Diablo Immortal

Instead of worrying about the summer convention season suffering from recent events, members of the gaming community have something to look forward to.

We're probably getting a Diablo anime on Netflix, something we at Blizzard Watch have been thinking about for years now.

Diablo Immortal has been one of those frustrating games that dwells in a vague shadowland between release and not-release.

One title conspicuously absent from this year's opening ceremonies, and indeed from the entire BlizzCon schedule, was Diablo Immortal. Announced as the key new product at BlizzCon 2018, the mobile title attracted a broadly negative reaction from a community that had been first told to get hype but then promptly to rein it in.

With BlizzCon two weeks away, we're in the position of wondering what will happen when it has come and gone, and one of the games I most wonder about is Diablo 3.

We have been waiting on official news about Diablo Immortal since last year's BlizzCon -- and its unforgettable announcement.

Sometimes, when you're dealing with Blizzard, it's as much about what they don't say as what they do say.

Diablo Immortal has six playable classes.

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