Diablo III: Reaper of Souls; New Hero Type, The Necromancer, 20th Anniversary Content and More

It’s been 20 years since the original heroes of Sanctuary—the Warrior, Rogue, and Sorcerer—first descended into the labyrinth beneath Tristram’s Cathedral. At BlizzCon 2016, the legacy of Diablo lives on! In the coming year, we’ll be celebrating the series’ legacy by releasing a thrilling assortment of updates to the acclaimed action role-playing game.

Diablo III will pay homage to its roots with a special 20th Anniversary Dungeon that will transport players to the dark and gritty labyrinth from the original Diablo. Diablo III also welcomes its newest playable hero—the Necromancer!

20th Anniversary Dungeon: The original Diablo labyrinth is back in Diablo III form

o             Nostalgia Can Be Deadly: Recreated the events, monsters, and levels from the original Diablo.

o             Fresh(ened up) Meat: Original Diablo, The Butcher, Skeleton King, and Lazarus return as epic boss fights.

o             Presented in Glorious RetroVision: Special ‘90s-inspired audio and visual filters for that “classic” look.

The Necromancer: Wield the power of the dead with Diablo III’s newest playable hero class

o             Master of the Dark Arts: Her magic draws from the power of blood and bone.

o             The Old Skills and the New: Command an Army of the Dead, control a mighty Blood Golem . . . and make all the corpses EXPLODE!

Seasons Coming to Console: Console and PC Seasons will align in Season 10
