In less than two weeks, the armies of hell will march their way to consoles with the release of the Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition, the ultimate iteration of Blizzard’s dungeon crawler series. Just last month, Blizzard revealed they were unsure as to whether or not Diablo III on consoles would see any support post-release. They seem to have made up their minds now, as it’s been confirmed that everything the PC version gets will come to consoles, albeit with a slight delay.
This is great news. I own the game for PC and Xbox 360 already and I plan on grabbing the Ultimate Evil Edition when it comes to Xbox One later this month, because I’m a massive Diablo nerd who spends way too much time scouring dungeons for their sweet, sweet loot.
I was a bit confused when Blizzard said they weren’t sure if they’d support the console versions, not just because it makes no sense to not support every platform, but also because that was an extraordinarily odd thing to say a month before the release of the game you’re saying you might not support. Now that that’s been cleared up, I can look forward to returning to the game for the third time, because there are demons that need slaying and my level 60-something Monk is the right woman for the job.
Diablo III Ultimate Evil Edition arrives on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on August 19.
