It costs £88,000 to fully upgrade your character in Diablo Immortal An analysis discovers that upgrading requires Legendary Gems that F2P players can't get. News by Vikki Blake Contributor Published on 5 Jun 2022 82 comments It costs £88,000 ($110,000) to fully upgrade a character in Diablo Immortal.

First announced at BlizzCon in 2018 - after which it kicked off a fan backlash - Diablo Immortal takes place between the events of Diablo 2 and 3, adapting the classic dungeon crawling formula of its predecessors for mobile devices - which, among other things, means a free-to-play monetisation model based around in-app purchases. Consequently, this week's long-awaited launch of Diablo Immortal was scrapped in both Belgium or the Netherlands, due to the countries' laws around loot boxes. "Diablo Immortal will not be available in Belgium or the Netherlands, and will not appear on Battle.net or the Belgian and Netherlands App or Google Play Stores," an Activision Blizzard spokesperson told Eurogamer earlier this week. "This is related to the current operating environment for games in those countries. Accordingly, pre-registrations for the game are not accessible in those markets."
