We are glad to announce that following Diablo Immortal’s global launch on June 2, beginning on June 22 PT, brave adventurers from the rest of Asia Pacific can take up arms against the demonic forces of Skarn, Lord of Damnation.

The Realm of Damnation is the personal hell of a demon lord. Blizzard has posted an official preview of the zone coming in Diablo Immortal.
(Source)
If you haven’t followed Diablo Immortal’s Closed Beta Test, this preview picks up where the zone of Frozen Tundra leaves off. If you missed that preview, you can catch up here. Spoilers ahead.
Diablo® Immortal’s™ launch storyline sends you racing after the cataclysmic shards of the Worldstone, the artifact used to create Sanctuary. After you’ve explored frozen wastes and festering swamps and cemeteries choked with the risen dead, your quest will take you somewhere people who played the Closed Beta haven’t seen yet.
The Realm of Damnation is the personal hell of a demon lord. It’s a corner of the Burning Hells where Skarn, the mastermind pursuing the Worldstone shards, gets to play judge, jury, and executioner (repeatedly).
I’m Ryan Quinn, Narrative Designer on Diablo Immortal, and I’ll be your guide to Skarn’s plane of agony and rebirth along with Hunter Schulz, Art Director.
At the end of the Frozen Tundra story quest, you’ll follow Skarn into his lair and uncover what he’s been planning for humanity and the Worldstone—but you won’t immediately come face to face with the Lord of Damnation or all of his forces.
The Forest of Misery
There is an impulse to limit hellish landscapes to one note, and there shouldn't be a question whether you are in Hell or not, but Diablo Immortal’s zone maps are large, and we really like having visual variation to keep your journey interesting and make it easier to remember locations and cool moments.
First, you’ll need to fight through the twisted canopies of the Forest of Misery. In the darkness swarm Rasplets and Gnarled Pawns, demons who’ve failed Skarn and had their bodies fused with parts of the realm as punishment.
The Old Growth, voiced by James Goode, is the most massive, venerable danger in the wood.
We tried to reflect environmental shapes and colors in the Realm of Damnation’s creature design (taking a breather from the classic reddish demon you see elsewhere in the fires of Hell).
We wanted the pawns to feel at home in this environment, as if they had evolved there, or at the very least been transformed by it.
The Last Vestige
Years ago, a group of angel sentinels discovered the Realm of Damnation while it was taking shape from hellish chaos. Cut off from the Heavens and trapped, they’ve carved out a foothold in Skarn’s home. As you leave the Forest of Misery behind, you’ll join the survivors in their besieged encampment: The Last Vestige.
The angels’ warleader, Verathiel, is utterly relentless; her band has been hunting demonic threats outside the Battlefields of Eternity for eons. But being stranded in the Realm of Damnation is a greater challenge than any they’ve faced. As the wielder of the angelic dagger Yl’nira, you have a chance to gather some allies in Hell. . .if you can save them from a truly awful fate.
Skarn, Lord of Damnation
At the end of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction™, the archangel Tyrael realized that the Worldstone had been corrupted, and he shattered it before it could doom all of Sanctuary. The resulting disaster discorporated Tyrael, and ruined Arreat and much of the north. Skarn wants nothing more than to pick up the pieces.
Painting by Brom
Yet little has been recorded of him. At the defeat of the Prime Evils in Diablo II, war was raging within the Hells, with no clear victor despite great evils like Azmodan and Belial claiming massive realms of their own. Skarn flourished during this age, but demonologists cannot say whether he led an army, or simply used the conflict as an opportunity to capture parts of the Hells for himself. Most do not even know him by name.
What is clear about Skarn is his abiding interest in humanity. In just a few years, he has gathered a massive cult of followers who tempt and deceive to swell their ranks among the Western Kingdoms. The power of creation is nearly at their disposal.
Sounds of the Realm
Our audio team really pushed themselves to make sure Skarn’s cruelty and grand ambitions take root in every ominous corner of the zone. Give a listen to “Realm of Damnation.”
You’ll hear plenty from Skarn, voiced by Steve Blum, and Verathiel, voiced by Kimberly Brooks, once the Realm of Damnation is in your hands.
Demon Gates
Nothing about this environment is inviting—it's a graveyard of bones and spiny rocks! Thin membranes underneath it all hold back the hellish, fiery core from below.
Skarn’s domain is bloated with activities, and you can expect the same kinds of wilderness gameplay present in Immortal’s other zones: lairs, bounties, events, quests, and plenty of loot.
Zones in Diablo Immortal are vast spaces packed with enemies, events, hidden lairs and treasure. As a point of reference: in red, the map outline of Diablo III’s Fields of Misery; in blue, the Realm of Damnation.
There are also unique challenges you’d only find in Hell. Demon Gates appear multiple times per day in random locations throughout the Realm of Damnation. To bolster his armies, Skarn has opened his doors to demons from elsewhere in the Burning Hells. Demons arrive through portals throughout the zone on a timer—with a party of three, you can hunt down where they’ll emerge, enter their gateways, and kill them before they lend further power to the legions of Damnation. These fights are kinetic encounters with significant rewards, and you’ll be able to earn bonus loot from three per day.
New Dungeon – Pit of Anguish
Similarly vital to Skarn’s plot are the Pits of Anguish—spawning pools for Abyssal Gargantuans buried deep in the Hells. One pit in particular serves as our dungeon for the zone; when you set foot on its shores, you’ll battle blade-wielding demonic cultivators and tackle a screen-filling boss fight with the most blood by volume of any in the game.
Zaka is one of the more memorable enemies you'll run into in the Realm of Damnation. One thing that isn't instantly clear in this illustration is his size; there’s also a twist to this boss battle we're excited to see players react to.
In every Diablo game, your journey takes you from landscapes that are bleak and seemingly real to places that are truly otherworldly. We’re excited to show off a new facet of the Burning Hells, one that’s got a couple twists on the lava and horns you might expect.
Don’t let that statement worry you. We still love lava and horns—you'll see. On behalf of the Diablo Immortal team: we hope you are ready for Hell!

Blizzard is bringing Diablo Immortal to PC with Open Beta starting June 2 with cross-play and cross-progression. The deciding factor was that they knew many would attempt to play the game through an emulator, so they went for developing a standalone version for PC.
The Diablo Immortal development team details the whole process in the blog post below.
(Source)
You asked, and we delivered! The team is proud to announce that Diablo Immortal will launch simultaneously on mobile and in Open Beta on PC—complete with cross-play and cross-progression. We have gone the extra mile to preserve major elements of the iconic Diablo control scheme so that you can slay monsters in the comfort of your own home chair.
A BRIEF HISTORY
The decision to develop Diablo Immortal for PC was one that the team went back and forth on for a large part of the development process. On one hand, we felt that we wouldn’t be doing the title justice by releasing a game originally designed for mobile on PC; on the other hand, we wanted to make sure the game reached as many players as possible—especially our most dedicated PC fans. In the end, the deciding factor was that we knew many of you would attempt to play this game through an emulator, thus leading us towards building a better experience. So stay awhile and listen as we delve into more details on the PC version of Diablo Immortal.
A DIABOLIC CONTROL SCHEME
FAMILIAR TOOLS
To stay true to the Diablo experience, we meticulously translated the finger tapping and swiping controls from mobile into the age-old mouse and keyboard. Much like previous Diablo titles, you’ll be left-clicking to move your character and attack monsters while pressing keys to perform abilities and drink potions.
Keyboard button mapping options for PC.
The quest to determine our default control scheme involved many rounds of feedback from playtest sessions.We tried several alternative setups that didn’t quite hit the mark, and ultimately opted to return to the classic layout with some minor adjustments.
NEW TO THE ARSENAL
While not a part of Diablo’s history, we decided to include W/A/S/D directional controls as an additional movement tool. The reason behind this choice was that we felt it was an intuitive way to move your character around, instead of relentlessly left-clicking for both moving and attacking. In addition, moving while attacking simultaneously, such as with certain charged abilities, is native to the game on mobile and we wanted you to be able to do this too. A simple mouse control scheme would not have allowed for these operations.
On PC, W/A/S/D can be used to move your character around.
In the end, we felt that this was the correct scheme to give you the classic Diablo feeling, while also injecting some new options for you to experiment with. The controls should feel familiar and natural to ARPG players. And if you don’t prefer our scheme, we have included the ability to rebind controls to your personal preference. Pummel monsters in whichever way you see fit!
CONTROLLER SUPPORT
For all of the console gamers out there, we have included controller support for PC! The behaviors will mimic the mobile version—detection will be a seamless experience and many controls will be remappable to your liking as well.
Default controller button mappings for both PC and mobile.
IMMORTALIZING THE USER INTERFACE
SCALING THE HUD
Diablo Immortal was built for mobile first, meaning UI elements tend to be larger while accommodating phone screen sizes. Scaling down the HUD was one of our first priorities—we want you to be able to see the game while also not accidentally clicking on the UI! And so, we have properly shrunk the portrait, mini map, top-level menu buttons, and ability icons to a comfortable size, maximizing your viewport for action.
* { box-sizing: border-box; } .column { float: left; width: 50%; padding: 1px; } /* Clearfix (clear floats) */ .row::after { content: ""; clear: both; display: table; } HUD elements have been scaled down to an appropriate size for PC.
MENU INTERFACES
We wanted to simultaneously ship mobile and PC to start building the cross-play MMO community together. This meant that keeping the interfaces intact across both platforms was extremely important, even if slightly large for the desktop experience. While there will not be many behaviors custom tailored for desktop, and some menu interactions may resemble their mobile counterparts, we made sure to include hotkeys for all major functions, eliminating the need to manually click each function.
Menu interfaces will keep mobile scaling.
CHAT EXPERIENCE
All Blizzard desktop games come with the expectation of having a fully-functional chat system, integrated with all of Battle.net’s bells and whistles. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that Immortal is no different.
PARTING THOUGHTS
Diablo Immortal on PC is an experiment from Blizzard. We didn’t originally plan to put this game on desktop—but as soon as it became a possibility, we knew we had to take the time to make it happen. If you’re a longtime Diablo player, the result will feel a little different from other PC Diablo games—but we’re extremely excited about clicking Immortal’s demons dead with our mouse, and we hope you will be too. We understand that many of you are seasoned PC veterans, and we want to arm you with familiar tools as you journey back through Sanctuary. This is a thank you letter from Blizzard, and we hope to see you all in hell when PC enters Open Beta in June!
