In keeping with the specific timeframe of Immortal - situated after the events of Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction and before Diablo 3 - these appearances are all distinct from the Diablo 3 classes, though the silhouettes are familiar enough that it should be clear who is who at a glance. One noticeable change since last year’s gameplay demonstration is this: while no other classes have been announced, the new gameplay trailer made very clear the new gender-swapped versions of most of the playable classes are being added.

While Diablo Immortal was still playable on the floor, no updates about it were given on any stage: indeed, all we have to go on is an unnarrated development update video and a blog post, both quietly posted yesterday. Likely hoping to avoid a similar embarrassment this year, Blizzard instead led their opening ceremonies with the long-anticipated Diablo 4 reveal. This was accompanied by a disastrous sequence of events during the Q&A where the project’s head, Wyatt Cheng, was asked point blank if the announcement was an out-of-season April Fools joke. One title conspicuously absent from this year’s opening ceremonies, and indeed from the entire BlizzCon schedule, was Diablo Immortal. Announced as the key new product at BlizzCon 2018, the mobile title attracted a broadly negative reaction from a community that had been first told to get hype but then promptly to rein it in.
