diablo 3 release

Blizzard has finally set the record straight and announced that the console version of the first expansion for Diablo 3, Reaper of Souls, will be available later this summer.

Titled Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition, Blizzard’s hit smash-and-loot RPG is slated to arrive on both last-gen (PS3/360) and current-gen (PS4/XBone). The updated edition not only comes bundled with the Reaper of Souls expansion from earlier this year but also the opportunity for players to transfer their PS3 characters up to the PS4 version; a similar program will also be in place for 360/XB1.

Pre-order customers for Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition will receive a voucher code for a pair of Infernal Pauldrons in-game that are “Wearable at level 1, these devilishly sharp transmogrifiable shoulderplates provide Health, Life regeneration, and Cooldown Reduction. The key for the Infernal Pauldrons will be available in launch day copies of the Ultimate Evil Edition (cannot be transferred across platforms).”

Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition will be available on PS3/360 as well as PS4/XBone on August 19th. Blizzard has priced the last-gen versions at $39.99, current gen at $59.99.
