A number of Activision Blizzard titles will disappear, following the end of an arrangement with publisher NetEase.
World of Warcraft, Overwatch and Diablo 3 are among the big Activision Blizzard video-games titles that will disappear in China in January 2023.
The games developer and NetEase, the company that provides access to the games in China, have failed to renew their 14-year-old licensing agreement.
All games require a local publisher and licences from the Chinese government to operate there.
Activision said it was looking for alternatives.
In the meantime, new sales would halt in the next few days.
