Diablo III Revealed! Now On Blizzard.com

**Luke** · 06-28-2008, 09:31 PM

Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world. The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.

When will Diablo III be released?

It's too early to estimate Diablo III's release date. As with all Blizzard Entertainment games, our goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players.

He obviously had one of the blessed moments from watching the gameplay. If I were a bit more white and/or a little less broke, I would have too. Speaking of, did y'all see the b*tches get MAIMED? The damn thing picked one of 'em up and BEHEADED it, then tossed it like, "This crap should be illegal." or some sh*t. He did it TWICE. Awesome, awesome, awesome... 'til it happens to me.

**dethryche** · 06-29-2008, 05:03 AM

**Nex** · 06-29-2008, 04:06 PM

YES! Do you think it will be pay by month?

**SpoonMan999** · 06-29-2008, 05:47 PM

Battle.net has always been a dedicated free gaming service. No reason to change that platform now.

**dethryche** · 06-30-2008, 12:55 AM

yeah i just figured that lol i just hope they wont have a change of heart on that.

**thirst** · 06-30-2008, 03:41 AM

The female Diablo gamers will finally get their shot at the nude assassin, male version.

I remember seeing from requests around the internet for what would be included in Diablo 3, a lot of gamers wanted male/female versions of each character. You ask, Blizzard delivered.

I'm still hoping for Erik, Baelog, and Olaf to make an appearance as bosses in the game, pixelated in all their Super Nintendo glory.

I'd die if I saw that...seriously I'd die. I wouldn't be able to strike down that level of awesome.

its gonna be the barbarian and witch doctor so far and i highly doubt theyd take out the pally or the sorc

**PoTatoes** · 07-04-2008, 07:28 AM

That gameplay video definitely sold me; I can't wait to get this game. This game looks amazing to the point where I'm going to play this game nonstop no matter what!
