Diablo Immortal’s Fishing Update Brings Some R&R To The World Of Sanctuary

Diablo Immortal's next update is set to introduce fishing to the demon-infested world of Sanctuary, an addition Blizzard says is a "first step" towards exploring the world of Diablo through a new lens.

Come February 22 in the Americas (or today everywhere else in the world), Diablo Immortal players will be able to set aside their weapons and pick up a fishing rod instead. Anyone interested in fishing in the world of Sanctuary will need to complete an introductory quest first, after which they can travel to one of three, combat-free fishing zones. A Fisher vendor located near each fishing zone will sell bait needed to start angling. The longer a player lets their bobber sit in the water, the higher probability of catching a rare fish, with there being a total of 40 unique species for players to encounter. Caught fish can be sold to the Fisher for various rewards, including gear and fishing rod cosmetics.

Kicking back and relaxing with a bit of fishing isn't the first activity that comes to mind when one thinks of the demon-slaying action the Diablo franchise is known for, but Blizzard says Diablo Immortal's MMORPG-nature gives it a "unique opportunity to explore the world of Sanctuary through a new lens." The goal was to provide a new, combat-free activity for players who want to kick back in-game without having to worry about being stabbed in the back.
