Apple Silicon Native Version of Battle.net app

Hi! I’m an avid Blizzard fan and I just so happen to play my Blizzard games on Macs.

I happen to have one of the new Apple Silicon Macs with the M1. I’m wondering if there are plans for an Apple Silicon native (be it a Universal Binary or standalone) release of either the Blizzard/Battle.net app launcher.

If the PowerPC to Intel transition is any indication of things to come, Apple will very likely deprecate Rosetta 2 (and, with it, the ability to run any Intel Mac binaries) eventually leaving our ability to run Blizzard games that are not WoW: Shadowlands in limbo.

Are there plans to update any other Blizzard Mac games/apps to support the new architecture, or was WoW: Shadowlands the only one? And if the former case, will the Battle.net app be among them?

Thank you to any blues that reply!

I hope Blizzard can help us!

Blizzard is steadily dropping games and support for Apple. Overwatch and D2R are examples - Windows ONLY ! Don’t expect Diablo 4 to be available om Mac’s !
