Original story (published on December 15, 2021) follows:

Battle.net is the multiplayer platform on which several of Blizzard’s most popular titles depend. Through it, players can find matches, interact with other players, etc.

Having said the above, in the last few hours, many game users who depend on the servers of the aforementioned platform report serious problems with it.

More specifically, it seems that the Battle.net servers are down or not working, and many of the games developed by Blizzard cannot be enjoyed at this time (1, 2).

Blizzard Battle.net down or not working at this moment

According to multiple reports, the Blizzard Battle.net servers are actually down. So, all the games that depend on it are not playable.

The above does not only apply to games developed directly by Activision Blizzard. There are games developed by others that are distributed by them, but also depend on Battle.net, such as Call Of Duty (on PC).

Downdetector platform reflects the big server crash

The downdetector platform currently reflects the downfall of Battle.net servers. In addition to Call of Duty, this affects titles like World of Warcraft, Overwatch, Heartstone, and Diablo (1, 2, 3, 4).

At this time, there has been no official statement from Activision Blizzard about the down on Battle.net servers. Therefore, it is not yet known if they are aware of the reports.

So, affected players can only wait for the growing number of complaints to finally reach the ears of those in charge at Battle.net. And, that the issue does not take long to be resolved.

After all, some of the biggest multiplayer titles in the industry depend on the Battle.net servers. Therefore, a fall must be treated as urgently as possible.
