Game Director Wyatt Cheng recently took the time to answer questions from the community about Diablo Immortal on the Immortal Reddit Discord channel. Topics were about class replenishment, regions, PC port, API, legendaries and character slots.
Diablo Immortal will be released on June 2, 2022 and the Blizzard developers are using the time until release to fine-tune the mobile version, the PC port for the beta, which will start at the same time, and of course also to get the publicity going. For example, game director Wyatt Cheng recently took the time to answer questions from the community about Diablo Immortal on the Immortal Reddit Discord channel (via WoWHead).
Diablo Immortal Q&A recap with Wyatt Cheng
Q&A topics covered Class Replenishment, Regions, PC Port, API, Legendaries, and Character Slots, among others. Here are the most important findings from the question and answer session.
- Solo players will encounter limitations here and there in Diablo Immortal, but thanks to beta feedback, there’s now a lot more content suitable for solo players.
- Mouse and keyboard controls are still being worked on. The PC version of Immortal will still be in a beta phase at the time of release. So expect bugs and things that don’t run optimally.
- The interface of the PC version will be based on that of the mobile version. For example, you have to scroll in tooltips on PC to read the entire text. A scaling of the user interface is also not possible.
- The focus remains on mobile as the main platform for Immortal. The PC port is just trying to provide a better alternative to any emulations. You don’t want to move so many developer resources from mobile to PC that the quality of the mobile experience suffers (because content patches are delayed, for example).
- Wyatt Cheng likes Diablo Immortal (buy now ) most of all how well it plays on mobile devices. He is certain: some PC enthusiasts will try a mobile one at some point and be pleasantly surprised.
- The topic of mods, community tools and API interfaces only comes up once the launch has been completed.
- Blizzard could split the Immortal community back into regions (NA East, NA West, Europe). However, a final decision has not yet been made.
- You can create up to five characters on each server. There shouldn’t be more for now, not even via the in-game shop.
- There will be a cooldown (longer than 24 hours) for the class change. You take almost everything with you when you move. The only thing you can’t take with you is your legendary progress, as it’s class-bound.
