The game’s first major update added a new raid boss, and bosses don’t just pop out of thin air. While Diablo Immortal has a complete start-to-finish narrative at the moment, Blizzard has confirmed that it will add more story content to the game over time. Especially once Diablo 4 gets closer to launch, some kind of tie-in event seems inevitable. But I do think that the game deserves credit - however slight - for at least having an original story, and for tying it explicitly to Diablo 2 and Diablo 3.ĭiablo 4 may or may not have explicit links to Diablo Immortal’s story, but I have to imagine that Blizzard will take advantage of the connection somehow.
My opinion on that hasn’t changed in the last few months. In my review, I noted that Diablo Immortal had a dull, repetitive narrative that copied Diablo II’s story almost beat-for-beat. From the wise scholar Deckard Cain, to the conflicted archangel Tyrael, Blizzard put a lot of work into making Diablo a little more than just a mindless hack-and-slash, and Diablo Immortal respects that legacy. But the world of Sanctuary has a pretty interesting backstory, and the Diablo series has had a handful of intriguing characters. Granted, the Diablo games have always prioritized gameplay over story, and plenty of players have gleefully skipped past the cutscenes to get back to the business of mowing down demons. There’s one other reason why it may be worth checking out Diablo Immortal, and that’s the story.
