A cinematic trailer and an extended gameplay demonstration with commentary from the
development team introduced the game to the thousands of players in attendance.
"We've wanted to expand on the epic story and gameplay elements of the Diablo universe for
some time now," stated Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We
know that players have also been long awaiting a return to the series, so we're very excited to
be sharing this announcement with Blizzard gamers here in Paris and around the world
today."
Diablo III will pick up the story twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Mephisto, Diablo, and
Baal have been defeated, but the Worldstone, which once shielded the inhabitants of the
world of Sanctuary from the forces of both the High Heavens and the Burning Hells, has been
destroyed, and evil once again stirs in Tristram. Playing as a hero from one of five distinct
character classes, players will acquire powerful items, spells, and abilities as they explore
new and familiar areas of Sanctuary and battle hordes of demons to safeguard the world
from the horrors that have arisen. The first two characters classes -- the barbarian and the
witch doctor -- were shown as part of the announcement at the event today in Paris.
Diablo III will feature a custom 3D-graphics engine to render lush indoor and outdoor areas
of Sanctuary with a high level of detail and vivid special effects. The game's
physics-enhanced environments will be interactive and destructible, offering traps and
obstacles that create added danger for players and monsters alike. These elements, along
with a new quest system and random scripted events, will be integrated into the game's
random-level generator, giving Diablo III the ultimate combination of dynamic gameplay and
replayability. Cooperative and competitive play will be available online through an upgraded
version of Blizzard Entertainment's renowned online gaming service, Battle.net®.
