Diablo Immortal SEA Release Delayed to July Over Optimization Issues
Activision Blizzard has announced that Diablo Immortal’s SEA release has been delayed to July 7 PDT (July 8 Morning APAC time) for PC and mobile devices.
Initially scheduled to release on June 22, the game is being delayed by a little over 2 weeks, citing optimization concerns that the company has gathered over its initial Western launch. The following features that will be worked on are as follows:
- Initial build package optimization: Reshuffling the assets downloading sequence so relevant UI would populate properly to improve user experience in-game.
- Android device performance optimization: The install base of mobile devices in Asia Pacific regions is very diverse. Using learnings from the first phase of our launch, we are performing additional compatibility tests to optimize the launch experience.
- PC experience improvements: Including fixes to potion and skills lockout issues, Auto-Navigation, Demon Hunter primary attack, Xbox controller input delay, and more.
- Performance and network optimization: Improvements to deferred multi-lighting particle tech, bug fixes, and more.
