Blizzard to bring Diablo 3 to PlayStation

Blizzard Entertainment last night announced that it is developing Diablo III, the latest entry in its action–role-playing-game series, for the Sony PlayStation 3. The company also confirmed plans to adapt the game for Sony’s newly announced PlayStation 4, its next-generation computer entertainment system.

The PS3/PS4 version of Diablo III will be based on the core experience of the PC version, including all of the latest upgrades, such as the Paragon leveling system, customizable Monster Power, Brawling, and Legendary items. In addition, Blizzard is designing an all-new user interface, including an intuitive control scheme and a new dynamic camera perspective. Players will be able to battle their way through the story in single-player mode and also via seamless four-player online and local co-op modes.

Blizzard also announced that the PS3 version of Diablo III will be shown live at PAX East, taking place at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from March 22–24.

Diablo III was released on PC and Mac in 2012.
