Parent company Activision Blizzard announced this morning that its Q1 revenue was down 22 percent from the previous year. Last week, it announced the next semi-annual expansion for World of Warcraft, while the first closed PvP beta test for Overwatch 2 starts tomorrow. Word of the Diablo: Immortal release date comes at a particularly busy time for Blizzard. However, Blizzard delayed it to 2022 to add some extra polish, including, evidently, on a PC port. There's also controller support on PC.ĭiablo: Immortal was originally supposed to be released last year. The mobile control system allows for simultaneous movement and attacks, which Blizzard says wouldn't be possible solely through mouse control alone. Unusually for a Diablo game (which are usually point-and-click titles), Diablo: Immortal will have the option of directional keyboard controls. In a blog post, Blizzard says it was of two minds about creating a PC version, which it calls 'an experiment.' Ultimately, because a large section of fans would likely try to play it through an emulator anyway, the development team decided to create a dedicated PC build. The MMORPG allows players to take on challenges with eight-person parties and it has a faction-based PvP system. It will feature cross-play and cross-save support for all platforms, so you should be able to switch between PC and your mobile device with ease.

All progress and purchases will carry over too. The PC version will initially be in open beta, but will have all content and features. It's a free-to-play title with some optional in-game purchases. Folks in some Asia-Pacific regions will need to wait a few extra weeks.

Fast forward nearly three and a half years and not only does the game have a release date, but Blizzard announced it’ll be available on PC after all.ĭiablo: Immortal will arrive on PC, iOS and Android in most parts of the world on June 2nd. However, the fact it was announced as a mobile-only game didn’t exactly go over well with the publisher's hardcore fans ( to put it mildly).

All the way back at BlizzCon 2018, Blizzard revealed Diablo: Immortal, which would fill in the gaps of the story between Diablo II and Diablo III.
