Blizzard Finally Reveals ‘Diablo III: Eternal Collection’ For Nintendo Switch

Published

on

Well, there’s no denying it now for Blizzard, as they’ve officially confirmed that Diablo III is indeed heading to the Nintendo Switch (seeing as Forbes accidentally let the news slip). Aiming for a Fall 2018 release priced at $59.99, Diablo III: Eternal Collection will feature the original game, alongside the Reaper of Souls expansion and “Rise of the Necromancer” DLC pack, the fully-unlocked Adventure Mode, Challenge Rifts, and the Kanai’s Cube item.

Up to four players can also team up to engage in multiplayer, whether they’re sharing a screen on a single Nintendo Switch, linking their consoles together wirelessly, or teaming up through the Nintendo Switch Online service. Using the Nintendo Switch Online servers, players can also upload save files to the cloud, allowing for progress to be backed up and also transferred onto other devices. That also includes achievements and campaign progress. The only thing that won’t be uploaded is leaderboards.

And yes, unlike the hiccup that plagued Diablo III when it first launched, you can play offline, still have progress count, and can load your profiles back and forth on other Switches. Unfortunately, despite Blizzard implementing a feature that lets players transfer characters from PS3 and Xbox 360 to PS4 and Xbox One, the Switch will not have this feature. In addition, cross-platform play won’t be available. The game will run at 60 fps, and in handheld mode, the game will display at 720p, and then change to 960p when docked.

Now where’s that Diablo II remaster announcement?

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.”
