Blizzard Entertainment has announced the Diablo Immortal release date, with the game’s open beta coming for both PC and mobile devices on June 2! The annouunccement was accompanied by a new trailer, as well as a pre-register site for players looking to try the game once it comes out.
Diablo Immortal’s release date is also important for a few reasons, namely in that the game will also be releasing as a free-to-play title on PC. The title will support cross-play and cross-progression on both PC and mobile devices, so you can be sure that you can also play on the go if you want to.
As for control schemes, here are a few more details via Blizzard:
To provide players with more ways to play, Diablo Immortal will host controller support for both PC and mobile. Since the Closed Beta, we’ve modified controller functionality so adventurers will now use a free-cursor reticle controlled with a thumbstick to navigate menus. To type messages in-game, a touch screen or keyboard will be required. Providing you with the most optimal experience when using a controller to protect Sanctuary is a priority of ours, so after Diablo Immortal launches, we will continue to improve controller support.
Additionally, the W/A/S/D/ directional keys may be used to move around the map for PC—a first for a Diablo game. And of course, you can still use mouse and keyboard to explore, loot, and keep Hell’s nightmares at bay.
With the game launching in an open beta state, here are some of the features players can expect from Diablo Immortal at launch:
The time to assume the mantle of Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, or Wizard and fight for the fate of Sanctuary is closing in. As you ponder which class to walk the streets of Westmarch and beyond with, you may also be wondering—what dangers, or delightfully exciting challenges, will be available at launch?
As you progress through Immortal’s story, you’ll traverse eight expansive zones, each with their own hellish styles. But don’t worry, the gates of Hell have been left open for the potential addition of more zones and content. While taking in the sights and felling demonic hordes in your wake, you’ll stumble across dangerous live events where all battle-hungry adventurers on the same server can team up to defy the odds and claim victory over the Burning Hells. And once you’re ready to tackle the Helliquary, our eight-player raid experience, you’ll be delighted to know formidable foes and alluring loot await, with more to come across monthly free content updates.
Diablo Immortal arrives on PC and mobile devices this June 2 as an open beta title. You can pre-register for the game here.
