Waiting for the release of Diablo 4 is a tedious task for fans of the Blizzard franchise. For this reason, many have turned to the mobile offering, Diablo Immortal, to hold them over until the fourth installment is launched.

Because of this, many within the player base are now asking if the miniature ARPG is going to be different compared to its full-scale counterpart. Well, your search is now over because we’ve looked into the similarities and differences between both games below. With that said, let’s get right into it, shall we?
Will Diablo 4 be like Diablo Immortal?
No, Diablo 4 will not be like Diablo Immortal mainly due to the fact that they’re playable on completely different platforms. Since the latter is Blizzard’s mobile offering, most aspects of the game were scaled down so that it could perform smoothly and without issue. The dungeons and activities in particular are shortened versions of the actual activity as they typically only take between 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

Diablo 4, however, is playable on almost all consoles, which indicates that the events that players can participate in will not be as short as its mobile counterpart. Full blown raids and boss battles will most likely take more than a few minutes and may also be more difficult than what Immortal had to offer. This also means that fans can immerse themselves even more in the bleak world of Sanctuary.
The story also takes place five years after the events of Diablo 2, meaning that the setting will also be completely different. Blizzard’s fourth franchise installment, on the other hand, occurs thirty years after Diablo 3 following the war that nearly obliterated Sanctuary and the people within.
