Diablo Immortal, The Upcoming Mobile Spin-Off, Shows Off Classes And Combat

Diablo Immortal, the mobile revealed at BlizzCon 2018 to considerable controversy, has debuted some new footage. The new trailer shows off six of the game's classes, and how the combat in this spin-off is shaping up.

We get a quick look at the Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard classes, which seem likely to return in this game.

The new footage, which was uploaded to the Chinese Diablo Immortal website, is direct from Chinese gaming convention ChinaJoy. As pointed out by Polygon, it also shows off Baal, the villain from Diablo II. It seems like they will be returning.

You can watch the trailer, uploaded by Blizzard Watch, below. The trailer has not actually been uploaded by the official Blizzard channels, or in English, as of yet.

GameSpot went hands-on with Diablo Immortal at BlizzCon 2018, and writer Alessandro Fillari came away cautiously optimistic. "I was surprisingly pleased with how Immortal played, and it'll be interesting to see how the game will pan out once it launches," he wrote.

Diablo IV is also in the works, and will feature open-world multiplayer arenas. We'd usually expect to see more at BlizzCon, but there will be no BlizzCon this year.
