Diablo Immortal Closed Beta Announced, Necromancer class revealed
Following a successful Closed Alpha Test earlier in the year which saw the community give valuable feedback, Diablo Immortal will be having a Closed Beta Test that will be available for Android devices in select regions.
The Closed Beta Test will begin starting October 28 at 5 PM Pacific (that’s October 29 at 8 AM Philippines) and a limited number of lucky participants who have been chosen will be able to play the game and take on the forces of evil. The Closed Beta Test will be open for several weeks to test various features.
Closed Beta servers will be open in Canada, where local players are able to test Diablo Immortal for the very first time, and in Australia. In the coming weeks, Blizzard will also open servers in Korea, Japan, and China, where the game test build will be available in local languages.
