Diablo Immortal plays like, well, Diablo on your phone
Diablo Immortal didn't make a great first impression. It was announced at Blizzcon in 2018 when most fans were expecting the next mainline Diablo title, not a free-to-play spinoff for smartphones. Since then, Blizzard has been very quiet about Immortal (though Diablo IV was eventually announced).
That's starting to change. Ahead of a technical alpha that's set to kick off soon, I was able to play through the early stages of the game. And while I can't speak to every aspect, one thing was immediately clear: this feels like a proper Diablo game.
A mobile version of Diablo makes a lot of sense. There are already countless clones and Diablo-inspired titles on smartphones, while the Nintendo Switch version of Diablo III proved just how fun...
