Diablo Immortal celebrates another milestone in player count, each player receiving a legendary crest to commemorate the RPG game’s 20 million installs
Diablo Immortal reached another milestone in player count, with Blizzard announcing that RPG has exceeded 20 million installs. Players can log in to the game and collect a special package of goodies as a thank you. Some fans have been chuckling at the small contents.
The Diablo Immortal Twitter page announced that there were “20 million demon-slayers and counting.” It also stated that they would provide in-game rewards to celebrate the milestone, including a legendary crest and gold. This has provoked some humorous responses from the community who laughed at the joke.
“Whoa! One legendary crest! Thanks Blizzard,” reads one response. Some Diablo Immortal members have been discussing Blizzard’s reluctance in giving out legendary crests. This item is used to tackle elder rifts and allows players to obtain legendary gems.
Some players were disappointed that the Hungering Moon event did not award a single legendary emblem for their troubles. Others noted that the battle pass has only three of these – one less than the previous season.
This is compounded by the fact legendary crests given out, including one from the player milestone celebration package, are regular ones that drop bound gems and not the eternal legendary crest variant that awards gems that can go on the game’s marketplace. However, Blizzard’s July 20, Diablo Immortal Update finally offers players the opportunity to purchase eternal legendary crests for free.
California filed a lawsuit against Activision Blizzard in July 2021 alleging harassment and discrimination at work. Bobby Kotick, the CEO of Activision Blizzard, was embroiled in the story and the US government opened an investigation. The story continues to unfold and is of great importance to the gaming industry. This explainer article keeps you informed about all developments.
The launch of the game in multiple Asia Pacific regions on July 7th likely helped to increase the game’s player count. According to a report by Bloomberg, the game will also launch in China on July 25. This is after a delay of over a month due to a controversial social media post. This should help increase those install numbers even more.
The celebration package includes 1 legendary emblem, 30,000 gold and 150 enchanted powder. There are also 200 scrap materials. However, some members of the fantasy gaming community are not thinking about their legendary emblems. They just want to pet a dog, and that seems like an incredibly reasonable request.
