Diablo Immortal interview: heavy metal PVP on your mobile

Seamus talks to two of the lead developers on Diablo Immortal – Scott Shicoff, Principal Game Designer, and Kris Zierhut, Senior System Designer – about building an intricate, hardcore PVP system into the game. We explore how the Cycle of Strife works, how the game is being treated like an MMO, the style of play you can expect across PVE and PVP, and how they're going to approach class balance and other critical aspects for this experience. And, ultimately, just how much it means if you become the Immortal Leader.
