While all eyes are on the Blizzcon for Diablo 4 , the mobile spin-off Diablo Immortal is quietly receiving a major info update. It’s packed full of new content regarding zones, classes, and events. But hardly anyone will have noticed.
This is what’s in the info update: During Blizzcon 2019, Blizzard presented a larger update for Diablo Immortal on the official site. This update includes:
- four new zones
- the new class Demon Hunter
- a new world event: Ghost Wagon
- new items and abilities
All new content can be seen in a stylish trailer, which you can find on the official Diablo YouTube channel. We have included it here for you:
New Content for Diablo Immortal for the BlizzCon Demo 2019
This is the new class: The Demon Hunter joins as the newest class. In the presentation of Diablo Immortal it was already announced, but is only now playable in the demo.
In the trailer, it is mainly seen with the iconic crossbows. It takes down opponents in droves, acrobatically jumping over them or peppering them with bolts.
Demon Hunters use ranged weapons and rely on Agility. They are a particularly mobile and agile class.
These new zones and events are available: Diablo Immortal will be expanded with the update to include four new zones:
- Wortham, a misty town on the riverbank
- Darkwood, a grim forest full of bloody rituals
- Mount Tamo, an almost idyllic place, but where the undead await
- Ashwold Cemetery, a grim graveyard full of graves and skeletons
The new world event is called “Ghost Wagon”. What exactly your task will be there, we do not yet know. It looks like you will need to either escort and protect a ghostly wagon or stop and destroy it.
These are the new items and abilities: Additionally, some classes will receive new legendary items that enhance their abilities.
- Gluthass for the Demon Hunter swaps the arrows of the Barrage with grenades
- Winterreue for the Sorceress turns the fireball into a frost ball that freezes and pushes enemies away
- Inna’s Hand enhances the Exploding Hand
- Stormbringer for the Barbarian summons a mighty hammer
In addition, the classes will receive new powerful abilities called “Ultimates”. These are charged with normal attacks and then unleashed to devastate enemies with spectacular attacks.
New Update –
Hardly Anyone Notices
Why has hardly anyone noticed? The English video for the update has only been viewed by 183,701 people, while the German video has been viewed by 2,578 people (November 3 at 3:30 AM).
This is significantly less than, for example, the gameplay of Diablo 4 (English: 2.8 million, German: 94,702).
The strongly negative reactions to Diablo Immortal at Blizzcon 2018 could be a reason why the update was rolled out rather “in silence”.
However, it is also possible that with the great response and the fantastic trailers for Diablo 4, the mobile spin-off Immortal would have faded into the background anyway.
When will Diablo Immortal be released? It is said that Diablo Immortal is already finished. However, the developers have not announced a release date.
So far, it has only been stated that a certain quality needs to be achieved before Diablo Immortal is released. In the meantime, you can register for tests on the official website. However, Blizzard has not yet revealed an official release date.
