Blizzard’s Diablo Immortal’s newest class, the Blood Knight, is available to play now. The game has introduced seventh class exclusively yesterday. The Blood Knight is the seventh playable class in Diablo Immortal, joining the Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard. To fight the forces threatening and boost Diablo performance in the Sanctuary, the Knights must fight the inner darkness with a specific ritual to retain their power and remain resilient.
Diablo Immortal executive producer Peiwen Yao said, “We’re so excited to be introducing the Blood Knight to Sanctuary. This vampiric class wields dynamic, hybrid melee prowess, allowing players to choose between aggressive physical attacks, harnessing blood magic, or something in between! We’re all looking forward to seeing what players can do with this new skill kit.”
Diablo general manager Rod Fergusson said, “The first year of Diablo Immortal set the standard for what’s possible when we work to bring this genre-defining series to mobile platforms. Now we’ve expanded even further, with the debut of the ethereal Blood Knight—the first new class for Diablo in nearly a decade—introducing a distinct champion of darkness to the land of Sanctuary. We welcome everyone to join us in celebrating a year of slaying demons wherever you are in Diablo Immortal.”
