We’re drooling at the thought of launching into Diablo Immortal. Theblizzard aga It returns in style with its version for mobile devices and PCs in just a few days. However, not all countries in Europe will receive the work.
And it is that Tweakers, a media outlet from the Netherlands, reported that Diablo Immortal disappeared from both the App Store and Google Play in the country. In addition, Belgium also experienced the same situation after the pre-registration phase appeared in both digital stores. An Activision Blizzard representative stated that this move was in keeping with “the current operating conditions of the games in those countries”.
While suspicions were already heading in one direction, everything became clearer on the subreddit of the title with the message from a Blizzard member:
Unfortunately, players in the Netherlands and Belgium will not be able to install Diablo: Immortal due to gaming restrictions in these countries. In-game loot boxes are against the law in your country, so unless game restrictions change, the game will not be released in the Netherlands and Belgium. It would be illegal to download the game in another country like France.
If you manage to run the game, I can’t guarantee that you won’t get kicked for it. What I can say is that in similar situations in the past where RNG loot boxes were against the law in certain countries, we haven’t banned any players for it, but I can’t
but I can’t guarantee that you won’t be expelled.
If you manage to play the game on PC and mobile, as long as you use the same account on both systems, cross save should work as intended.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, hope you continue to have a good day!
Therefore, the two countries are left out of the equation in Europe. In fact, from the company they warn that downloading Devil Immortal from another territory being a citizen of Belgium and the Netherlands will still be considered illegal.
The truth is that both nations have applied head-on against access and use of loot boxes. The Netherlands started to act in this sense since 2018, with Belgium joining later. In Spain, regulation of this type of content is expected in the future by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs.
