Sequel to the Legendary Dark Fantasy RPG
Diablo III is the next installment in the extremely popular action RPG (hack and slash) series from Blizzard. The game retains a feel similar to that of previous Diablo parts, including the isometric view. Diablo 3 uses a custom 3D engine with Havok physics, allowing spectacular destruction of game environments. Similarly to Diablo II, there are both static and randomly generated levels and enemy encounters.
The game takes place twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Heroes that survived the onslaught of the armies of the Burning Hells have gone mad from their ordeals, and now a new generation of warriors have to face the forces of evil threatening the world of Sanctuary!
The expected release date of Diablo 3 is in the first half of 2012.

Game Features
Diablo 3 is a very promising game, retaining everything that worked in Diablo & Diablo 2 and improving the gameplay experience with an epic storyline, amazing graphics, new quests system, more detailed character customization, and, of course, great multiplayer.
- Five distinct classes: Diablo 3 will feature 4 brand new characters (the Wizard, the Demon Hunter, the Monk and the Witch Doctor) as well as one class from the previous game: the headstrong and proud Barbarian. Unlike in previous Diablo games, the players will actually be able to choose the sex of their character. Class choice will affect game story, quests and cinematics.
- New graphics engine: experience the dark and dangerous Diablo 3 world in 3D, with spectacular visual effects and Havok physics, allowing the player to interact with or destroy various elements of the environment.
- Different every time: Diablo 3 features a random level and encounter generator in addition to static, scripted events. The gameplay is dynamic, and the game will be different with every replay! The game has numerous outdoors and indoors areas, including new, previously unseen exotic regions of the Sanctuary. DIII also has class-specific quests to make replaying the game more interesting.
- Smarter enemies: the fiendish hellbeasts and other enemies all have unique behavior and attack patterns. Not only that, every enemy creature has 35 different death animations, such as "beheaded", "crushed" or "electrocuted" (that's right - every single one)!
- Improved multiplayer: play with or against other players over Battle.net in exciting multiplayer co-op games. Many new features being developed for Starcraft II multiplayer (such as the competitive ladder) will also be available for Diablo III gamers!
- Powerful auction house: buy and sell epic gear for game gold or real money. You can use the auction house from anywhere in the game, and sell items from your shared stash or individual character inventories. Maybe you'll even be able to make money selling Diablo 3 items? Who knows.

- Did the Collectors Edition sell out on Amazon? I definitely saw it there before but now it says "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available". I guess they ran out of copies to reserve? And the game doesn't even have a release date yet, lol.

- Blizzard is taking their time with the game to get it as good as possible, who can argue with this? Who wants to play a game that isnt finished or has the well-known Blizzard quality to it? I dont understand people whining for them to release it NOW NOW NOW.. I want Diablo 3 just as much as everyone else, but I more than anything want it to be finished before I get my hands on it!

- I can't wait until this game comes out. However, I don't think it's right how companies allow you to pre-order it and no realistic release date has been published and confirmed. On a lighter note... nice lens. This game will be one to remember.
