"On one hand, we felt that we wouldn’t be doing the title justice by releasing a game originally designed for mobile on PC, on the other hand, we wanted to make sure the game reached as many players as possible-especially our most dedicated PC fans," Blizzard explained. Instead of responding to fans' desires for the game to be on the platform, they announced that the decision was made because they thought they wouldn't be able to do the game "justice" on mobile and that players would likely all attempt to emulate it. Following this, developers targeted a launch in 2022 for the final version of the game.īut what's curious is, the reason behind Blizzard's about-face when it comes to releasing the game on PC. Additionally, the PC version will add controller and keyboard support, so you can play the game you prefer without having to change things up.įollowing its public beta test period, Cheng and senior system designer Kris Zierhut announced they would be making several changes to the game based on player feedback, such as refined controller support, evaluation of the "Boon of Plenty" microtransactions, and the consolidation of clans and "Dark Houses" into one entity. Players who previously participated in the public beta testing phase will be able to retain their progress, so there's one boon to having jumped into the game early, even if mobile devices weren't exactly the preferred mode of play. When the game debuts across devices, Diablo Immortal will feature cross-play and cross-progression. It's set following the events of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, and is meant to introduce a rotation of new characters, story content, and additional goodies as part of a "living, breathing, and constantly evolving experience."

Diablo Immortal is, at its core, a free-to-play mobile MMORPG that requires players to remain online.
