Diablo Immortal Will Be Available to Play on PC - Open Beta Starting June 2
You guys don’t need phones! In the official Diablo Immortal release date announcement earlier today, Blizzard has stated that Diablo Immortal will be playable on PC at launch. We have collected all the information available regarding Diablo Immortal’s PC client implementation:
Blizzard has heard the community’s feedback. Diablo Immortal is supposed to be a “lifestyle game” that can be played anywhere — and the team has recognized that this also includes playing the game on PC. The Open Beta PC client will support mouse and keyboard inputs but the game will also support controllers. Players will also be able to use WASD controls instead of point-and-click. The PC client looks to support various resolutions, looking «absolutely gorgeous».
