If you were hoping for Diablo 4, you’re going to have to wait a while longer. The next Diablo game is Diablo Immortal, announced today at BlizzCon, and it’s a phone game that Blizzard says is “coming soon.”
Set during the twenty years between Diablo II and Diablo III, Diablo Immortal will tell stories about Tyrael, Deckard Cain, and other familiar franchise characters. It looks exactly like Diablo III, except it has touch controls.
Don’t worry: Diablo 4 is still coming. In a blog post two weeks ago, Blizzard all but said as much, telling fans that the highly anticipated Diablo III sequel would not be at this year’s convention.
“These are very exciting times – we currently have multiple teams working on different Diablo projects and we can’t wait to tell you all about them . . . when the time is right, the company said.
“We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that ‘good things come to those who wait,’ but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror.”

the 60 thousand downvotes on the cinematic trailer on Youtube speaks to how much the diablo community wanted this
RIP Diablo. Poor Wyatt Chen having to announce this and getting slayed.
Damn, I thought this would happen.
I think blizz can handle making a mobile game that doesn’t milk its users too hard.
It all depends on the pricing structure. Id easily rather pay and have no micro transactions though
Pretty sure blizzard arent making it. Tencent or one of those is. And from all reports its just a re skin of a game they made last year.
Oh… Oh dear.
If you have any good links I’d love to check it out. Really bad news!
Quick look this is the game they made last year https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=41XpjeCRrsk and people are saying its a reskin of that. Many people are saying the same thing. Re usong of assets etc.
Ah man… Actually sucks. I waited for blizz to release some awesome diablo news and feel they really fucked this up.
Why centre stage for a mobile game let alone one they aren’t even making.
Some pictures taken of the line to try out the Diablo mobile game and of those trying it out.

Haha brutal…
This has been a debacle for Blizzard. The Path of Exile subreddit got flooded by people “renouncing” Diablo and seeking to get into PoE (which I’d recommendd, anyway).
Haven’t played PoE yet, that good hey???
I love it. Be warned: one of the reasons I love it is because the overly (some would say unnecessarily) complex, interlocked systems that allow frankly disgusting amounts of min-maxing and over-customisation, which is something that I appreciate in games. But beyond that, is just a series of really good, clever ideas with an excellent execution and a stream of fresh content every so often.
An often-used litmus test is checking whether the tree of passive skills make you salivate instead of recoiling in horror: https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/33bio3/awakening_complete_passive_skill_tree_screenshot/
You know you’re not exactly turning me off telling me it’s got intricate detail and a complex customisation system…
*Unnnnngh*
Us oldschool gamers here miss this kinda thing 🙂 We’re all for it.
Sidenote: I was NOT prepared for that picture. Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus christ. WOW.
*rubs hands together*
Did I mention that some of the nodes in that tree are actually “jewel sockets” where you can allocate “jewels” which you can craft with customisable sets of modificators from among literally hundreds of them? Many of such mods even have variables that become better depending on the nodes surrounding the jewel in a radius.
Also not pictured, a secondary, smaller passive tree that you unlock once you pass a trial to choose one of the three available “ascendancies” for each class.
And the passive tree is but one of the many interlocked systems I mentioned.
Unnnnnnnng talk rpg to meeeee baby… this sounds amazing :O
Lmao
Lol. I’m merely, uh, a friend of this fine piece of ARPG. I’ll let you two get acquainted. http://www.pathofexile.com
There goes my upcoming weekend!
