Blood Knights are humans who have been bitten by vampires, but, through means of an ancient ritual, halt the curse of Thralldom. Vampires are like a “living plague” in the world of Diablo, the developers said, and their victims sometimes devolve into Thralls (lesser vampiric beings) after being bitten.
The lore of the Blood Knight is based on Diablo’s version of vampires. The Blood Knight can feel a bit slow at first, the developers said, but can also transform into a powerful monster, known as an Abomination, and perform powerful hand-to-hand blows against hordes of enemies. It’s the first new class for the Diablo series in nearly a decade, after the Crusader’s introduction in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.ĭiablo Immortal developers described the Blood Knight as a melee hybrid class that uses polearms for close combat. The Blood Knight will be the seventh playable class in Diablo Immortal, joining the Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard. One Diablo Immortal player used $50,000 worth of WoW gold to beat "cash whales" at their own game.Blizzard will introduce a new class to the world of Diablo on July 13, bringing the Blood Knight to Diablo Immortal, the developer confirmed Thursday during a developer update livestream. The closest it gets is committing to "collecting suggestions and feedback for the game" and "sharing more updates in future patches." But for now, it looks like business as usual – and despite the microtransaction backlash, business is booming, with Immortal delivering Diablo's biggest launch ever. Notably absent from Blizzard's post is any acknowledgement of the roiling discourse over the game's monetization, pricing, and drop rates, which was only stoked by new estimates which value a fully maxed-out character at exorbitant prices reaching into the hundreds of thousands.ĭropping mortgage-worthy money on a game is an alien reality to almost everyone, but the mere possibility of such a corner case has understandably raised some questions about Diablo Immortal, and the enormous power gap between free-to-play or low-spending players and those with even moderately deep pockets remains undeniable.īlizzard doesn't address Diablo Immortal's monetization or the response to it in its season 2 post. The rest of the current season 2 patch notes are filled out by balance changes – with Monk and Wizard getting some buffs – and a laundry list of bug fixes.
