Details Unveiled for New Class in Diablo Immortal

Okay, so picture this: Diablo Immortal is about to get a whole new class, the Druid. Yep, they’re bringing this nature-loving, shape-shifting warrior into the game by early July 2025, according to Blizzard and NetEase. It’s wild because the Druid’s been a part of the Diablo universe since Diablo 2. You know, that game where you could turn into a werewolf and bear? Fun times, right? Anyway, they kind of forgot about the Druid until Diablo 4 popped up in 2023.

So, back to the present. Or future, rather. They dropped this crazy cinematic trailer on June 25, and I’m not gonna lie, it made the Druid look pretty epic. It’s like they’ve taken this vibe from the Sharval Wilds, a place I imagine smells like moss and damp earth. Ryan Quinn, the big narrative brain behind this, described it as super Gothic with a Gaelic twist. I mean, who doesn’t love a good moody forest?

Right, so let’s talk about what the Druid can actually do now. The basics? A staff combo that’s… well, it’s a staff combo. But then you get this ultimate move, Fang and Claw, which sounds like something out of a fairy tale gone wrong. You turn into a werewolf by level 3 — seriously, level 3, as if they want you to go feral right off the bat. And don’t even get me started on the werebear form at level 38 — like, what’s more tanky and terrifying than a massive bear? Probably nothing.

Oh, and you can summon wolves and grizzlies to tear it up with you. But here’s the kicker, there’s a move called Earthquake. I think you’d better not be letting your coffee cups hang around when you use it, unless you’re a fan of jittery chaos. Seems like this Druid is all about chaos anyway, from wild elemental spells to smacking the ground with enough force to make some serious noise. Maybe the neighbors will complain about all the AoE knock-ups — those poor pixels.

Blizzard’s all about form-swapping here, pushing you to experiment. It’s not just about turning into one thing and sticking with it. Supposedly, you can stick with just one form if you want, but I guess you won’t be riding the wave of chaos they clearly want. Weirdly wholesome, though, is the Oak Sage ability making a comeback — a little nod to old-school fans? Maybe.

And there’s this event where you can explore the ‘Primal Plane’ or something. It lasts three weeks and, yeah, everybody’s a druid. The ‘Grovekeeper’s Call’ quest promises demon fighting and self-discovery, because why not throw a little coming-of-age arc into the mix?

In terms of what’s next for Diablo Immortal’s roadmap, something called "Epoch of Madness" is on the horizon too. The name alone makes me think we’re in for an interesting ride. Wonder what that update called "The First and Last King" will be like. Maybe they’ll finally resolve that kerfuffle from the December 2024 boss battle. But who knows with these games, right? Always keeping us guessing and fumbling along through dungeons.

Okay, I should stop rambling before I get carried away. But honestly, if you’re into chaotic fantasy worlds, this might be your thing. Just don’t forget to take breaks and hydrate, yeah?
