gameinformer.com:

Blizzard has revealed that its Diablo MMOARPG, Diablo Immortal, will finally be released to mobile devices on June 2 and in a surprise announcement, it will hit PC in open beta on the same day. 

First announced in 2018, Diablo Immortal is not just the first Diablo game to hit mobile devices – iOS and Android – but it’s also the first MMO for the series. Blizzard has also revealed that Diablo Immortal will feature crossplay and cross-progression on day one, meaning you can end a session on PC and pick right back up where you were on your mobile device. Diablo Immortal will be available on June 2 in most regions, with some Asia-Pacific regions gaining access a few weeks later. 

“The demons of the Burning Hells are ready to be slain in the most expansive Diablo game that Blizzard has ever released,” Blizzard Entertainment president Mike Ybarra said. “As Blizzard’s first game designed from the ground up for mobile, it was important to us to deliver an experience worthy of the franchise, so we did a lot of testing, incorporated a lot of feedback, and created a game that we’re very excited to share with players. We’re looking forward to unleashing this epic new entry in the Diablo franchises, and we can’t wait to join everyone in Sanctuary.” 

While the PC version of Diablo Immortal will be in open beta on June 2, Blizzard says this version of the game “will contain all features, including crossplay and cross-progression, and upon conclusion, all progress will be maintained.” Diablo Immortal game director Wyatt Cheng and Diablo’s franchise head, Rod Fergusson, sat down with Game Informer to talk about today’s news, including the PC open beta, the first-ever PvP experience in Diablo, the game’s story, and more.
