A GROUNDBREAKING DIABLO EXPERIENCE
Diablo Immortal™ is a brand-new game in Blizzard Entertainment’s genre-defining action role-playing game series set between the events of Diablo® II: Lord of Destruction® and Diablo III®. Explore the nightmarish realm of Sanctuary like never before, now a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) where angels and demons wage an endless war over dominion of the mortal realm. Join forces with countless other players on an epic quest to collect the shattered fragments of the corrupted Worldstone and prevent the Lord of Terror’s return. Fans of Diablo and new players alike will embark on an adventure across a vast open world where they will clash with armies of demons, collect epic loot, and gain unimaginable power.
SLAY YOUR WAY
Choose from four highly iconic and customizable classes—Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, and Wizard. Gain new abilities with each successful encounter and clash to become the most powerful player in the arena of war. Gear up with all-new set items and legendary weapons, and even level up your favorite weapons so they can grow in power alongside you.

Diablo IV Lead Game Designer Joe Shely posted a new quarterly blog update to highlight a few changes done to itemization — based on player feedback.
This new iteration of the game shows us that Diablo IV is heavily inspired in the roots of Diablo II, while borrowing modern quality of life features seen Diablo III that you should expect in a 2020s video game.
It is now official. Blizzard Entertainment announced Diablo Immortal Alpha is open in Australia to a select group of players who meet the minimum mobile requirements (not everyone). Several selected USA content creators are livestreaming gameplay as I speak.
Several gaming sites started sharing their hands-on gameplay impressions as well.
RedOctober shared with other /r/DiabloImmortal Discord members an image. It shows that Nextgen tweeted Diablo Immortal previews are coming this week.
I was informed that Capt. Logun of the Keelhauled Podcast recently tweeted that his friends were invited to the Diablo Immortal Technical Alpha.
A couple months ago, Blizzard Entertainment filed to trademark Diablo Immortal in USA, EU, UK, Canada, China, Australia and New Zealand.
So far none of these countries have officially approved the trademark. This is a process that historically takes some time. In extreme cases, like China, over a year.
Blizzard Entertainment updated the Google Play Diablo Immortal app today, December 3, 2020 in the afternoon.
Someone with username Azimuthus posted in Reddit an image of what he claims is spotting the Diablo 4 downloader in the Blizzard Launcher. The download isn’t possible with a decryption key — which means this build is only accessible by Blizzard employees — most likely only the Diablo 4 team.
If this truly happened, it was very likely a mistake by someone at Blizzard who flagged it for public view, accidentally.
