Earlier this year, the Diablo Immortal team ran an in depth Closed Alpha test where the community provided valuable feedback on all of the features and systems. Since then, the team worked hard on implementing that feedback and adding exciting new updates to the game. With this feedback, Diablo Immortal launched into Closed Beta.
Closed Beta will only be available on Android and in select regions where a limited number of players will be able to participate. Players who are invited to the Beta will receive a notification from Google Play. Starting at 5pm Pacific Time, Closed Beta servers will be open in Canada, where local players are able to test Diablo Immortal for the very first time, and in Australia. Closed beta will also be available in Korea, Japan, and China in upcoming weeks.
Here are the new things coming to Diablo Immortal Closed Beta:
- A new playable class – The Necromancer. Reanimate corpses to create an army of the dead while inflicting curses and pestilence upon the enemies of Sanctuary.,
- PvP and PvE updates. The game’s popular faction based PvP & PvE system, The Cycle of Strife, is now enhanced with a 30×1 battle called Challenge of the Immortal; Ladders are being added to the 8v8 Battleground PvP system; A new end-game gear system, Set items, is introduced; Players will now be able to challenge the Helliquary raid bosses with up to 8 total players; and more!
- Controller Support. Players will be able to experience a preview of controller support for Diablo Immortal.
- Optional In-Game Purchases. In Closed Beta, optional in-game purchases will be enabled to gain feedback from the community and test the functionality. All player progress will be wiped at the end of the Closed Beta, and any purchases will be converted to equivalent in-game credits and be available in Diablo Immortal at launch.
Closed Beta will be running for several weeks to make sure players have enough time to dive deep into the game. The exact end date of Closed Beta will be announced later.
