Diablo Immortal Hits Closed Beta on Android – New Updates, a Necromancer, and Classic Controllers
Blizzard’s first mobile venture, Diablo Immortal, is stepping into the closed‑beta stage on Android. After listening to players during earlier tests, the devs have rolled out a suite of fresh features that promise to sharpen both PvP and PvE.
What’s New?
- Necromancer Class – Raise skeletal minions and command a funeral army to crush your foes.
- Balancing Tweaks – The PvP and PvE lines have been fine‑tuned to keep battles exciting.
- Controller Support – Now you can play on real hardware.

Some of the big highlights are:

Enter the Challenge of the Immortal Mode
Blizzard has added a high‑stakes PvP boss‑fight to the Cycle of Strife. Here’s the scoop:
- The top‑ranked Immortal becomes a raid boss.
- They face off against the thirty highest‑ranked Shadows.
- If the Immortal is defeated, the Shadows get resurrected and immediately dive into a chaotic battle royale.
- Only the last survivor gets to claim the Immortal title.
It’s a masterclass in asymmetric gameplay – one player’s ‘king of the hill’ against a daunting squad of 30. And it captures the game’s grim, soul‑shredding vibe in a way that feels brand‑new. With this new mechanic, designing clever counters and strategies becomes even richer.
Why You’ll Still Love This Mobile Game
Mobile folklore? Sure, but Blizzard’s creative choices make Diablo Immortal a must‑try. Whether you’re a long‑time fan or a newcomer, the game’s content feels fresh and engaging.
