‘Diablo Immortal’ Trailer Details New Development Goodies
Amidst the reveal of Diablo IV, World of WarCraft, Overwatch 2 and the usual stuff Blizzard puts on at BlizzCon, they’ve also released a new trailer for “that game”, the upcoming mobile-based Diablo Immortal.
The trailer also functions as a development update for the title, showing off new classes (namely the Demon Hunter), moves, costumes, and items. The trailer also reveals new areas to explore in the game. As for when it’ll be ready, Blizzard isn’t saying much, although the posting on their website explains that Diablo Immortal is still taking “significant time to meet the Blizzard quality level we’re aiming for”.
Whatever the case, Diablo Immortal will be available for iOS and Android devices.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
