[E3 2013] ‘Diablo III’ Is Coming To All The Consoles (Updated)
When Blizzard teased Diablo III’s inevitable arrival on consoles, I didn’t think they meant all the consoles. If you haven’t experienced the satisfaction of beating Diablo’s red scaly ass so you can steal his sweet, sweet loot, then you’ll soon have more opportunities to do just that. Diablo III will be coming to the PS3, PS4 and Xbox 360 this fall. See the multiplayer in action after the break, and if you haven’t read it already, you should definitely read our review.
Update: As DamienJohn pointed out, Diablo III hasn’t been confirmed for the Xbox One.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
