Focus at Microsoft and our acquisition of Activision Blizzard will have more first party titles, but what we are really focused on doing as well is creating what we call a new universal app store. An app store that will enable any gamer on any device to access, download and use any app.

So it will work on mobile, it will work on consoles, it will work on PC. It will really bring new opportunities to people who create games and people who play them.

We'd like to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo devices. We'd like to bring the other popular titles that Activision Blizzard has, and ensure that they continue to be available on PlayStation, and that they become available on Nintendo.

Ultimates and PotionsThe World of SanctuaryPublic Central City Hub & Eight Unique Zones

Westmarch - Explore the sprawling streets of Westmarch in a time before Malthael devastated the bustling city. Westmarch will act as the player central hub for access to vendors, crafting, stash, and all your adventuring needs. In addition, you'll be able to see other players in Westmarch as a shared public zone.

An Expansive World: Traverse 8 distinct and shared zones of Sanctuary rooted in unique ecologies and filled with dangerous new foes.

Wortham - Those familiar with Diablo III might remember Wortham as the westerly neighbor of New Tristram, set ablaze by Maghda in the early story. The adventure of Diablo Immortal starts in this cozy small town. Players will arrive on the docks and journey through a corrupted forest to the town center and its familiar church as they begin their search for the Worldstone fragments.

Ashwold Cemetary - Near the birthplace of Queen Asylla, Ashwold Cemetery is where her remains were interred after her death at the hands of her maddened husband, King Leoric. Journey through the crypts and ancient manor, face off against the rampaging undead, and—if you're lucky—encounter the Haunted Carriage traveling across the cemetery.

Dark Wood - Last explored in Diablo II, the Dark Wood has grown increasingly dangerous in the intervening years. A forgotten evil is returning to strength within the shadowed forest, ready to challenge those who might dare tread within.

Library of Zoltun Kulle - Unlike the archives of Zoltun Kulle from Diablo III, we enter another repository of the famed Horadrim found in the deserts of Kehjistan. Within the library lies ancient Horadric artifacts and secrets. A magical copy of Zoltun Kulle curates the library. Delve into its depths for its secrets and search for ancient Horadric knowledge on how to destroy the corrupted Worldstone shards.

Bilefen - Near Port Justinian lies the murky area of the Bilefen completely infested by fetish monsters, bog lurkers, and everything in between. These evil denizens are making it difficult to travelers coming in and out of the port.

Mount Zavain - These rocky and treacherous mountains are home to lush woodlands as well as house a Monk Monastery and an ancient Zakarum outposts. Khazra and Cultists pose a threat to anyone daring to venture through its dangerous roads.

Shassar Sea - In the far east of Eastern Kehjistan, we travel to the Shassar Sea where a demon nest has formed. Here we'll find help of the Demon Hunter Valla and her master Josen as we try to rid the area of the demon infestation. The Amber Blades organization led by Tabri seeks to restore the golden age of Shassar Sea by acquiring the three pieces of the Scepter of Fahir. Help them secure this artifact in exchange of safe passage to the Library of Zoltun Kulle. No easy task. You must face dangerous wildlife, Lacuni and thieves as you explore ancient tombs and ruins in search of each scepter piece.

Frozen Tundra - The Frozen Tundra is the remains of the once great Mount Arreat, left a frozen crater after the Worldstone's destruction. This scar is all that remains as the surviving Barbarian clans struggle to survive in this harsh frigid land. You will chase a madman into these lands in order to stop his quest to trade the fourth corrupted Worldstone shard with Skarn, the Lord of Damnation. The trail leads you to the Ruins of Sescheron where Baal's forces continue to pose a threat. As the story progresses, you have no other option but to venture into the Cavern of Echoes in search of a powerful item that allows the bearer to enter the realm of the death.

Monsters

As always, Diablo Immortal will feature brand new monsters to face as well as some returning favorites with an updated design and new ways to kill players. Several choice demons from Diablo II, like the sickening beasts known as Vile Mothers—complete with their razor sharp claws and deadly spawn; Khazra, Undead, Lacuni, Cultists, Baal's minions, Quill Rats, Treasure Goblins, Fetishes —and many other familiar and all-new enemies will come to life in Diablo Immortal.

As a small teaser at the end of the Gameplay trailer, Baal was shown in some capacity, possibly as a potential returning villain of the game in addition to Skarn, Herald of Terror.

Seven Instanced Dungeons

Instance Dungeons: Traverse 7 instanced dungeons found in one of the eight zones of Sanctuary found in Diablo Immortal.

Mad King's Breach - Xul's apprentice, Lethes, is in possession of the first corrupted Worldstone shard. She seeks to harness the power of the Skeleton King to rule the dead. Venture into the breach and put an end to the Skeleton King before she claims his soul.

Forgotten Tower - Once home to the Countess of Diablo II, a twisted cult has taken up residence of the Forgotten Tower. Through a blood ritual they've resurrected the Countess who now reigns over Dark Wood.

Tomb of Fahir - Plunge the depths of the Tomb of Fahir, a former disciple of Akarat. You'll need to combat spiders, zombies, and mummies engulfed in flames if you hope to find the treasure room found within. Adventurers must face King Fahir and his pet Segithis to retrieve the Scepter of Fahir for Tabri, leader of the Amber Blades in the Shassar Sea.

Destruction's End - Helping Kulle's Curator restore the Library's defenses allows players to enter the archives where you peek into the story of Tal Rasha and Zoltun Kulle's mission to bind Baal into a soulstone. This vision reveals the secret knowledge that Deckard Cain seeks in order to destroy the corrupted Worldstone shards.

Kikuras Rapids - The Kikuras Rapids, deep within the Bilefen, this river sneaks its way through a jungle brimming with monstrosities. From bug lurkers, to the swamp fetishes, it'll take a lot to avoid a murky and water grave as you try to stay alive on a rickety wooden raft that snakes down the river. Retrieve the stolen relic from Chieftain Ongori, if you can survive the experience.

Cavern of Echoes - Deep in the frozen wastes of the Frozen Tundra, adventurers must brave the chilling corridors of this dungeon and face perilous Yetis and monsters in search of an ancient item sought by the Umbaru for ages... One of the fabled seven stones. This relic allows the bearer to enter the realm of Death, but to acquire it, you must defeat its keeper: the Guardian Colossus.

Endgameblogpost

We’re excited to see many of you enjoying the Helliquary—massive 8-player raid boss encounters that demand extra coordination to overcome.

Our intention is to release one new Helliquary boss every month, but in order to provide more granularity and a better sense of progression, we are going to also provide multiple difficulty levels for each boss.

Equipment & Itemization

Gear

All classes have a total of 12 equipment slots, divided into two categories: Primary equipment and Secondary equipment. All of them can equip Magic items (blue) and Rare Items (yellow). The primary equipment slots may contain Legendary Items: head, shoulder, torso, legs, weapon and offhand. The secondary equipment slots may contain Set Items.

Charms

In addition, there is a single Charm slot. Charms can be acquired from the Battle Pass and may be upgraded, extracted or imbued at the Charm Craftsman in Westmarch. Charms may contain up to five Skills with a random chance to roll Rank +1-10. Increasing a Skill rank increases the damage value of your skills.

Gems

Diablo Immortal characters can acquire gems in a number of ways: they can drop from monsters or be found in chests, be crafted and upgraded, or be purchased from a vendor. Gems are socketed into equipment, as in previous Diablo franchises, to enhance your character's power.

Rare items have a chance to contain a slot for a regular gem, which will increase one of your character's attributes depending on the color of the gem you choose. Legendary items contain a slot for a legendary gem, which has the potential to significantly change and improve one of your abilities.

Legendary Items

Legendary items are a primary progression system for Diablo Immortal. Legendary Items have a chance to drop from several sources in the world of Sanctuary:

Treasure Chests
Horadric Altar (Bestiary)
Battle Pass
First Kill of the Day
Normal mobs
Rare Elites
Orange Rare Elites (50% drop chance)
Dungeon Bosses
Helliquary Raid Bosses
PvP Faction Vault rewards
Hidden Lairs
Elder Rifts
Challenge Rifts
Challenge Rift rewards (every 5 levels completed)
Zone Events
Seasonal Event rewards
Seasonal Event Shop
Hilt Vendor
Rare and Antiquities (Gambler)

New Legendary items carry the potential to completely reimagine the powerful skills your character has at their disposal. Change how a skill targets enemies, channel new elemental energy types, or even add entirely new effects through an astonishing array of awesome armaments.

Those who are familiar with Diablo III, may recognize that Legendary Items behave like the Runes system, except their essence powers are built-in into the Legendary Items. There is also the Essence Transfer Vendor where you may store the essence power permanently to switch your Legendary Items in a similar fashion as you can do in the Diablo III's Kanai Cube.

Here are some examples for the Necromancer's Torso Legendary Items:

The Inviting Tomb legendary item changes your Bone Wall skill into a circular wall of bones that traps enemies within and blocks the path of those behind as well.

The Ever-Grasping Vestments legendary item changes your Bone Wall skill into a line of skeletal soldiers that run in the direction commanded dealing damage to enemies hit by your skeletal soldiers and knocking them back. Great in PvP and PvE situations. These also block incoming projectiles from monsters and bosses. Standing in position, any enemies touching the wall also get damaged continuously for the duration of the skeletal soldiers remain static on the battlefield.

The Exhumant's Backbone legendary item changes your Bone Wall skill to instead summon a pillar of rotting corpses from the ground, immediately knocking enemies into the air, and leaving an acid pool on the ground that slows down and damages enemies while they remain in the area.

The Covet Nothing legendary item changes your Bone Armor skill into a continuous AOE storm that protects you, your minions and allies, and damages enemies per ally for its duration. This is the equivalent of a temporary Thorns damage.

The Flickering Warmth legendary item changes your Bone Armor skill into 3 bone daggers that rotate around you dealing 2284 (4503+ critical) damage to all enemies hit by each bone dagger. Paladin Blessed Hammer on a Necromancer that lasts 9 seconds? Not so bad for a 20 second cooldown skill.

Additional Modes and Features

In addition to all the content featured in Diablo Immortal, Blizzard clarified questions about the inclusion of more modes for Diablo Immortal that have become mainstays in many modern ARPGs.

Hardcore

Hardcore, the mode where once your character dies they're actually dead, no respawning, is not currently planned for Diablo Immortal. They're not certain that the mode works for the mobile platform, but will still be iterating on that decision.

PvP

PvP is an integral part of Diablo Immortal. Players unlock PvP at level 42 when the quest pops onscreen requesting your presence at Cain's Workshop. Cain gives you a mysterious letter that takes you through a questline that unlocks access to joining the Shadows faction. After learning the story of the Shadows and the Immortals factions you decide whether to remain an Adventurer or to join the Shadows. Players can also be invited to join the Immortals by one of their members, but there is limited membership. The Shadows faction has an opportunity to dethrone the Immortals. The highest ranking Dark House may ascend to become the new Immortals.

PvP takes place in the Battlegrounds every day at 8am, 12pm, 6pm and 10pm server time for two hours. For each Battleground you participate in, you earn ratings to increase your Battleground Rank starting at Bronze I. Earn rewards such as Gold, XP and other items per match and rank up for a position in the Leaderboards.

Combatants on the Battleground have simple paths to victory.

Over three stages, attackers attempt to destroy the Ancient Heart, winning if they succeed.
Defenders attempt to block attackers from their objective until time elapses.
Participation in the Battleground grants rewards and -- to the Immortals and Shadows -- preparedness for the Rite of Exile.
The Battleground is how Immortals prepare to defend their Reign and their crown. When the Shadows bring their acussations and blades to the Rite of Exile, you must be ready.

At the end of the week, if the Shadows are ready to challenge the Immortals the Rite of Exile sets the mood for a clash between both factions in several group matches. If the Shadows are victorious, a select group of players earn the right to fight the Immortal leader for a chance to dethrone him/her. If defeated, the highest ranking Dark House becomes the new Immortals, and its Dark House leader becomes the new Immortal Leader.

Post-Launch Content

Diablo Immortal is planned from the ground up for ongoing content and events. After launch, expect continued support and regular content updates including balance changes, new zones, dungeons, bosses, loot, additional stories, and even new classes!

Offline Mode

Offline Mode will not be supported with Diablo Immortal. It will require an active internet/mobile network connection.

Social Features

Clans and Warbands
Clans will be available for players to join to help facilitate playing with your friends. These can be as big as 150 members.

posted

The core structure of the Cycle of Strife will no longer revolve around Dark Houses and a final Immortal group. Instead, the Cycle of Strife will be based on Clans competing with one another. To enrich the social experience, we’re empowering your Clan with the ability to become a Dark Clan. Forming Dark Houses wasn’t very good for long-term social relationships; when every end of a cycle occurred, it caused a jarring upheaval to your social system and network of players. Now, after a player's clan is made, that clan’s members will join the Shadows together. If that player’s Dark Clan succeeds in besting the other Dark Clans and overthrowing the Immortals, then that winning Dark Clan will become the Immortal Clan. Players in an Immortal Clan will stay together as a unit and can invite up to two other Dark Clans to become Immortal Allied Clans. When the Immortals’ reign ends, as all reigns must, the Immortal Clan will return to being a normal Clan as the Cycle begins anew. This new design gives Clans more meaning and allows you to form long-term friendships with other players.

Multiplayer
Players can play with their friends in 4-player parties to faces the challenges of Diablo Immortal.
