Does anyone know? I mean, I know its a mobile game and its not the most anticipated game of all time and so on, but I am still wondering what going on there...how is it possible that this takes all those years to finish?

I would love to have a new game to play on my daily way to work, so I kinda look forward to it.

i hope the game gets canceled.

apple keep updating their iphone lineups (they are on iphone 13 atm) so small indy company like blizzard stuck with their old developed coding for diablo immortal when it was still on iphone 9. They cant keep up with the new updates and demands to technology

any reasons for this stupid opinion? How about just ignoring it if it ever releases?

lol 😆

Not stupid. I am in the “please cancel” camp. This gane is not going to be a hit. Controls action RPG on a touchscreen phone is clumsy. Try playing torchlight if you wanna see how it is like. It is better if blizzard don’t get distracted and finishes diablo 4 earlier. It already looked like a much better game on their demos and trailers.

Any reasons for being so angry about someone’s opinion? How about ignoring it?

People hate games with 2-3 dollar microtransactions because it's pay2win. Then they'll spend a couple grand on some FG to buy that high end GG rare item that just came out to be the best.

That being said, the game looks to be a poor remake of D3. And it's not like mobile games can't be done; I've been playing higher performance mobile games for over a decade, and something like Diablo on the phone is quite plausible to do. It's just that nobody asked for it. D2R should have come first.

As for it not being released yet, probably development and priority issues. Beta was gone through, but one delay after another makes you wonder.

I have a "hot take" on this situation, myself that honestly I think a lot of people in this community alone will agree with - I think Diablo Immortals should have been canned ever since the initial reaction to it with "Do you guys not have phones?" - It was extraordinarily clear that this was not what Blizzard's fans wanted and they should have taken the hint so they could cut their losses. They are trying to develop too many things at once and are being stretched too thin when they are already disliked by the general population in the current climate.

Here are things they are working on (strikethroughs indicate possible abandonment and lack of recent development):

D2R
D3
D4
HotS
W3R
Hearthstone
Overwatch
Overwatch 2
Starcraft Remastered
Starcraft 2
WoW
CoD:BOCW
CoD:Vanguard
CoD:MW
CoD:BO4
CoD:MW2
Crash Bandicoot 4
WoW2?
A couple of new IPs
AND Diablo Immortals

It is perhaps a possibility that they are "in too deep" now in development with Immortals, but investing development efforts into it have been a mistake in my opinion. Many of their games are just dead. With everything going on with them right now, they need to return to their roots and focus on the basics.

I thought that Immortal was primarily being developed by a Chinese company.

The blowback is because of that, plus the fact that it seemed to be a copy cat of this Chinese company’s other game, and that it’s also got gamble boxes and pay to win.

Long story short, a greedy cash grab.
