Last minute The world stood up after Putins decision in

Diablo Immortal will be available soon for Android, iOS and PC. Shortly before the release, a number of journalists were able to speak to the developers. Some of the most important topics: Microtransactions and the shop. Because there was a lot of criticism.

What is even discussed?

  • Even before the release, Diablo Immortal could be played in several alpha and beta tests. Players were positively surprised after many were critical of the mobile game.
  • Diablo Immortal becomes Free2Play with an in-game shop. There were major discussions in the community here. Some claimed that if you don’t pay, you’d have to grind 40 years to get the best gear. There were items available for purchase that can speed this up.
  • Influencers also jumped up and partly explained “how crass Pay2Win” Immortal will be. The developers responded to the criticism and promised to make changes to the shop.

    What the bosses say: Joe Grubb is the Principal Game Designer for Diablo Immortal and spoke to us earlier about the changes since beta. In an interview with the gaming website PCGamesN, the topic of the shop came up.

    Grubb promises that microtransactions “will never bypass gameplay.” He says:

    Optional purchases will always be a bonus […] One of our pillars is, “The best way to become more powerful in Diablo Immortal is to play the game.”

    MeinMMO also had the opportunity to talk to bosses and developers. We caught up with Wyatt Cheng (Game Director) and Peiwen Yao (Executive Producer) to chat. Cheng promised us something similar.

    “We will never sell equipment”

    How does the shop work now? In the interview, we only touched on the topic of microtransactions briefly. However, Cheng promised us there: in Diablo Immortal there will never be equipment that can be bought for real money that makes you better.

    If you want to get better, you have to be good. In order to play the classes properly, you need skill and progress comes by playing – not by spending money. Here Cheng and Grubb agree. However, what exactly will be in the shop and what it all costs, we will only find out when it is released.

    In our interview, the main focus was on the gameplay of Diablo Immortal and the future. If you are interested in how the MMO will continue after the release, have a look at MeinMMO. The full interview will be published soon. A little teaser: we talked quite extensively about the Battle Pass and future content updates.

    When can I play Diablo Immortal? Diablo Immortal is coming June 2nd to mobile and PC, albeit with a downside. You can then get your own impression of the Free2Play game and the shop, which is currently the subject of so much criticism.

    The developers have already told us that Diablo Immortal will continue to evolve as a living service game. So if there are still problems with the shop at the time of release, it cannot be ruled out that this will change again.
