The Diablo Immortal team has posted a new blog on the game’s official site to discuss some of its discoveries made during the closed beta phase that has recently wrapped up. Blizzard ran the closed beta from October 2021 to early January and the team has detailed a number of interesting aspects of the testing phase.
During CBT, players were able to test a number of the upcoming mobile ARPG’s systems including the newly-added Necromancer class, Cycle of Strife Updates, Set Items, Helliquary Updates, and Controller Support.
