Blizzard’s highly anticipated mobile game, Diablo Immortal, is set to receive its first new character class in over a decade.
The Blood Knight, a supernatural warrior wielding vampiric powers, will debut in the game on July 13.
This marks the first addition to the Diablo universe since the release of Diablo III in 2012, when the Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, and Crusader were introduced.
Fans were treated to a cinematic trailer unveiling the Blood Knight class during a recent developer update livestream on Diablo IV Season 1.
As a free update, players will soon be able to embrace the supernatural abilities of the Blood Knight in Diablo Immortal, which follows a free-to-play model.
The concept of the Blood Knights revolves around a hybrid melee character class with vampiric characteristics.
Vampires have bitten these warriors but have managed to resist being consumed entirely by the curse through an ancient ritual.
They possess extraordinary attributes such as immortality, an acute sense of smell for blood, and enhanced strength and agility.
One of the most exciting aspects of the Blood Knight class is their ability to transform into powerful vampiric beasts to defeat their enemies.
This transformative skill requires players to continuously defeat foes to maintain the transformation, granting them access to unique skills.
In their humanoid form, Blood Knights employ halberds and utilize blood and shadow magic to devastating effect.
Diablo Immortal offers a class-change feature that allows players to convert their existing characters into different classes while retaining their levels and statistics.
Typically, a cooldown period is associated with changing classes. Still, Blizzard has generously waived this cooldown for the release of the Blood Knight class, allowing players to freely switch to and from the new class for a limited time.
In addition to the new class, the upcoming update for Diablo Immortal will introduce fresh items and events, further enhancing the gameplay experience for players.
The recent celebration of Diablo Immortal’s first anniversary, coupled with the launch of Diablo IV, has generated considerable excitement among fans.
Furthermore, Diablo IV’s inaugural season, the Season of the Malignant, is scheduled to commence on July 20.
