Diablo Immortal: Free Class Change & More – Interview with Blizzard
After an infamous revelation at BlizzCon 2018 and a turbulent development, Diablo Immortal will actually be released on June 2nd, 2022. And not only that, it is now also known that the action MMORPG, which was originally intended for smartphones, will also be released for PC. As the only German website, we were able to chat again about Diablo Immortal in an interview with Game Director Wyatt Cheng and Executive Producer Peiwen shortly before the release. In doing so, they elicited exciting information – and also avoided some unpleasant questions.
Pay2Win? Gameplay First remains (actually) the credo
According to Wyatt Cheng, the best way to improve your character is still through playing. “Game Play First” remains a core value of the developers, that should be the driving force in Diablo Immortal. Legendary badges only increase the chance of special loot, you still have to play. So if you really get into it, you have the right equipment. Unfortunately, Cheng answered our question somewhat to his advantage – he didn’t tell us exactly how to counteract the unfair advantage of legendary gems.

Diablo Immortal remains mobile first – but also appeals to PC gamers
According to Cheng are “game pattern” and session length are significantly different for a smartphone game. Some players only want to play Diablo Immortal briefly (buy now ) watch, which is why bounties, among other things, are designed for short 5-minute sessions, while rifts and dungeons are intended for longer excursions. The latter are also better for PC gamers who want to dig into content for a long time – one of the reasons for the PC version is the long play sessions revealed in testing. Despite this, Diablo Immortal continues “Mobile First”. Fans have always wanted it on PC and the streaming aspect, which many players want to do today, was a factor in why Immortal is now coming to PC. Incidentally, the launch on PC and mobile should take place at the same time as possible so that crossplay and cross-progression can be implemented well.
Different game sessions characterize mobile development: Blizzard also has to design content that is fun to play within five minutes. Rifts and dungeons ensure longer fun.

No disadvantage on PC or mobile in terms of control
The controls on mobile and PC should be designed in such a way that there are no gameplay differences. Controllers will also be available for the smartphone version – Blizzard will publish an exact list of which are compatible.
Six classes, but only five character slots: why so few in Diablo Immortal? The answer: free class change

Free class change after launch
When asked why there are only five character slots for six classes, the answer is clear: there will be a post-launch class change feature. Diablo Immortal isn’t designed to have a lot of alts and twinks playing alongside a main character. Rather, you will focus on one character and make it stronger and stronger – through Paragorn levels, levels and equipment. If at some point you don’t feel like it anymore, you will be able to change classes and take over your entire progression. That’s why you don’t need that many character slots. The change of class should be free, but is not yet fully polished. There is currently a vacillation between a cooldown for this feature of one week or one month. You shouldn’t change classes for every little excursion.
