Blizzard have revealed that Diablo Immortal has gone live early on mobile devices, allowing players to delve into the fray a day early, before the official launch date.
While Diablo Immortal is set to launch on June 2, Blizzard have confirmed that the game has gone live on mobile a day early.
Writing “starting today at 1PM BST (5AM PST / 8AM EST / 2PM CEST), Diablo Immortal will begin early rollout on iOS and Android,” the devs confirm that “you may begin to see the mobile version propagate at this time and some regions may begin receiving access to the full game.”
Clarifying “the official launch is still June 2, 6PM BST (10AM PST / 1PM EST/ 7PM CEST) and the PC version will be available at that time,” it’s up to chance whether or not your region is granted early access. So, to check for yourself, here’s how to download Diablo Immortal and play early.
How to download and play Diablo Immortal early
Diablo Immortal’s early rollout is only available on mobile, so those looking to dive into the eternal war between the Burning Hells and High Heavens on PC will need to wait a little bit longer.
Additionally, the early drop does not appear to be global. This writer is based in the UK, and can access the full game, but other areas of the world may not have been pushed live just yet.
