So the fact that I’ve played many hours of Diablo Immortal every day since its launch is a peculiar kind of phenomenon that had me curious, and then concerned.ĭiablo Immortal takes place five years after the events of Diablo II, and has you once again defending the world of Sanctuary against demons in a bunch of new locations. For me, the idea of doing anything on my phone that requires more than a simple swipe of my thumb or a lazy tap seems extremely tedious.
The only mobile game I’ve played regularly is Pokemon GO, and the one I developed. I own a physical copy of ‘ The Book of Cain’, and I despised the direction of Diablo 3.
I’ve played Diablo since its first iteration in 1997. Read: The Activision Blizzard lawsuit, explained It has the same beautiful, painterly visual treatment, and the hero line-up is pretty much the same, as are the itemisation, combat, and end-game Paragon system. In a nutshell, Immortal is basically Diablo 3, a complete PC game experience you hold in your hands. Workplace misconduct, discrimination, and union busting are things that stay at the front of mind while playing something as big and ambitious as Diablo Immortal fortunately, the game is also free to play, so you don’t necessarily have to give the embattled company any money.ĭiablo Immortal is far from the watered down, casual mobile game Blizzard’s vocal fanbase was initially expecting when the company announced it. Playing a new game by Activision Blizzard in 2022 has the same kind of feeling as ordering something from Amazon – you’re excited, and really want the thing, but you also feel incredibly guilty knowing everything going on behind-the-scenes at the company making it happen.
