2K View2020-12-18

Q. How do I take part in the Technical Alpha?

A. Starting today, a limited amount of Android users who have pre-registered in Australia will be able to download the Diablo Immortal Technical Alpha from the Google Play Store.

Q. How many players will take part in the Technical Alpha? Why Australia?

A. We anticipate a couple of thousand players will be able to take part in the Technical Alpha. Mobile game development can often benefit from multiple rounds of public testing. By holding this limited Technical Alpha in a smaller region, we’ll be able to take in valuable server stability and client performance data, as well as critical gameplay feedback, to ensure that Diablo Immortal feels like a great experience before going wider in the future.

Q. How long will the Technical Alpha last?

A. We are aiming to keep the Technical Alpha running for just a couple weeks of testing. This will allow us to get just the right amount of gameplay feedback as well as server stability and client performance data.

Q. What devices does Diablo Immortal support?

A. We are aiming to bring epic Diablo gameplay to as many devices and players as possible. The Diablo Immortal Technical Alpha will be playable on Apple devices and Android devices and have the following minimum requirements:

[i]Android Minimum Requirements

[/i]◦ CPU - Snapdragon 710 / Hisilicon Kirin 810 and higher

◦ GPU - Adreno 616 / ARM Mali-G52 and higher

◦ RAM - 2GB of RAM and higher

◦ Version: Android OS 5.0 (Lollipop) and higher

[i]Apple Minimum Requirements

Q. Why only four classes?

A. Diablo Immortal will launch with six playable classes—the Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, and Wizard, as well as the Crusader and Necromancer. We also plan to add even more new classes to the game in the future. We are focusing our gameplay testing in the Technical Alpha on the initial four classes as the other two classes are still undergoing iteration.

Q. What parts of Diablo Immortal are free and what do I need to pay for?

A. Diablo Immortal is free-to-play—that includes all the story, all the classes, and as much gameplay as you want—we will never limit game time. All future content will be free as well, including additional story, new classes, and new zones. Optional in-game purchases will never stand in the way of progression or enjoying the game—they should only complement the core gameplay. For more information, see our blog.

Q. Is Diablo Immortal “Pay-to-Win”?

A. No. Diablo Immortal is a free-to-play game where all gear is earned by players and you can’t pay your way to victory. Optional in-game purchases are cosmetic or serve to complement gameplay. For more details on our free-to-play values, [u][/u]see our blog.

Q. When will Diablo Immortal be released?

A. We do not have a release date to share at this time.
