The game will be able to have a simultaneous launch on PC with full keyboard-and-mouse as well as controller support, as well as cross-progression, and cross-play with mobile support at launch. This was the result of a beta test in which gamers' creators indicated that they'd require an emulated version of the game to display the game on their D2R Items platforms According to Rod Fergusson, general manager of the Diablo franchise.

"The idea of not having Native support available for PC and content creators wasn't a pleasant thought," he said. The work quickly started to bring parity from mobile to PC, making sure the game operates exactly the same way with user interfaces and control systems specifically designed for desk warriors. Ultimately, the questions from 2018 around why the game even exists changed into questions from fans who wanted to know when the game was scheduled to launch -- and begging for a PC port.

"If you're logging into and are looking forward to the quick 3 or five minute journey into an dungeon, a lot of thought went into"OK, where were you? What are we looking for you to be? Do you need to be near a hub for social interaction?" Grubb said. "When you access Westmarch our largest social city, there are ways to connect within the city for the elder gaps and the rifts that challenge."

The average time of play for sessions, Grubb said, was actually much longer, around 45 minutes. The sessions were repeated through the whole day. This is when the team realized they had struck a great balance between quick play sessions and runs long enough to justify parking in front of computers.

The game will function as a live service. This means that the team has plans for many free updates, said executive producer Peiwen Yao.

"The new updates include dungeons, storyline missions, bosses, gameplay features and new classes" she said, adding that she didn't know the details of those plans yet.

Cheng said he remains confident in his plans to bring the Diablo series to mobile devices. The idea seems sensible, particularly considering there's a myriad of Diablo clones available on smartphones. The historical and mainstream appeal the Diablo brand brings to the D2R Ladder Items buy genre is a major element in its favor.
