Diablo Immortal (Mobile) Announced

I am a Diablo fan, and this is the most interesting thing they could have done IMO - but I know I am in the minority
I like really long grindy mobile ARPG, and seeing how far I can get without going crazy whale mode. I have played Marvel Future Fight (the best example of this kinda game), for three years on and off.
A company like Blizz trying this genre (which is much different than regular ARPGs) is exciting to me.
Totally agree with Kripp. I really hope more people have an open mind and give it try.
I'm not a fan of mobile any more than the next guy, but this looked pretty decent, and it's one of the few types of games that can control quite well on a phone.
Always online? Online co-op from anywhere? I'm honestly pretty excited, and I say that as someone with an iPhone XS with not a single game logged on it so far.

In the press release they only mention mobile, did they talk about PC/Console in stream?
I don't mind it being mobile at all but I'm wondering why they're not developing it in-house instead? Worked out pretty damn well for Hearthstone, though I guess this is a more resource-intensive project. Still, Blizzard is huge.
From the website:
Massively Multiplayer Action in Your Pocket
Meet other demon-slayers as you wander Sanctuary, and join them to take on deep, treacherous dungeons. Visit vast social hubs like Westmarch and conduct business with local merchants before setting off on your next adventure. Drop in or out of groups easily and engage in dynamic events all over the world, teaming up with other heroes as you take down Skarn's minions—and reap powerful rewards.
Giving me nightmares of Diablo III launch, except in a wider scale.

I'm so over Diablo 3, if this was in the style of Diablo 1/2 I would've still been hyped. But I guess that dream is dead.
Didnt look too good to me, not a fan of the UI, hard to read what is going on with thos kind of grafics and that many enemies + other people + that quality of grafics im not sure my mobile can move it.
Maybe the trailer just didnt highlight the acommodations made to make it mobil but appart of the intrusive UI it looks like Diablo 3 running in a mobile device and thats it

Lol at all the mobile hate.
Like... have people ever even touched a well-made mobile game? They're just fine.

you people thinking its going to be good because "blizz is doing it" realize blizzard is not doing it right
I'm still very much looking forward to the eventual announcement of Diablo 4, but I completely agree here.
This really should have been a scenario in which they announce this alongside a tease for Diablo 4. Because now this thing is just going to get piled on for not being the thing people want. It was always going to get that to an extent, but it's going to be even worse because it's the only thing they talked about.
Oh good, garbage. I just don't want to play mobile games. Congrats to Blizzard on the money printing from whatever scummy monetization strategy they wind up employing here.
to you but that doesn't actually mean they are not. This could be good, it doesn't automatically mean it will be bad.
Old people that hate mobile gaming are upset.
This looks good, I'd rather play Diablo on my phone than the other terrible clones.
I don't understand why so many people are resistant to gaming on a phone or tablet because they are "gamers" everyone else seems to manage fine with the concept.

I don't fucking want to play a game like this on my phone. At least let me play it on a Switch.
I HATE playing big games on phones. Phone games for me are quick and easy time wasters, not intense dungeon crawling.
Am I fine with this game existing? Yes, but it isn't for me. At least let me know that you're making something for PC (and now console) gamers. That's what Bethesda did with Blades/ESVI and it was successful.

Being a huge Diablo fan, a part of me died today. I don't want to play a mobile Diablo. Literally any other announcement would have been ok for a hold over. D1/D2 remakes or remasters or even just QOL updates like Starcraft got. Even a new D3 expansion or some content update just something for PC players. But we got this...
Nope. Myself and plenty of others don't give two shits about it.
Blizzard wouldn't allow a bunk developer to take their IP and make a bunk game.
NetEase has a proven track record of doing good work on Mobile.
I look at the Netease portfolio here

and I need some encouragement to be excited
