BlizzCon 2018 is underway, and surprise, we have a new entry in the Diablo series! It’s just that it might not be to everyone’s tastes.
Diablo Immortal, a new “massively multiplay” mobile game for Android and iOS devices, takes place between Diablo II and Diablo III “with new stories for beloved characters.” Not much more is known in terms of the story, although lead gameplay designer Wyatt Cheng states that the game puts the focus on gameplay. “We want to do it in a way that’s true to Blizzard, putting gameplay first. We want to do it in a way that feels right for Diablo. We are making a full-fledged action-RPG you can play everywhere, with everyone.”
The game is being developed in partnership with Netease, who have worked with Blizzard in the past to operate their online games in China. The gameplay trailer that ran at BlizzCon showed off six familiar character classes in the Necromancer, Wizard, Demon Hunter, Barbarian, Monk, and Crusader.
Currently, you can pre-register for the game on Android on the official site, with iOS devices having their pre-registration to follow soon.
