diablo 3 for ps3 | Prepys' Homepage

The long wait is almost over for controller-wielding folks who’ve been dying to play the latest iteration of demon-filled role playing game from Blizzard, as the firm announced the arrival of Diablo 3 for both PlayStation 3 and XBOX 360 which is slated in the third quarter of this year.

The game is already up for pre-orders and early adopters will be rewarded with a key for an in-game item (Infernal Helm) that gives +EXP boost to your character. The key can be redeemed on September 3 which is also the official launch date of the game.

In addition to the free item, it’s been said that console users will also enjoy the same treatment as those playing it on their Mac or PC as far as the update is concerned. The game currently retails for USD59.99 a pop and we expect it to be roughly the same when its released by local distributors and retailers.

In case you missed it, Blizzard has officially shared its plans of releasing a PS3-version of Diablo 3 last February. Following the announcement, the video game developer has provided a handful of sick game trailers to hype things up.

The announcement was made during Sony’s “See the Future” event where Blizzard also confirmed that the popular RPG title will also be available on Sony’s upcoming gaming console, the PS4. Non-Sony console users need not to fret, however, as the team stated that the game will not be exclusive to Sony gaming consoles.

The PS3 version of the game has a lot in common with its PC counterpart. However, Blizzard has made a few minor tweaks to the game to make it more console-friendly. One of the significant changes made on this release is the ability play the game offline. Offline game modes support screensharing for up to four users and give its players the ability to trade items even without internet connection.

Speaking of items, Blizzard has also decreased the number of item drops on the PS3 version. According to the team, they’re gunning for a more qualitative looting scheme rather than quantitative which lessens the time that a player spends on their inventory.

Blizzard has yet to reveal the release date of Diablo 3 for PlayStation 3, but we have a hunch that it’ll be in the second or third quarter of this year.
