Diablo Immortal Hits Mobile Devices And PC This June With Crossplay And Cross-Progression

Blizzard announced that Diablo Immortal MMOARPG Diablo will be finally released on mobile devices June 2, and surprise, in open beta for PC on the same day. 

First announced in 2018, Diablo Immortal is not just the first Diablo game to hit mobile devices – iOS and Android – but it’s also the first MMO for the series. Blizzard also announced that Diablo Immortal would feature crossplay, cross-progression and can be ended on PC from your smartphone and picked up right where you left off on the PC. Diablo Immortal will become available across most regions on June 2. Some regions in Asia Pacific may gain access later. 

“The demons of the Burning Hells are ready to be slain in the most expansive Diablo game that Blizzard has ever released,” Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra said. “As Blizzard’s first game designed from the ground up for mobile, it was important to us to deliver an experience worthy of the franchise, so we did a lot of testing, incorporated a lot of feedback, and created a game that we’re very excited to share with players. We’re looking forward to unleashing this epic new entry in the Diablo franchises, and we can’t wait to join everyone in Sanctuary.” 

While the PC version of Diablo Immortal will be in open beta on June 2, Blizzard says this version of the game “will contain all features, including crossplay and cross-progression, and upon conclusion, all progress will be maintained.” Diablo Immortal game director Wyatt Cheng and Diablo’s franchise head, Rod Fergusson, sat down with Game Informer to talk about today’s news, including the PC open beta, the first-ever PvP experience in Diablo, the game’s story, and more. Watch the new Diablo Immortal gameplay on New Gameplay Today to listen to this interview. 

“Diablo Immortal features an MMOARPG social experience that’s completely new to the series,” a press release reads. “Players will share a massive world with others as they explore Sanctuary, form Warbands with up to eight members to take on group challenges such as the intense Helliquary raid bosses, and join Clans with up to 150 friends to earn challenging Clan Achievements. There is also a strong faction-based system for PvP.

Players can join forces to wage an ongoing war with the Cycle of Strife. The top server player will win the Eternal Crown, which allows them to lead the Immortals. This puts them in the position of having to continuously defend their reign across a series of modes including brutal 1v30 showdowns.” 

Diablo Immortal will be available for Android and iOS users on June 2, as a free-to play MMOARPG. It will also be available in Open Beta on PC that day. The game will offer optional in-game purchase options. You can listen to the game’s director talk about those purchases here. 

“Over 30 million players have already pre-registered across all platforms to gain access as soon as the game launches, preparing themselves for the battles to come,” a press release reads. “All players will receive the stunning Horadrim Cosmetics Set to celebrate this significant milestone when the game launches. This is just the beginning, as new content will be released regularly to players for free in the years to come, including new zones, dungeons, and character classes.”
