It’s time once again, to unsheathe your demonslaying sword... Blizzard opened their World Wide Invitational today with the announcement of one of the most anticipated sequels in the history of action-RPGs - Diablo III
While no platforms were mentioned, the video played at the event hinted that the game might be exclusive to Mac and PC users. We’ll keep you updated as and when we hear anything more.
It’s been just a few hours since the official announcement of Diablo III and the website for the game has already gone live with two videos – one cinematic and one gameplay, can find the website here.
Here’s a bit of the game’s story:
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.
From the gameplay video, it seems a lot like what they did with StarCraft 2 – they stayed close to the game’s roots where everything from the interface to the gameplay is concerned. New inclusions include a destructible environment, and this is the first time that’s ever been used in an RPG.
