Game highlights in June: These games are not to be missed
by Philipp Rüegg
From black sheep to the most ambitious "Diablo" project of all time? Diablo Immortal", which was presented amid boos, doesn't want to be a cheap mobile rip-off and is even released for PC. I'll take a look at it on Friday starting at 11 am.
Blizzard will never forget this evening. Instead of the usual cheers and applause at Blizzcon, the announcement of Diablo Immortal was met with questioning looks. Many fans saw it as an affront that the traditional PC studio was developing a "Diablo" mobile game. Especially because the eagerly awaited "Diablo IV" was not shown.
Four years have passed since the inglorious event. Now "Diablo Immortal", developed in cooperation with the Chinese studio Netease, is here - contrary to earlier statements also for PC. It is "the most ambitious Diablo we have made to date," says "Diablo" boss Rod Fergusson. Well then. As a long-time fan, I'll have to take a closer look at the whole thing. Am I in for a lootbox hell or just the tried and true warm and cozy inferno of Diablo, the lord of hell?
"Diablo Immortal is available on Android and iOS and as an open beta on PC.
As a child, I wasn't allowed to have any consoles. It was only with the arrival of the family's 486 PC that the magical world of gaming opened up to me. Today, I'm overcompensating accordingly. Only a lack of time and money prevents me from trying out every game there is and decorating my shelf with rare retro consoles.
