With the help of the last Horadrim, Deckard Cain, you'll confront reawakened evils such as the Skeleton King and his Queen, cultists who worship the bloodthirsty Countess, and corrupted rogues once led by Akara. New heroes are all that can stop the world from plummeting into utter chaos.Īdventurers will travel the breadth of Sanctuary to locate the Worldstone shards and finish what Tyrael started.

Yet, even in pieces, the Worldstone’s shards continue to befoul everything in their reach. In a moment of desperation, the archangel Tyrael destroyed the corrupted Worldstone, thinking his sacrifice would be a worthy price to end its dark influence. Five years after the destruction of the Worldstone, Sanctuary is thrown into despair as ancient evils gather and exploit pieces of the artifact, putting humanity in more peril than ever before. Blizzard is promising that there will be six Diablo classes at launch (Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard) as well as regularly introducing new storylines, playable characters and new challenges.Ī release date for Diablo Immortal has not been set, but a beta is expected to launch either later this year or sometime in the early stages of 2019.Diablo Immortal bridges the story between Diablo II and Diablo III. Now sure, people are entitled to take interest on what they please, but this seems like a full Diablo experience, albeit on a mobile platform. Now, it’s one thing to pop your hot takes onto Twitter, but to put this kind of question to a Blizzard representative in front of an auditorium of people, after the team has excitedly announced their new game, is downright disrespectful and disgusting. One fan asked if this announcement was an “out of season April Fool’s joke”. It was another question though that was really unsettling. The dev then asked the crowd if “none of them had mobiles”. The dev responded with the fact that it would only come to mobile only to be faced with a crowd full of boos. One fan asked if the game would come to PC at all or if it were strictly mobile (a great question, albeit delivered with quite a condescending tone).
