Diablo Immortal is an all-new mobile massively multiplayer online action–role-playing game for iOS and Android.

While Blizzard hasn’t announced a release date yet, it shared more about the storyline of Diablo Immortal:
The Worldstone lies shattered, yet great power remains within its corrupted fragments. Power that Diablo’s minions hope to harness to bring about the return of the Lord of Terror.The Archangel Tyrael is presumed dead, and mankind is left to deal with the aftermath of his actions. Fragments of the corrupted Worldstone taint the land, bringing forth ancient evils who are looking to harvest the stone’s power and use it to control humanity.

Blizzard also released a two-minute trailer showing off gameplay of the new title.
