Chase
For fans of the hugely successful Diablo series from Blizzard Entertainment, BlizzCon offers the chance to learn more about next instalment coming soon to Macintosh and PC: Diablo III. Although the incredible gameplay trailers have certainly whetted their fair share of appetites, it’s all in the details now: Will the game be multiplayer and in what way? What classes will there be? Etc.
New Class: Demon Hunter
Blizzard have announced the final class to feature in the epic Diablo III: the demon hunter. This class will fit in alongside the Barbarian, Monk, Witch Doctor and Wizard and will offer great proficiency with gadgets, explosives and traps in addition to the more traditional ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows, in combination with the old dagger and short sword.
Described as part ranger, part bounty hunter, the demon hunter will have a visually distinct look designed to be sexy yet dark. Obviously, the attire will be in keeping with the general medieval feeling but the demon hunter will wear scarves, leggings and armguards that set it apart from other classes.
Battle.net Integration
Players will be happy to hear that Diablo III will feature both single-player and multi-player modes. Although the game will obviously not be an MMORPG for Mac, linux or windows it will offer cooperative multiplayer gaming via the Battle.net network. This means that players will be able to party with their friends over the internet to work through the game universe together.
There is still one piece of information we were hoping for which unfortunately didn’t arrive: a release date. Hopefully Blizzard will get their skates on and finish this one soon, but until then at least we still have the awesome demo footage to drool over.
