At long last, Blizzard game fans will be able to get their hands on the latest installment of the Diablo series. The company has announced a launch date for Diablo III: May 15th. The game is coming simultaneously to OS X and Windows.
The game launches simultaneously in the US and other countries, and is also available for pre-order through the Battle.net Web site; users can buy the game, pre-load it and start playing it as soon as it’s released on May 15th.
Diablo III is a dungeon crawling action game that puts you in the role of wizard, witch doctor, demon hunter, barbarian, or monk as you take on hordes of demons and monsters.
Diablo III costs $59.99. A special Collector’s Edition is also available that includes a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD, soundtrack CD, Art of Diablo III book, and 4GB “Soulstone” USB thumb drive that includes Diablo II and Diablo II: Lord of Destruction), along with exclusive in-game content for Diablo III and other games.
Is there any word on if Diablo 1 & 2 on the flash drive will be updated to work in Lion?
It’s Diablo II and the expansion, not Diablo 1. I don’t know if a Mac executable is included, but I’m pretty sure Blizzard has dropped support.
