As Diablo Immortal gets closer to a full launch (seriously, the wait can’t be much longer, right?) we’ve decided to take a closer look at some of the game’s features to help you plan ahead. And, where better to start than with a list of Diablo Immortal classes? That’s the biggest choice you’ll make in the upcoming action MMORPG, as it dictates your entire playstyle.
Fortunately for long-term fans of the series, many of the favourites return. Whether it’s the savagely violent Barbarian, mystical Monk, or undead-loving Necromancer, you can play the mobile version of Diablo in much the same manner as Diablo III. It won’t be exactly the same though, as NetEase and Activision have adjusted the experience quite fundamentally to fit on mobile.
But, we’ll get into all of that and more in this guide. If you’re eagerly anticipating the arrival of this ARPG, make sure to keep a close eye on our Diablo Immortal release date guide. It doesn’t give a definitive date yet, but it does round up all of the latest rumours. Now, let’s take a look at the Diablo Immortal classes that have been confirmed so far.

Which classes can we expect to see after launch?
Given that Diablo Immortal sits on the timeline between Diablo II and Diablo III, it’s feasible that we can see classes from either game make an appearance.
From Diablo II, we already have the Barbarian and Necromancer, though, arguably, the Paladin and Sorceress share a lot of similarities between the Crusader and Wizard respectively. That leaves only the Amazon being largely viable to return.
Looking at Lord of Destruction, both of the expansion classes could make it into Immortals. The Assassin and Druid, focusing on stealth and nature magic respectively, are quite unique when compared to the others.
Out of the Diablo III batch, all but the Witch Doctor are available in Immortals from launch, so it wouldn’t hugely surprise us if we see that class arrive shortly after launch.
Lastly, we want to make a point regarding Diablo IV. So far, the Barbarian, Sorceress, and Druid are confirmed, which is interesting, as the latter two didn’t appear in Diablo III. As a result, it wouldn’t hugely surprise us if they arrive in Diablo Immortals too.
