Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3's Next-Gen Console Port Will Arrive in 2014

As most of us know, Diablo III will be arriving from Blizzard Entertainment on the next-gen consoles (as was revealed in a press release earlier this year). However, a recent interview with the developers revealed that the game won’t be available as a launch title.

Diablo 3 Anniversary Buff

Good news for defenders of Sanctuary. To help celebrate the one year anniversary of Diablo 3, Blizzard is offering an in-game buff to players. If you log on to play Diablo 3 between May 15 and May 21, you will receive a 25 percent buff to both magic find and experience gain stats. The developer states; "The buff is only available while logged in to the game, but it will apply to all characters as well as stack with other similar bonuses -- the EXP bonus will stack multiplicatively and the Magic Find bonus will stack above the 300% cap."

Latest Diablo 3 Patch Adds Co-Op Incentives

The latest Diablo 3 patch for PC has been released, and with it comes a great boon to cooperative players. The latest patch brings the game up to version 1.0.8, and adds a host of changes to both the single player and cooperative aspects of the game. The biggest news is that playing with a group of people is now the most effective way to earn better rewards. Players that adventure together will earn an extra 10% to their Magic Find, Gold Find, and Experience gains for each additional player in the game, up to a max of 30%.

Diablo 3 Pre-Order Bonus for PS3

When word came around that Blizzard would be releasing Diablo 3 for the PS3 and PS4, most of us were stunned. It had been a long time since Blizzard has announced anything regarding the console platforms. But they did just that at the Playstation 4 reveal earlier this year. From a game that has garnered polarizing coverage, yet soared in terms of sales, it looks like the console version of Diablo 3 may turn out to be a wonderful cooperative experience. Tally went hands on with Diablo 3 on the PS3 at PAX East, and was rather impressed.

The lonely road to Tristram

No Cross-Connectivity Between Playstation and PC Diablo 3

To everyone's surprise during the big PS4 reveal last week, Blizzard graced the audience with their presence. Many of us sat and gazed in wonder, and if they were anything like me, were praying for some sort of reboot of Blackthorne. What we did get was what pretty much anyone could have expected - a port of Diablo 3 to the PS3 and the PS4. In a previous article, we covered the fact that the console versions of Diablo 3 will be playable with up to four players both offline and online.

Alternate Advancement *and* Class Buffs? Hooray!

Diablo 3 1.0.4 Patch Introduces Paragon System, Out Now

For the past week or so, Blizzard's been teasing the just-released 1.0.4 patch for Diablo 3, detailing many of the systems and class updates, but surprised us a bit when they dropped details on their take on alternate advancement: the Paragon System (Sorry, there's no Renegade counterpart). Once your character hits level 60, you'll begin accumulating experience towards your Paragon level, which bestows core stat increases and permanent boosts to your Magic Find and Gold Find ratings.
