For the Diablo fanbase's most loyal players it was the news

This is a good thing, as even though Diablo Immortal might not look at first glance but it's going to become a huge game changer for the franchise moving forward and will feature MMO-like social features D2R ladder items, an emphasis on PvP, as well as a live-service "living game" strategy that's never seen before previously in Diablo.

For the Diablo fanbase's most loyal players it was the news the game would be coming to PC that helped reset to the previous stage after the disaster that was Diablo Immortal's official announcement. It was immediately clear Diablo fans wanted to experience Diablo Immortal via PC, but it required Blizzard time, spanning more than three years, to bring this wish come true.

As per senior designer Scott Burgess, who recently spoke to GameSpot, Blizzard knew following the game's announcement that fans were eager to participate in Diablo Immortal on PC.

With the realization that dedicated PC gamers would be using mobile emulators to access the game on a PC however, Blizzard began the process of making the PC version of the game to ensure that players could enjoy a full PC experience. What was the reason that it took several months to officially announce Diablo Immortal for PC, Burgess said it was due to polishing.

"Part of the reason we waited so long was we wanted to make sure the game's quality was at a point that we were satisfied with it and happy to release it in tandem with the mobile launch," Burgess said. "We believe that we're at an excellent point."

Diablo Immortal will feature numerous MMO-like features like hub towns that are multiplayer and raids with eight players, PvP battlegrounds as well as the exciting Cycle of Strife system Diablo 2 Resurrected buy items. These are all new features for the franchise, and some of these features, like various PvP modes and the idea of a hub town that is multiplayer that were born during Diablo's development.
