Diablo Immortal Update Offers New Class Change, Patch Notes Revealed

By Logan Moore

Blizzard Entertainment has today released a new patch for Diablo Immortal across PC and mobile devices. The update is one that primarily gives players the option to change their class upon reaching a certain level in the game. And while this is something that players should find greatly helpful, there are a number of other tweaks in this patch as well. 

To go along with the new class change feature, Diablo Immortal has added a number of other things are part of this patch. Some of the most notable additions include a new endgame feature called Hero's Journey. In tandem with this, a new Helliquary boss has now come to Diablo Immortal to go along with a new limited-time event called the Adventurer's Path. Lastly, some new cosmetics and other items have also now been added to the game. 

If you'd like to check out the finer details of this new Diablo Immortal update for July 20th, you can read the patch notes down below.
