Blizzard Confirms DDoS Attack Causing Connection Errors For Diablo 4, WoW, & Overwatch 2

For the past few hours, multiple games that operate on Battle.Net have been encountering severe connection issues, preventing players from getting into their favorite games. The most notably affected ones have been Diablo 4, World of Warcraft, Overwatch 2, and Call of Duty, hampering players from jumping into these services over the weekend.

For anyone who regularly plays games that require a Battle.net account, it’s highly recommended to follow this account to receive live updates and any notifications about future problems.
