In celebration of the launch and in gratitude to the more than
35 million people who pre-registered for Diablo Immortal, all
players who log in to the game and complete the tutorial within the
next 30 days will be able to deck out their characters to battle
demons in style with the ceremonial Horadrim Cosmetic Set.*
“We’re thrilled to now be able to put the newest entry in the
Diablo series in players’ hands,” said Mike Ybarra, president of
Blizzard Entertainment. “The visceral gameplay, dark story, and
depth of character customization that Diablo is known for are all
here in Diablo Immortal. And with this being a AAA free-to-play
Blizzard game, it was important to us to give players a full and
highly engaging core game experience—including upcoming features,
character classes, story, and more—completely free.”
As a massively multiplayer online action-RPG, Diablo Immortal
enables players to experience the game solo or together with any of
the fellow adventurers they encounter on their journeys through
Sanctuary. Players can explore, conquer, and socialize in all new
ways in the first MMOARPG set in the Diablo universe. Traverse the
lands of Sanctuary while racing to keep the power of creation out
of the hands of the Burning Hells. Players can form a Warband to
test their endurance in eight-player raids, join a Clan, or simply
craft, trade, and interact with other players in the busy city of
Westmarch. All while amassing enough skill and power to conquer
their server in the Cycle of Strife, where they will ultimately
fight in brutal 1v30 battles to earn the title of Immortal.
Blizzard’s mobile-first experience is also on Windows® PC via
Battle.net® in Open Beta, allowing players to adventure between
platforms with cross-play and cross-progression without skipping a
beat—player progress will not be reset at the end of Open Beta,
allowing for uninterrupted demon-slaying. On top of the
hand-crafted fluid touch controls on mobile and both WASD movement
and traditional Diablo point-and-click functionality on PC, Diablo
Immortal features integrated controller support regardless of what
platform players prefer.
Choose from six iconic classes, explore eight zones, and
experience an epic story set between Diablo II and Diablo III in a
free-to-play game. And this is just the beginning. Players can
revel in fresh content added every few months, including new
dungeons, zones, seasons, classes, and even live in-game events.
Diablo Immortal is setting the stage for a truly epic new era of
demon-slaying.
