Legendary Gems, one of the game's currencies, was also not received well, as gems currently can't be shared between an account's characters.Īnother important addition is controller support, which was added for the closed beta, and more tweaks will be coming to this functionality to smooth out the controls in menus while widening hardware support. However, a secondary Battle-Pass-like purchase (it's stackable) called Boon of Plenty wasn't received well, so Blizzard will rework it. An optional paid Battle Pass already exists, along with in-game purchases for currency. Of course, monetization is going to be majorly crucial since Diablo Immortal will be free-to-play when it launches this year. So the raid boss difficulty will be rebalanced, along with the raid UI for easier navigation. Beta players expressed annoyance with the balancing of these raids, where some bosses were too easy, and some too challenging. A Bounty system was implemented for the beta to encourage group play, but this led to players feeling like groups were forced, so Bounties will be solo in the future.Īnother part of the game's focus on multiplayer is raids, which are 8-player boss encounters. Improvements are coming to social/group play, as well as raids, Warband, the game's monetization, with tweaks to the new controller support, amongst a host of other changes.ĭiablo Immortal is being marketed as an MMO instead of an ARPG, so community play is a significant feature. Now that the closed beta is over, it would seem Blizzard is still planning on a 2022 launch, though it's quite clear there's still a bunch of work to be done before release. The director of Diablo Immortal, Wyatt Cheng, walks through a few of the lessons learned during the closed beta and details what changes Diablo Immortal fans can expect to come to the game in the most recent developer post.
