Familiars
The game’s developers, Blizzard, recently announced that hellish bosses await gamers in the Southern Dreadlands, which is a new zone coming to Diablo Immortal.
In the new zone, you can fight for your life and explore new areas alongside your Familiars.
According to the announcement, Diablo Immortal players can expect Familiars to be introduced to the game during the 2023 holiday season.

Since the announcement was released, Blizzard has released several teaser videos to make gamers even more curious about the upcoming Familiars.
According to the latest video, which was released on the Diablo Immortal YouTube channel, your Familiar will follow your character everywhere as you travel through Sanctuary.
In the video one of the Familiars has the appearance of a moth, however, it is much bigger and has several abilities that you can use to destroy enemies. Another Familiar has the appearance of a dragon and a fairy combined.
The final Familiar revealed in the video seems to be a ghostly stag. Unfortunately, the video did not reveal any of the Familiars’ abilities or how to procure them.
However, it revealed that players will be able to evolve their Familiars to improve their abilities, which will make them stronger.
