News New Chinese Diablo: Immortal trailer

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that when Blizzard announced the mobile game Diablo: Immortal back in 2018 the feedback was overwhelmingly negative. A room full of Diablo fans (along with Warcraft, Starcraft and Hearthstone fans as well) had been expecting some kind of news about a follow-up to the hugely popular Diablo III. Instead they got some rehashed mobile game made by the third party NetEase and spawning the meme “Do you guys not have phones?”

Things have felt pretty quiet since then for Diablo: Immortal and last year Blizzard did finally announce Diablo IV but now a new gameplay trailer has appeared for the mobile game from ChinaJoy 2020. (Not that China is bringing a lot of joy this year?)

The graphics still don't look amazing, but they have been improved and this is still a mobile game, but are there mobile devices available today where it will run smoothly? Hopefully Blizzard are taking the time to release something special that won't be riddled with microtransactions, something not unheard of in the mobile space.

At least we can still look forward to Diablo IV, check the source for comparisons between 2018 and 2020 along with some more translated information from the Chinese website.

Looks authentically Diablo, we will have to see what micro mechanics are in there to prize money out of people (at least it isn't another clicker game and looks as though some thought / effort was put into it if the video contains actual gameplay footage)

 

If its free and has microtransactions I might check it out, but really waiting for Diablo IV!
