Blizzard unveils Diablo Immortal’s Tempest class coming in May

Blizzard has lifted the curtain on the next class coming to Diablo Immortal with the reveal of Tempest, a powerful new warrior who is a “master of wind and water.” Not much is known about Tempest yet, other than what’s shown in a short trailer. The teaser is essentially just a cinematic for the introduction of the new class. However, there are a few short clips that show the actual gameplay of the class used. For now, though, this is all players will get until Blizzard holds its full reveal.

At this time, Blizzard is not offering any details about Tempest other than what you can see in the movie. That said, it won’t be long before more information is available, as Blizzard confirms that Tempest will launch later this month. Once it goes live, players will be able to “become the storm” and dispatch demons with wave and wind base attacks.

The cinematic reveal of the Tempest class confirms it’s coming to Diablo Immortal on May 23

While there may not be many details right now, there is a confirmed release date. Blizzard says the new class will launch on May 23 for Android and iOS players, as well as those playing on PC. Which means there will definitely be a full breakdown of the class before then. However, it is unclear exactly when that will be. One thing is clear, though: it will be sometime before May 23. And since May 23 is a Thursday, fans can expect an official announcement sometime earlier that same week or the week before.

Tempest is a mix of melee and mid-range attacks

Blizzard hasn’t provided any details on how the abilities work. But from the teaser images, it’s clear that Tempest is mainly a melee class with some mid-range attacks. As such, it should be beneficial for anyone playing any of the other melee classes. Tempest is also the second class introduced in the Diablo franchise that has never been seen in any other Diablo game. The first is the Blood Knight which was introduced last year.

Arrived early Diablo Immortal‘s launch window Diablo Immortal developers said there were plans to bring more classes to the game than the original six. Including Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Wizard, Barbarian and Necromancer. With the upcoming arrival of Tempest, there are now eight available classes. It is currently unclear whether Blizzard plans to launch additional classes in addition to these eight.
