Finally: Blizzard Confirms ‘Diablo III’ for Xbox One
It took awhile for them to get around to it, but Blizzard has finally announced that the Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition will indeed be making its way to Xbox One. It’s been confirmed on PS4 for some time — where it will run at 1080p at 60fps — but it’s good to hear that Xbox One owners will also be able to enjoy this lovely game.
If you already own it for last-gen, don’t fret, as you will be able to carry over your characters from the PS3/Xbox 360 version to continue your progress on the next-gen Ultimate Evil Edition. Good thing too, because I have very little desire to start over. My Monk is an unapologetic, demon-slaying badass, and it’d break my heart to have to leave her behind.
This edition will bring with it the same features the console versions currently employ, including local co-op for up to four people and online multiplayer. It will cost $59.99, and if you pre-order it now you’ll unlock the Infernal Pauldrons in-game gear.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
