Trailer footage for Diablo Immortal also shows 10 players coming together to take down their enemies, whereas, in older Diablo games, only four players could band together.

Plus, players will be able to use Ultimate Abilities, which can be charged via repeated successful basic attacks, as well as Legendary items in order to boost their performance and dole out high damage attacks. It’s expected that players will be able to combine their abilities to make cross-class cooperation more interesting and more streamlined. We should also see Tyrael, Leah and Malthael, as well as Deckard Cain in the story, alongside demon hunters Josen and Valla, who some may remember from Heroes of the Storm, another Blizzard property. Six familiar classes will be present: Demon Hunter, Monk, Wizard, Crusader, Necromancer and Barbarian. It has been mentioned that Diablo Immortal will feature new abilities and techniques that haven’t been seen in any other games in the franchise. It will explore past events to find out how we got to the gloomy and dangerous world of Diablo 3, after the destruction of the Worldstone.

The game has been developed by Blizzard and will be set five years after Diablo 2. Even though Diablo Immortal originated as a mobile-only game, beta tests for the title proved that there was a lot of interest, and the only way the developers could bring it to the mass market was also by making it available to play on PC.
