On April 9, according to the online blogger "Bad Review King", the news that NetEase and Blizzard were discussing returning to the mainland market came out again. It is said that the official announcement of Blizzard's return will be released within this week, and NetEase's work is progressing smoothly. In addition, it also included photos of the meeting between NetEase Ding Lei and Blizzard's new CEO, which attracted widespread attention and made "Blizzard's return" the top topic on Weibo's hot search list.
Sina Technology also reported on this matter. NetEase stated that the official announcement of Blizzard’s return to the national server will be made on April 10, but the announcement of this cooperation is mainly responsible for the NetEase Thunder Fire business group, and the confidentiality work is very strict.
At the end of December last year, there were rumors that Blizzard and NetEase would reconcile. At 0:00 on January 24, 2023, all national Blizzard games will officially cease operations. At present, the new national server cooperation method is still under discussion, and the national server will not be launched in the short term.
