“Because the process of collecting Legendary affixes is time-consuming, we expect players who focus on a single class will have some advantages, like a broader selection of available character builds. “We want your original class selection to be a meaningful choice, so we’re discussing limits to system that still give you freedom to try out something new,” Blizzard said. ( Android players have been able to pre-register on the web or through the Google Play Store.) If 30 million do so before Diablo Immortal’s (unnanounced) launch date, then Blizzard will give everyone a free set of skins, the “Horadrim Cosmetic set,” which is based on the in-world Brotherhood of the Horadrim.

Starting today, iOS users can pre-register to download the game for their iPhone or iPad. Players who buy the Battle Pass will unlock the gear theme for all classes, and others will be on sale through the in-game shop.īlizzard’s also hoping that a “pre-order” campaign for the free-to-play game will stoke interest in its cosmetics.

In the same post on Monday, Blizzard said it planned “to roll out a new cosmetic set for all classes each month,” which matched that month’s Battle Pass theme.

That said, Class Change appears to support another mobile-specific - and therefore, monetized - feature: cosmetics and other customizations. “We also didn’t want anyone to feel obligated to keep a roster of alt characters to gather rewards and resources, or to match the shifting demands of other competitive systems.” “We didn’t want to force our players into the hard choice of giving up progress on their main character to support an alt,” Blizzard said. Blizzard says when players switch classes, they’ll retain their overall XP progress, “receive a new set of equipped items appropriate to your new class,” and the old ones will be held in reserve. Diablo Immortal, the mobile adaptation of Blizzard Entertainment’s dungeon-crawling franchise, will allow players to change their character classes while maintaining their overall progression, developers said in an announcement on Monday.Ĭlass Change is pitched as a way to let players explore every class without starting from scratch for each one.
