Diablo III Reaper of Souls is COMING TO CONSOLES!

Diablo III Reaper of Souls is COMING TO CONSOLES!


YESSS!! After much speculation (and worrying on my part), Blizzard has finally unveiled that the much awaited expansion pack to Diablo III is coming to the consoles on August 19th 2014!! :D You can read about it more via this link: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/blog/14096399/reaper-of-souls%E2%84%A2-coming-to-console-august-19-5-12-2014


Back then, Ive only heard of rumors that the expansion pack will be launching on next-gen consoles (PS4 and Xbox one respectively), but there was no news about the PS3 or Xbox 360 versions. I was worried that Blizzard might skip the previous console gen in favor of the next-gen consoles, which would leave me stuck on the base Diablo III game, with no way for me to experience the expansion pack because:
  • I dont plan on buying a PS4 anytime soon, due in part to its high price tag and a very small library of games to get me interested.
  • I dont plan on buying the PC version anytime soon, as Ive already invested alot of time on the console version, and I dont think I can start a new character again.
  • Add the fact that the PC version requires internet to play is another turn off for me.
All is good, however there is a catch to this. Labeled as "Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition", the game will feature both the original Diablo III + Reaper of Souls expansion set, as one game. The caveat to that is those who bought the original Diablo III game, will need to buy the new game to play, thus rendering their old copies of Diablo III virtually useless. Expect tons of for sale threads for Diablo III copies coming as soon as the game is available in the Philippines.

To help sweeten the deal (and lessen the hurt of those who bought the original Diablo III game), those who preorder the game, will receive a bonus item; the Infernal Pauldrons!!


These shoulder plates are wearable at level 1 for all classes, and is primed and ready for transmogrification.

Overall, Im pretty much happy and excited with the announcement and I cant wait to jump back in with my Barbarian beauty. :D
