This was near the top of players' wishlists coming out of Diablo Immortal's playable alphas and betas, something that Blizzard was actively investigating for over a year.

However, it looks like this new version includes one of the game's most requested features: controller support. Given how adamant Blizzard was about Diablo Immortal being an exclusively mobile experience, one that was built from the ground up for iOS and Android, the sudden appearance of a PC version is surprising. Those looking for a PvE challenge can take on the uber-powerful Helliquary bosses, either alone or with seven other friends. Up to 150 players can form Clans, which leads to the game's ambitious PvP setup. The main difference from its predecessors is that Immortal reaches farther with an MMO aesthetic, allowing players to share Sanctuary with millions of other players. There are six playable classes: The Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard.

There are eight different zones to explore, as players quest for the shattered pieces of the corrupted Worldstone, taking on the forces of Hell along the way. For those who don't know, Diablo Immortal canonically takes place between the events of Diablo 2 and 3, and features much of the franchise's hack-and-slash action RPG style. Most Diablo fans should know what they're in for at this point. That means that you can level your character up while waiting at the DMV or at the doctor's office, then come home and pick up where you left off on your PC. On top of that, cross-play and cross-progression will be supported across all platforms. Any progress made on the open beta will be saved for the full launch. However, Blizzard will also release a PC open beta on that same day. It will release as a free-to-play title across all regions with the exception of Asia-Pacific, which will receive its version a few weeks later.

The iOS and Android versions of Diablo Immortal are set to release on June 2. On Monday, Diablo Immortal got a release date for mobile devices, but Blizzard now also appears to be putting work in on a PC version. When Blizzard announced that it was starting development on Diablo Immortal, a mobile take on the franchise, the question was infamously asked of its audience, 'Don't you have phones?' Well, as it turns out, that doesn't really matter anymore.
