On the one hand, it’s easy to assume that NetEase isn’t going to take care of the IP the way that Blizzard would. And it’s their previous title, Crusaders of Light, that fans fear was used as the base for Immortal. I’m talking about the fact that Immortal comes from a Chinese development house named NetEase that specializes in mobile games. Tied-in with that is the fact that said mobile title is not even made by Blizzard. Plainly, Immortal looks like it might be a simple re-skin of a mobile title that already exists. Then there’s the other issue with the game. After all, no one was asking for a mobile Diablo of any kind, least of all one that actually fits into the canon, telling an (assumedly) important story. One attendee at BlizzCon even asked presenters if the reveal was an out of season April Fool’s joke in the Q & A segment. While the reaction definitely didn’t make the fanbase look great, I think it’s also understandable. As for platforms, it’ll be appearing on Android and iOS-centric devices. I actually like the way it’s looking, and I have a feeling that if it was presented as a press release instead of a BlizzCon focal point, the reaction would have been very different. There you’ll be able to take on the role of one of the series’ staple classes, like the Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, or Wizard.Īccording to Blizzard, Immortal will feature a full suite of touch-controls including a direction “pad”. The game will allow players to team up or go it alone in what sounds like an open-world version of Sanctuary, with Westmarch serving as a central hub. Here’s a look at the barbarian in action:ĭiablo Immortal is a mobile aRPG MMO. What are your thoughts on Diablo Immortal? Do you like the idea of a spinoff for the popular PC (and console) series of aRPGs? Or, like seemingly everyone who’s not in the press, do you hate it? Either way, it’s apparently coming your way, and it doesn’t look bad from the teaser trailers. If you’re unaware of what this is, then all you have to know is that Blizzard announced a mobile Diablo game at BlizzCon last week.
