Diablo 3 Announced!

About 5 - 10 minutes ago Blizzard announced the long awaiting and rumoured Diablo III.

The CEO of Blizzard Mike Morhaime made the announcement during the WWI 2008 in Paris.

Watching the video of the demo of Diablo III it looks set to be true to the originals, with great 3D graphics and an enchanced GUI as well as new character interaction with NPC’s. Also features a return from the man himself Deckard Cain.

I am definitely looking forward to this game and will need to upgrade that old PC of mine. Have not heard any talk on when they plan to release this game. Lets hope it’s like Starcraft II with a short time until release.
