Blizzard announces a June 2nd release date for
Diablo Immortal, also revealing
the mobile installment in the Diablo action/RPG series will come to PC. The
Windows version will enter open beta testing at the same time the mobile edition
launches, and will include full crossplay and progression support. Players can
now pre-register for the free-to-play game on
the official website.
There was considerable negative backlash
to
the announcement that this would be a mobile game. We'll see if the news that
"the first Blizzard game designed from the ground up for mobile" is coming to PC
will move the needle on that unhappiness. Here's the
Release Date & PC Announce
Trailer and here's more:
The Worldstone is shattered, and it now falls
to the heroes of Sanctuary to fend off the terrors rising in its wake. Blizzard
Entertainment today announced that beginning June 2, players in most regions
across the world will take up the call to defend against the Burning Hells in
Diablo® Immortal ™, the first Blizzard game designed from the ground up for
mobile, with the remaining regions in Asia-Pacific gaining access a few weeks
later.
In addition to offering an uncompromised AAA experience on mobile, the most
ambitious game released in the Diablo franchise’s 25-year history will enter
into Open Beta on Windows® PC at launch. Diablo Immortal supports both
cross-play and cross-progression, allowing Sanctuary’s heroes to join the fight
with each other regardless of platform while being able to seamlessly transition
between mobile and PC gameplay. The Open Beta on PC will contain all game
features, including cross-play and cross-progression, and upon conclusion all
progress will be
maintained.
