Vampires are like a “living plague” in the world of Diablo, the developers said, and their victims sometimes devolve into Thralls (lesser vampiric beings) after being bitten.

The lore of the Blood Knight is based on Diablo’s version of vampires. The Blood Knight can feel a bit slow at first, the developers said, but can also transform into a powerful monster, known as an Abomination, and perform powerful hand-to-hand blows against hordes of enemies. It’s the first new class for the Diablo series in nearly a decade, after the Crusader’s introduction in Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls.ĭiablo Immortal developers described the Blood Knight as a melee hybrid class that uses polearms for close combat. The Blood Knight will be the seventh playable class in Diablo Immortal, joining the Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Necromancer, and Wizard.

Blizzard will introduce a new class to the world of Diablo on July 13, bringing the Blood Knight to Diablo Immortal, the developer confirmed Thursday during a developer update livestream.
