NetEase, the company in charge of the development, had a team of 100 programmers working on this game and more than three years of work already done. The company has also been responsible for Diablo Immortal, the adaptation of another of Activision Blizzard's best-known franchises.
The reason for the cancellation of the project, which was known by the code name of Neptune, seems to be in a disagreement on the best way to monetize the development of the game.

For years it has had a trading card game, Hearthstone, which takes advantage of characters and locations from the game. It is also preparing a strategy title that will be released in the coming months.
