Blizzard announced the start of closed alpha testing of Diablo Immortal, a mobile offshoot of the famous RPG. Only users from Australia will be able to participate in it. They will have to check the technical condition of the project. At the same time, the game still does not have a release date.
Alpha testing will take place exclusively on Android.
Access to testing will be granted to a limited circle of several thousand Australian players who have pre-registered in the Google Play Store, as well as individual members of the game community.
Testing will last a couple of weeks. During this time, Blizzard plans to check the stability of the servers and collect feedback from players about core mechanics and general impressions of the gameplay.
The action of Diablo Immortal will unfold between the events of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction and Diablo III. Blizzard is developing the game together with NetEase, and its release will take place on iOS and Android.
The developers separately emphasize that all content in Diablo Immortal will be available for free, including additional content in the form of new story stories, classes and maps. According to Blizzard, monetization should not affect gameplay and progress.
Some journalists have already played the alpha version of Diablo Immortal. The Game Informer edition published a gameplay video with comments.
