Blizzard Entertainment has just announced the 3rd installation of one of my all-time favorite game — Diablo 3. Coming really, really soon to your desktop PC and bringing tons of sleepless nights.
One new character class will be introduced — a Witch Doctor.
New classes include the Witch Doctor in addition to the previous characters Diablo players are all familiar with. One of the characters, the Barbarian, have been redone with new skills unique to Diablo III.
Diablo III is powered by a new graphics engine that can display characters and hordes of monsters in more realistic, full 3D environments.
Much more random environments and NPCs will also be introduced so each gameplay will have a unique feel and outcome to it.
Check out the trailer below:

out in 3 years time? It’s one good reason for me to dump my old rig and save up for a new one XD.
next adsense payment = new rig for diablo III
i was hoping for this Announcement from Paris & it came true!
Thank God it’s about time!
My first dSLR could wait. I’m buying a new rig for this one instead.
Time to buy a new video card
ah, the joy of having enough time to devote to playing.
ciao!
Oras na para mag-addict!!
It also requires a Physics Card …. doh
*drools*
3 years time? from the looks of the gameplay, they should release it a year & a half from now. graphics isn’t that heavy but i have to say… it has improved so much that i was amazed about this witch doctor’s skills including the wall of zombies! man that was “Sweet”!
it’s about time that i have to say goodbye to D2 LOD…
i’d forget every PC games & focus on this one. because i know some grew to love Diablo saga.
Cheers!!!
ayos, by that time my current rig needs to retire.
Actually, give it 2 to 4 years.
Activision Blizzard is a business, they need to do a very good timing for their products. Being “Blizzard”, the risks are high to eat a chunk of their other customers.
I explained it briefly on gameshogun.ws (click my name).. basically:
StarCraft II = Sci-fi genre
World of Warcraft = Fantasy/Medieval genre
Diablo III = Fantasy/Medieval genre
I play WoW and I broke the news to our server. Guess what most Diablo fans said? “Goodbye WoW, hello D3!”
That IS a bad sign for Activzard/Blizzvision.
If I am the board or top brass of the company, I’ll say this:
“Delay it more. Concentrate on WoW. MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION is more important than ONE-TIME PAYMENT, and don’t forget, these LAN games are prime targets for piracy.”
Second point, they still have SC2 to release.
Third, they still have Wrath of the Lich King (and they already started for WoW’s 3rd XPAC by now).
Yep, D3 was started on 2004. It does look like to be ready
But that’s Blizzard, their success has always been with their good timing of releases ^^
Besides, if they want to make money, they will release it far between releases of their other products.
Consider:
Customers Budget
Lifespan of each product releases (pag sawa na 50% then release the next product)
Competitors (we can’t deny the fact that Online Games and LAN Games do compete with each other)
do every one here knows when it will be out in the market??? so that i can prepare for it.. tnx..
can’t wait when it would be released???
addict mode has wake up!!!!!!!
plss release that diablo 3… and i buy that im exited!!!!!
