On June 2, the demons of the Underworld invaded Sanctuary on the orders of Skarn, Lord of Curses. In search of fragments of the broken stone of the universe, Skarn’s henchmen will do anything to achieve their sinister goal. And if successful, they will unleash unimaginable horrors on Sanctuary. But all is not yet lost. Sanctuary has many defenders – brave men who are ready to stop Skarn, no matter the cost. To be among them is your destiny, heroes.
It doesn’t matter what device you started your journey on – on a smartphone with iOS or Android, or on a PC with Windows, whether you entered the battle already during the open beta testing or are still waiting for the right moment. We want to give you the most powerful weapon to fight the demonic invaders that encroached on Sanctuary – knowledge. Get your analog sticks ready: we’ll walk you through how to use controllers to play Diablo Immortal.
Looking for new ways to play Immortal
We knew early on in the development of Diablo Immortal that we wanted to create a game where we could kill demons in many different ways. When Diablo III became the first game in the series to be released on consoles, players loved the ability to kill demons, collect loot, and play with friends using a controller. We understand that for many players, the controller is the most convenient input device, especially when they are fighting for Sanctuary all night long. Therefore, we knew from the very beginning that we wanted to provide the ability to use it in Diablo Immortal, because our main goal is to make sure that the gameplay is not only dynamic and exciting, but also convenient. In addition, by giving players the ability to slay demons with a controller, we can add other convenience features to the game to create a Diablo game that everyone can play.
How to kill demons with analog sticks and triggers
We want you, the defenders of Sanctuary, to have different ways to deal with the armies of Hell. And all these methods should be convenient. We want to emphasize that those who choose a controller to play Immortal will have the same experience in the mobile version and the PC version – this will increase the convenience of cross-platform play features and overall progression. Immortal’s additional features will also help to create all conditions for players who play only with a controller, and for those who alternate between using controllers and other input devices.
You may be playing Immortal on both mobile and PC. Or you might even want to try smashing the armies of Skarn by using touch, mouse, and keyboard in turn, depending on which input method works best for your current device. Immortal will automatically recognize the currently used input methods from among those available. This means that as soon as you connect a controller to a mobile device or PC, Immortal will detect this and automatically configure the game for that input device. You won’t have to experiment with the settings for a long time or stop the game – all changes will be automatic, so you can immediately return to the battle.
In Immortal, you will find many extremely important fights, and some of them require quick reflexes, without which you will not be able to beat the enemy. Most of the controls in Immortal can be remapped, allowing you to fully customize the gameplay to your liking.
NOTE: The Windows PC version of Diablo Immortal is now available in open beta. During the PC Open Beta, we will be gathering feedback and making changes to the game to improve the quality of the controller experience.
What controllers are supported in Diablo Immortal?
In order to enable as many players as possible to start their adventures in Diablo Immortal armed with a controller, we’ve made it compatible with a wide range of devices across iOS, Android, and Windows PC versions. To see which devices are supported on each platform, check out the full list below.
We understand that even the most seasoned adventurers can get tired after hours of fighting demons on a mobile device. That’s why Diablo Immortal supports controllers – to make it even more convenient for you to play. An excellent choice for iPhone owners is the Backbone One controller from the official partners of Diablo Immortal – it is lightweight, foldable and allows you to comfortably kill demons even in tight spaces. It also comes with a button that allows you to record the most impressive gameplay moments – like when your adventurer is too good not to show anyone in action!
