Diablo Immortal is not Diablo IV Gold just a new entry in the long-running action-role-playing game series. It puts Diablo in a completely new setting. It has a number of new scenarios, in fact it's designed for mobile devices that have touchscreen controls.

It's an online game with a hugely multiplayer component that has a shared world where players can be seen playing around. It is co-developed with NetEase, a Chinese company called NetEase, and, more than any Blizzard game prior to it, it has been developed with an eye on Asian markets. It's free to play. These are huge sea shifts for Diablo.

On the other hand the fact that for every Diablo player -- and particularly any Diablo 3 player Diablo Immortal will feel reassuringly familiar. The trademark isometric perspective, chaotic combat with massive monsters and the plethora of loot fountains are all there.

Beyond that, Immortal has clearly been built on an existing Diablo 3 engine and uses those assets while maintaining the feeling and the atmosphere of Blizzard's 2012 game. Immortal's artwork displays the same vibrant, golden glow. The battle features the same enthralling firework display, and the clunk and splatter effects offer the same deep, Pavlovian satisfaction.

This is because Immortal is the same game but in a new context that the opinions of the various segments of its audience can vary greatly. Existing Diablo fans hate the way their favorite game has been commercialized in its free-to-play version, whereas mobile game gamers, comfortable with this model, are impressed with cheap Diablo 4 Gold the quality, polish, and scope that Immortal has inherited it's predecessors.
