Blizzard Announces Diablo III

We're at the Worldwide Invitational where Blizzard Entertainment made it official. The teaser running this week was indeed to announce Diablo III as their latest title in development.

As the official Diablo III website mentions, it will be an RPG fully-realized in 3D, returning players to Sanctuary as the gates to the Burning Hells are once again opened.

The introduction to the game announced two character classes: the Barbarian and an all-new class never before seen in the Diablo universe -- the Witch Doctor.

Players will also be able to interact with the world directly -- knocking down walls onto enemies, destroying objects, and generally wreaking havoc not only on the demonic hordes, but also the game world itself.

This will of course all be possible online via Battle.net, Blizzard's multiplayer service which has been in use since Diablo, and has been host to millions of fans playing Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft III, and soon, Starcraft II and Diablo III.

To find out more about Diablo III, head over to the official Diablo III website. We've also added it to our games list, so be sure to keep an eye out as we'll bring you all the latest news on this exciting new RPG from Blizzard Entertainment.

    Would be sweet with a Diablo MMO (ala WoW/AoC)... It would REALLY give WoW and Conan some serious competition! =D

  • Sat, Jun 28 2008 11:24 AM ()

    haha dude WoW is made by the same company... why would they want to give themselves competition? and anyways, AoC is absolutely no competition to WoW

    I didn't think they could continue the storyline... but they found a way, nice work Blizzard!!

    This is actually the only game that will let me forget WoW. I have played already to Diablo I, Diablo II and the expansion Lord of Destrucion. I played in multiplayer mode the expansion LoD from 2001 to 2004 without pause, I was really mad for that game!
    I just cant wait to see Diablo III in the shops next year!!!!
