playing D3 considerably more.
