Diablo: Immortal

Diablo: Immortal brings Blizzard’s signature hack-and-slash formula to phones and PC in a shared online world, mixing classic dungeon crawling with MMO-style hubs, group play, and a live-service progression loop. Developed by NetEase and published by Activision Blizzard, it is built to be played in short sessions or longer grinds, with a free-to-play model that heavily influences how fast different players can progress.
