It is quite possible that Blizzard wanted to spite those people who have deemed Diablo III too colorful, contrasting it from the rest of the franchise. By hiding the magical fairy land of Whimsyshire within the depths of the Diablo III, players are given a land that no one thought they’d find within the confines of a Diablo game.
Did you know Diablo 3 is out today? You did, oh good. I bet you bought a copy then and have been furiously yelling at the Error 37 screen. Oh, you managed to get in and play? Good for you. But what if you didn't get a copy, or your friend didn't get a copy. What if you could get a copy of the game for FREE. Well then, stay a while a listen.
There are those that said this day would never come. But come it has, the day your mouse cries out in terror as you click it thousands of times per minute. It's been 12 years since Diablo 2 was released, but Diablo 3 is finally here - and he's ready, willing and waiting.
Watching trailers and gameplay footage are great ways to scope out a game, but wouldn’t you like to test Diablo III out yourself before you invest? Blizzard has you covered. Players are now able to try out the long-awaited game without having to purchase it first.
Blizzard have released a new animated short which sets up part of the story for Diablo 3, which, in case you didn't know - comes out NEXT WEEK. Long before the creation of Sanctuary, the Eternal Conflict between angels and demons raged on for untold millennia, this 7 minute video tells that story. The short was created in part by Peter Chung, of Aeon Flux fame.
Just two weeks away before Diablo III’s release day, scheduled for May 15th, Blizzard has continued to reveal character class information on their website. Next in the sequence comes the Wizard character class, having yet another epic trailer aimed to get you even more pumped to play
When I was growing up, Blizzard games always had two things going for them. On one hand they were always filled with richly detailed characters and were a fun, polished product. On the other hand they were remembered for their gorgeous cinematics, fully rendered and detailed that were head and shoulders above anything else out there. I can remember my excitement of getting an entire DVD with the Diablo 2 Collector's Edition that contain all the cinematics on it.
Did everyone get to play the Diablo 3 public beta last weekend? Good times, if you could get into a game. Those servers were packed! Oh well, that's the nature of a stress test. I only had time to play with one class, so I suited up a Barbarian. After seeing these two guys in action, I feel like I missed out. The Monk and the Witch Doctor both have some very cool skill sets.
Good morning! You're about to call in sick. It's really happening. An open beta for Blizzard's highly anticipated Diablo 3 will kick off at noon. That's right, a public beta open to anyone with a valid Battle.net account will begin today, April 20th, at 12:01 p.m. PST. The beta will run through Monday, April 23rd, 10:00 a.m. PST. You should be able to begin downloading the client now. Blizzard needs your help assaulting their servers in this three day stress test. Here's a link to the Diablo 3 website with instructions on how to enter the beta and other FAQs.
The Diablo 3 beta, which has been running for over 6 months now, is drawing to a close. On May 1st the Beta forums and servers will go offline and characters will be reset as Blizzard prepares for the game's May 15th release date. The lengthy beta for the game has yielded some interesting changes including class and crafting tweaks and of course plenty of technical issues being resolved. Could we see one of the smoothest PC launches in history?
With only a few weeks away until its release, Blizzard will be initiating another huge release of Diablo III beta keys, giving the lucky beta-testers a chance to play the game before its upcoming May release.
Today we have a nice little video featuring one of Diablo 3's range-based classes, the Demon Hunter. (Well, technically, it's IGN's video.) The video showcases a number of skills and abilities for the adventurer. Her special powers are fueled by Hatred and Discipline, so it sounds like she'd be a pretty neat date. Her "entangling shots" look like a valuable asset for co-op play.
After much speculation, after a lengthy beta, after almost 12 years...hell will be unleashed again. Diablo 3 is coming to retailers and Battle.net on May 15th, Blizzard have announced today. The action RPG is part of a series that is one of the most popular and longest played co-op series of all time.
Diablo III's PVP (Player Vs. Player) system, known as "Arenas" is lagging a little further behind than Blizzard had foreseen. Don't worry, though - we're happy to inform you that it won't be holding up the game's release. The reason? Blizzard didn't rule that the delay of the feature was worth the postponement of the entire game.
While it isn't a release date, we do have a release window for Diablo 3. The game is being targeted at a 2nd quarter 2012 launch - which puts it firmly in the April, May June window. This news comes from Activision's quarterly financial report, specifically a slide deck made available for investors.
