Diablo Immortal Gears Up for June Release in Southeast Asia – Welcome back to the World Of Sanctuary

“Hello my friend, stay a while and listen…”

Those are the immortal words that many who have ventured into the world of Sanctuary hear in their minds. The words string together an epic, gothic journey to save a small town which then turned into a quest to save the world.

Diablo Immortal is, perhaps, the most contentious entry into the long running series by Blizzard. The game was overshadowed by anticipation for a follow up to Diablo 3. However, hot on the heels of the announcement of the much anticipated Diablo 4, the doors of Sanctuary are now opening once again. Diablo Immortal will be debuting globally on 2 June 2022.

However, Southeast Asia will have to wait a few weeks until 23 June 2022. According to Blizzard, the is needed “to better optimise the player experience by setting up dedicated game servers for the region”. The game will be available in Malaysia, Macau, Philippines, Taiwan Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Thailand on iOS, Android and PC. However, it will only be available on PC in Vietnam at the time of launch. Pre-registered users will receive the Horadrim Cosmetic Set at launch. The game also supports cross play and cross progression between platforms.

The game takes place between the events of Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 after the shattering of the World Stone. With Tyrael presumed dead and the World Stone shattered, Sanctuary is thrown into chaos. The powerful fragments of the World Stone are now littered across the world, tainting Sanctuary. Diablo’s hordes of minions are seeking that power to bring the Lord of Terror back. It falls to the player, a nephalem, to stop them.

Players will be able to play as one of six classes in Diablo Immortal – Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer or Wizard – as they embark on a journey through eight different zones and the great city of Westmarch. You will come across many familiar faces in your journey including the wise sage, Deckard Cain as you venture to gather the shattered pieces of the World Stone before the forces of the Burning Hells.

Unlike other entries in the Diablo franchise, Diablo Immortal is a Massively Multiplayer Online Action Role-Playing Game (MMOARPG) with a social experience that is totally new to the franchise. Players will now be able to interact with others in a massive world. You will be able to form Warbands and take on intense Helliquary raid bosses and even join Clans with up to 150 other players to unlock Clan achievements. You’ll even be able to test your strength as you vie for the Eternal Crown in the Cycle of Strife with brutal 1v30 showdowns as you defend the crown.

Diablo Immortal is free to play but has a microtransaction component to it. According to Blizzard, in-game purchases are optional with the game’s core experience being completely free. The company is also teasing new content for the game in the coming years. NetEase and Blizzard will be adding new zones, dungeons and character classes regularly.
