Blizzard Debating Post-Launch Support for ‘Diablo III’ on PS4, Xbox One

Published

on

This is odd. With the launch of the Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition about six weeks away, Blizzard has admitted they’re still unsure about whether or not they’ll support the game with patches and new content following its release. This means if you decide to drop $60 on the latest version of the game — which carries the potentially ironic Ultimate monicker — then you may not get any or all of the content that comes to PC.

They’ve confirmed the game will likely see a patch that brings it up-to-date with the most current version on PC, but they’re already working on bringing new content to PC, including leaderboards and other content. It sounds as if console players may not see any of this.

It’s worth noting that, as is, the Ultimate Evil Edition is still very much worth getting if you haven’t played Diablo III. There’s more than enough content there to justify the price tag, but I’m sure that won’t keep some gamers to second guess their pre-orders. Hopefully, Blizzard will confirm either way before the game releases next month.

Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition launches on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on August 19.

Clive Barker

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.”
