For Blizzard fans out there, the next few months are going to be quite the treat. Not only is the company launching Diablo Immortal in June but also its first Warcraft-based mobile game in May. Blizzard even confirmed an event to unveil the details about the latter.

It looks like Instagram has given up on its attempt to capture the long-form video market following the company’s move to kill off the IGTV standalone app. In an official blog post on Monday (28 February 2022), Instagram confirmed that it is discontinuing support for the IGTV app thus ending the service as a whole. RIP!
