The mobile game Diablo Immortal can be played in alpha status. A small group of players in Australia can test the game, even if it is an early version. Diablo Immortal comes with in-app purchases.
Blizzard says several thousand players in Australia alone can play the game. This allows the developer to test whether the server stability is good enough. It is a ‘technical alpha’ of the game, which can be played for a few weeks. Users must have an Android phone with at least a Snapdragon 710-soc, or an iPhone higher than an iPhone 8 running iOS 12 or higher.
In the first alpha of the game, players can choose from four classes. Those are the Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk and Wizard. The final game also includes the Crusader and Necromancer, but Blizzard is still working on that. The game includes Elder Rifts, and Zone Trails sidequests that have unique end goals.
Diablo Immortal will be free-to-play, Blizzard confirms. The story, classes and all gameplay will be free and there is no limit on playtime and progression. Players can, for example, buy battle passes for extra unlocks. Equipment and weapons must be collected by players in the game, they are not for sale.
