Will there be more classes for Diablo Immortal?
Blizzard has currently confirmed six classes for the release of the game. However, it is very likely that, as is typical for the series, another class will be submitted later around the publication.
Which one could that be? As the colleagues from Mein-MMO report, data miners have found another class in the game’s code: the blood knight. He should go into close combat with a spear or lance, suck the blood of opponents and also be able to get aggressive bats to his side. However, until the official confirmation, you should still enjoy the information with caution, as it could also be a cancelled class.
