![]() While the closed beta is packed to the BRIM with exciting stuff, the real highlight to me is the Necromancer. Sure, I keep asking the question as to why not simply release on PC ( which seems to be happening whether Blizzard likes it or not) but given how bloody solid the title words on a phone, I will continue to crush my Pixel 5’s battery life with nightmarish monster mashing. ![]() My experience with the closed alpha revealed that the handheld hell game was incredible competent – with a very tight and enjoyable gameplay loop that worked beautifully in portable form. It may be that Blizzard felt it inappropriate to go all out on the jokes this year, especially after recently making 800 people redundant.The closed beta for Diablo Immortal is in full swing, and I have to admit my trips to bathroom have taken a fairly demonic turn. While the patch notes are amusing, they’re a far cry from Crabby The Dungeon Helper, who invaded the official forums over the course of several years, offering “helpful advice” like Microsoft Office's Clippy. Meanwhile, in World of Warcraft, a set of fictitious patch notes were released including details of Findr, a new dungeon matching app based on Tinder. This joke has been around since 2017 so while some find it amusing, it certainly isn’t new. Overwatch fans saw the return of the Reinhardt prank, which puts Reinhardt players' messages in "all caps" and follows them with random quotes from the character. The only jokes in evidence were in Overwatch and World of Warcraft. Instead of elaborate jokes, spanning several franchises, they have kept things very low key. In the past Blizzard has pulled off some spectacular April Fools Day pranks, but this year they have been very quiet.
