Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal is likely coming out very soon on mobile devices.

Diablo Immortal has six playable classes.

Let's not pretend -- a sizable chunk of Blizzard's fans are not fans of the mobile platform.

Diablo Immortal will be Blizzard's latest entry into the dark fantasy RPG series, but it'll be a bit different from what you're probably used to.

In 2017, Blizzard did a really big Gamescom reveal, with Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and World of Warcraft all seeing fairly large announcements, as well as Overwatch dropping the Mei short video for folks.

It's no secret that Diablo Immortal didn't get an enthused reception from the crowd at BlizzCon last year -- while you'd think that more Diablo is always a good thing, players have a lot of negative opinions about mobile games.

We've asked the question before, a bit more obliquely, but now it's time to be direct: When is Diablo Immortal coming out?

I think about this one a lot.

In addition to having revenues that would make Croesus of Lydia weep, NetEase has something else -- a completed Diablo mobile game all ready to go.

Diablo Immortal and the rumored Pokemon Go-style Warcraft game were not Blizzard's first attempts at taking their biggest series to mobile platforms.
