Diablo III is an action role-playing video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment. It is the third installment in the Diablo franchise and was released in the Americas, Europe, South Korea, and Taiwan on May 15, 2012, and Russia on June 7, 2012, for Microsoft Windows and OS X. A console version was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 3, 2013. A PlayStation 4 version is planned to be released in 2014.
In the game, players choose one of six character classes—Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor or Wizard—and are tasked with defeating the Lord of Terror, Diablo.
Diablo III set a new record for fastest-selling PC game by selling over 3.5 million copies in the first 24 hours of its release, and was the best selling PC game of 2012, selling more than 12 million copies during the year.
During its initial launch, players weren't able to log on for hours
because of server issues that were partially due to the volume of
players simultaneously online. Diablo III received generally positive reviews from critics, although its digital rights management that requires an internet connection at all times, in game auction house, and lack of end game content were criticized.
The expansion packDiablo III: Reaper of Souls
was released for the Windows and OS X editions of the game on March 25,
2014. The expansion pack content will be released as part of the Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition
version for the PlayStation 4 that is scheduled for release in 2014.
That edition of the game is also being developed for the Xbox One, but
is not yet scheduled for release.
