5 Diablo Immortal alternatives, until the real one comes out

Diablo Immortal was announced back in 2018 by Blizzard Entertainment. At the time, fans were expecting another game of the Diablo franchise, however, they were stunned when the lead game designer, Wyatt Chang, announced that Diablo Immortal is in the works but it will only be arriving on mobile platforms, both iOS, and Android.

Blizzard Entertainment is bringing the world’s premier action role-playing game series, Diablo, to mobile devices as a free-to-play game called Diablo Immortal. It was expected that Diablo Immortal would be released in 2021, however, back in August 2021, the developers announced that the new Diablo mobile game has been delayed until 2022 to make ensure the final product is worth paying attention to. This also gives them more time to work on more improvements.

Here are some RPG games you can play until Diablo Immortal comes out

Until Diablo Immortal lands on iOS and Android this year, here are a few alternate games that you can try instead.

AnimA

If you have played Diablo II, you may like AnimA. It is a hack-and-slash action RPG that feels and looks a lot like Diablo. The game consists of the traditional isometric camera perspective, loot, a dark fantasy theme, and even the font is consistent with the one found in Diablo. The official website for AnimA says that this game is “inspired by old school games like Diablo and Baldur’s Gate”. AnimA holds intuitive mobile controls, beast performance on every device, and original high-quality graphics. As per the story, players can explore a dark wicked world, discover unrevealed secrets, and make their way through a dark gothic environment, driven by an epic original soundtrack.

Titan Quest: Legendary Edition
