    Prepare Yourself For Diablo Immortal With The DiabloFans Map Tool!

    Diablo Immortal is a huge game with a vast world to explore, and it's easy to get a bit overwhelmed with tracking the location of Quests, Lairs, Chests, Bounties, or Elite spawn locations. Our team has been hard at work creating a tool that allows players to dynamically track the location of all points of interest with the ability to filter out anything you don't need. These maps have been updated to include the latest Diablo Immortal content, including the recently announced and not yet publicly played Realm of Damnation zone.

     

    You can see a preview of our map tool below, but be sure to check it out for yourself and prepare for launch!

    We believe games are for everyone, no matter their ability. This is why the Diablo Immortal team is committed to building a game experience that is accessible to all. We are happy to share an overview of the first round of accessibility features that will be available at the game’s launch. Our initial focus has been on control and chat features to ensure as many players as possible can experience our core gameplay while still being able to form deep social connections. We hope any one or a combination of these features will allow players to tailor their gameplay experience to their needs.

    Codex

    Control Features

    Controller Support and Button Remapping

    You will be able to play Diablo Immortal with controllers on both mobile devices and on PC. Your controller’s presence should be automatically detected the moment the game is launched. Many controls–including skills, accessing chat, and more–can be remapped from the Controller tab of the Settings menu.

    Free Cursor for UI Navigation

    While using a controller, by default, pressing the right arrow on the d-pad will activate a free cursor that will allow you to access and navigate non-gameplay interfaces of the game. The free cursor key bind can also be changed from the Controller tab of the Settings menu.

    Repositioning Skill Buttons

    To provide a more comfortable experience on mobile devices, we have added an option to adjust the position of skill buttons. This can be adjusted from the Controls tab of the Settings menu. In the future, we hope to expand on this functionality by allowing for more discrete control over each individual skill button position.

    Chat Features

    Resizable Chat Text

    Increase the legibility of chat text by enlarging its size by up to 200%. You may select from one of three text size options for the expanded chat interface. This can be adjusted from the Chat tab of the Settings menu. In the future, we hope to expand this feature to allow you to adjust the size of text in the chat preview window on the main game screen.

    Voice Chat Transcription for Chat

    Unable to join voice chat? No problem! Use Voice Chat Transcription to convert Party voice chat into written text. A Voice Chat Transcription control has been added alongside Party voice chat controls, allowing you to toggle the feature on and off as desired while in a Party.

    Text to Speech for Chat

    Once enabled, the Text-to-Speech feature will narrate incoming chat messages aloud with a synthetic voice based on the chat channels you have enabled. The feature boasts additional customization options to adjust narrations to your needs:

    • Ability to control which chat channels are narrated
    • Audio alerts to separate messages from each other
    • Option to have a player’s own messages be narrated
    • Two options of voice packs to select from
    • Narration speed and volume control
    • Text-to-Speech chat commands for easier control of system settings

    Text-to-Speech will be supported in select languages at launch.

    Speech-to-Text

    Most modern phones include built-in speech-to-text functionality with their platform keyboards. We wanted to provide this same convenience to our PC players. This feature can be enabled from the Chat tab of the Settings menu. Once enabled, a Speech-to-Text button will appear in the chat window, allowing you to convert your spoken words into editable text before sending to the desired chat channel.

    Audio Cues for Chat

    Auditory cues have been included to help notify you of important social moments in the game. This includes cues for receiving messages from other players, receiving Party or Raid invites, controlling voice chat and sending voice memos–just to name a few. The volume of these cues can be adjusted in the General tab of the Settings menu.

    Graphic Features

    World Brightness

    The world of Sanctuary can be a dark place. You may increase the visibility of the game world by adjusting the World Brightness option from the Display tab in the Settings Menu. Soon, we hope to add additional visual accessibility options for higher contrast settings and color blindness.

    Looking Forward

    We look forward to these features getting in the hands of our players and continuing to expand our accessibility options. We will continue to field feedback from our community, as well as from players with disabilities directly—to continue to learn and develop Diablo Immortal into one of the most epic entertainment experiences ever! If you would like to participate in upcoming playtests and studies, you may sign up on the Blizzard Research website. Let’s make Sanctuary accessible to all; together.

Only then will you have a chance in Hell of thwarting Skarn’s nefarious plan.

     

    Before you begin to traverse the eight expansive zones of Diablo® Immortal™ as a Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, or Wizard, we’ve assembled this roadmap to get you ready for Hell, and when the time comes, march into Sanctuary unabated.

    Codex

    Global Launch Schedule

    As we prepare to launch Diablo Immortal on June 2 at 10 a.m. PDT for iOS, Android, and PC in Open Beta, some players will see Immortal propagate on the Apple App Store and Google Play beginning the morning of June 1 PDT. This is in part due to the nature of how mobile games rollout and to ensure a smooth full launch for the mobile version of Immortal. To confirm when Immortal will be fully launched for your region on all platforms, please reference the below time map. For time zone conversion assistance, please click here.

     

    As previously mentioned, Diablo Immortal will launch for PC in Open Beta, Android, and iOS in some Asia Pacific regions on June 22 PDT: including Hong Kong, Indonesia, Macao, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. Immortal will also launch on the same date in Vietnam but for PC in Open Beta only. These regions will receive dedicated game servers to bring players better connectivity and ping too.

    Starting today, you can pre-load Diablo Immortal for PC from Battle.net. Heat up your PC in advance, and once Immortal fully launches on June 2, you can kick open the gate to Hell and get to demon slaying at break-neck pace!

     

    Installation and Play Instructions

    Once Diablo Immortal launches—before you can begin to undo the damage brought to Sanctuary by Skarn’s legions of bloodthirsty invaders—you’ll need to download and install Diablo Immortal on your platform of choice.

    Please Note: Guest accounts are only accessible on the device they are created on, unless cloud backup is enabled.

     

     

    Community and Customer Support

    Just as the armies of the Burning Hells are keen on allowing the Lord of Terror to materialize, we are hellbent on providing you with a seamless return to Sanctuary to combat this evil. More importantly, the fate of Sanctuary hinges upon your continued valor on the frontlines. In the event you encounter any demonic trickery on launch day, please reach out to us. We will be keeping a watchful eye on the Blizzard Forums, Blizzard CS Twitter account, and any reported issues via the Customer Support Portal to help get you back into the fray swiftly.

     

    We cannot begin to express how excited we are for you to soon begin your quest in Diablo Immortal. With that said, we would like to thank the multitude of players who provided crucial feedback throughout Diablo Immortal’s development, much of which influenced the very game you will play on June 2.

     

    Good, now you’re ready for Hell!

    Exactly 10 years ago today, brave Nephalem arrived in the town of New Tristram to investigate a falling star. This discovery would give way to a divine ally and a quest to stop a sinister plot to destroy Sanctuary and the High Heavens. Even after the final blow was struck, and Diablo defeated, these same valiant Nephalem continued to protect those in need. We—and Sanctuary—thank you for your decade-worth of valor, dedication, and your vanquishing of endless nightmarish threats to have been birthed by the Burning Hells.

     

    Remember, this 10-year milestone for Diablo III was made possible by YOU, Nephalem, many of whom have spent countless hours demon-slaying, looting, and creating memorable moments to look back on. To show our undying appreciation for the support of more than 65 million Nephalem worldwide over the past 10 years, we have an exciting announcement for the Echoing Nightmare and will be providing a mid-season buff. But first, we want to thank you once more for celebrating the 10th anniversary of Diablo III with us!

    Echoing Nightmare Update

    Since Season 26 began, many Nephalem have sought to avenge their fallen allies in the Echoing Nightmare. We have received positive feedback around the Echoing Nightmare and are truly glad to see you’ve enjoyed battling the horrors of Nephalem’s past while gaining experience and powerful loot along the way.

     

    Therefore, the Echoing Nightmare will become a permanent feature in Diablo III. Creating challenging, new, and exciting end-game experiences is always top of mind for us, so we’re excited to be keeping this experience around for good. This experience will be available for year-round play. If you have not had the opportunity to try the Echoing Nightmare out yet, get a taste of what it entails from our Season 26 blog.

    Mid-Season Double Bounties Event

    The reward for hunting down some of Sanctuary’s most wanted just got a little sweeter! All bounties will be doubled from now until Season 26 ends. Here’s a breakdown of how you’ll have the chance to score more Legendary loot, such as the coveted Ring of Royal Grandeur.

     

    After completing all five bounties in an act, you will be rewarded with twice the Horadric Caches you would normally receive, as dictated by the difficulty level you’re playing on. Reward drop rates will remain unchanged during this event. But more caches mean more opportunities to obtain that essential piece of gear that will bolster your Nephalem’s build. For a refresher on the bounty-exclusive Legendary items that may be obtained from Horadric Caches, check out our Game Guide.

     

    There are many hardy foes peppered throughout Sanctuary for you to collect the bounty on—venture forth and dare to lay claim to the spoils!
