The Blood Knight, Diablo Immortal’s new and exclusive class, is free to play starting today. All Blood Knights are trained in an ancient spear fighting style mastered by their chapter Gaia Kule. Blood Knights are connected to other Blood Knights through ethereal bonds. They must persevere and fight the darkness to gain power and the demonic forces that threaten the sanctuary.
“We are delighted to welcome Blood Knight to Sanctuary.” Executive producer Peiwen Yao explained. “This vampiric class has mastered the dynamic hybrid melee talent. So players can choose between physical attacks, blood magic, or a middle ground. We’re all excited to see what players will achieve with this new skill.“
“Diablo Immortal’s first year showed what’s possible when this genre-defining series takes mobile to the next level” explained Diablo General Manager Rod Ferguson. “Now we go even further with the debut of the Ethereal Bloodknight, the first new class for Diablo in nearly a decade, introducing a unique champion of darkness to the land of Sanctuary. We invite everyone to join us in celebrating a year of slain monsters across Diablo Immortal.“
Blood Knight explains in detail:

- Key Skills: Bloodknights are a hybrid melee class that drain the life of their enemies, ward them off with enchanted shadows, and crush any resistance with a knightly polearm.
- Edge of Shadow: A basic attack that either performs a blade swing or throws a dagger.
- Swarm of Bats: Summons a cloud of bats that deal damage and move on command.
