Diablo Immortal takes place between the events of Diablo II and Diablo III. As Sanctuary recovers from the aftermath of Baal's invasion and the destruction of Mount Arreat, powerful malevolent forces seek the remains of the World Stone for their evil desires.

What's new for Diablo Immortal at BlizzCon 2019?

This year, attendees will also be able to try out the Demon Hunter through a slice of open-world play across the town of Wortham and the open-air area of Ashwold Cemetery.
Here we can see the game's new mechanic: Ultimate Abilities. All classes must charge their chosen Ultimate using basic attacks. Once this charge is complete, players can choose to increase their basic attack for a short period of time by using a monstrous display of strength, cunning or magic.

A first look at the equipment system can also be seen, including the first legendary loots designed to alter player skills. Turn a flaming fireball into an icy ice orb, change the way Explosive Palm works to target multiple enemies and spread damage among them, or turn deadly arrows into grenades.
