Forbes Accidentally Leaks Nintendo Switch Port of ‘Diablo III’

Published

on

Forbes today accidentally leaked the worst-kept secret in confirming that Blizzard is bringing Diablo III to the Nintendo Switch. Seriously, how many times has this been hinted at over the past year?

Forbes accidentally published the article confirming the port’s existence, entitled the “Eternal Collection”, and set to release later this year. The set will include the Reaper of Souls expansion, as well as the Rise of the Necromancer DLC for $59.99 USD. And given that it’s Nintendo, similar to how The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had The Legend of Zelda-themed items, Diablo III will indeed feature content exclusive to the game.

While purely cosmetic, the game will have a Legend of Ganondorf cosmetic armor set, as well as a Tri-Force portrait frame, a Cuccos (aka chicken) pet, and Echoes of the Mask cosmetic wings (which are essentially recycled from the PC Collector’s Edition of Diablo III, but hey). And yes, donning the armor set will make you look like Ganon.

Blizzard is doing their usual move of “say nothing”, but with Blizzcon this November, and with that video hyping up the future of Diablo, we at least know one of the things that’s going to be announced, and perhaps even before Blizzcon.

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.”
