Necromancer, Set Items, And More Coming To Diablo Immortal

Diablo Immortal is poised for a new play session. This time, it’s a closed beta that’s coming to Android only, and it includes a swath of updates, changes, and new additions to the mobile Diablo experience.

It is important to keep in mind what is going on within Activision Blizzard at this time regarding ongoing allegations about the work culture. The ongoing lawsuit from the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) against the company is over reported toxic workplace culture. The bulk of the suit focuses on "violations of the state's civil rights and equal pay laws," specifically regarding the treatment of women and other marginalized groups. To learn more about the proceedings thus far, including details listed in the lawsuit against Activision Blizzard, please check out our previous coverage here.

Of note, the Necromancer joins the roster with a plethora of signature skills, including corpse explosion and skeletal minions. Check out the trailer below for a look at what’s hitting in this beta.

Controller support is also coming in this update, a welcome addition for those of us who want to rid ourselves of the endless swiping and tapping. While the beta features a limited amount of controller options, it hopefully means even more is on the way as the game continues to march along to launch.

Set items and set bonuses are also arriving, allowing players to mix and match powerful set bonuses. Set bonuses are conferred at three and six items, so you can create combos or shoot for a fully-loaded singular kit. Of course, you can utilize just a few set pieces along with legendary items or other gear, too. Set items are not class-specific, so you can try them out with different characters, builds, and loadouts.
