Skarn’s concept art has similar humanoid elements to Baal. But there’s a new enemy cited on the Immortal website concerning the plot: Skarn, Herald of Terror, and lieutenant of Diablo. Note, this is not exactly new as we see the exact same clip at the end of the original 2018 gameplay trailer. While skeletons are not explicitly taboo, the inclusion of skin where we expect a skeleton may make for a smoother game release in the region.Įxcitement is abounding over the inclusion of a Baal-style model towards the end of the trailer. This variation is likely to account for China’s Ministry of Culture restrictions and avoid game censorship issues.

Another noteworthy change shows up with the Necromancer, who is accompanied by skeletons that are closer to fully skin-covered creatures in the ChinaJoy video.

Unfortunately, the Necromancer has that vaguely uncanny valley appearance going on - this may be personal aesthetics, but the skin is just eerily smooth. They’re honestly beautiful the Crusader and Demon Hunter both have much sharper facial detail, and the Monk is way more defined in appearance when compared to the 2018 video. The class character models are more detailed from the original gameplay trailer. Does that mean it’s not worth watching the new video? Nah. Still, the video is eerily similar to the original gameplay trailer originally released during BlizzCon 2018. Yes, we get some sharp new character renders with extended class trailers. Blizzard and NetEase games are joined the Chinese Digital Entertainment Expo ChinaJoy this year with a shiny new Diablo Immortal gameplay trailer.
