Blizzard Entertainment has poured cold water on reports that the popular dungeon crawler would be getting cross-play support in the near future.

The World of Warcraft developer was responding to a story from last week, where a representative for Diablo III told Business Insider that cross-play support for the game is a 'question of when, not if.'

However, it seems this was a bit of an exaggeration. Speaking with Comic Book, a spokesperson for Blizzard made it clear that nothing is in the pipeline just yet. 

'While we love the idea of bringing our players together across platforms, we do not have any plans to implement cross-platform gameplay for Diablo at this time,' said the rep.

Diablo III: Eternal Collection is hitting Nintendo Switch on November 2, and is already available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Given that Sony has just allowed cross-play support for PS4, it wouldn't be hard to imagine Diablo III getting the feature too. Apparently not.
