Diablo Immortal Is βPretty Much Readyβ to Launch for Android and iOS
Many gamers have been looking forward to Blizzardβs upcoming mobile game, Diablo Immortal, but there was never a set date for its release on Android and iOS. Well, it turns out that we may not have to wait much longer.
According to developer NetEaseβs CFO Yang Zhaoxuan, the hack-and-slash mobile game is βpretty much readyβ for release and will certainly make it out. The game is currently slated to release in 2019.

While setting aside the worry regarding the regulation change,Β Zhaoxuan offered a quick timetable for the launch ofΒ Diablo Immortal.

Diablo Immortal will be coming to Android and iOS sometime in 2019.
