Diablo 3 power out this October

Diablo 3's 'Book of Tyrael' out this October
After telling the tale of the last of the Horadrim in the Book of Cain, Blizzard is launching another companion book for Diablo 3, the Book of Tyrael. Just as Book of Cain chronicled the thoughts of Diablo’s talkative elder, the Book of Tyrael is “an in-depth look into the mind of the Archangel Tyrael,” a prominent character in the series.

The book promises “never-before-known secrets” about the Diablo universe and will feature original artwork. It will also include writings written from the perspectives of both Deckard and Leah Cain and “a fully removable family tree.”

The Book of Tyrael will be released on October 1 for $40. The only catch is you’ll have to stop playing Diablo 3 to read it.

Diablo 3 power worldwide Sept. 3 [update]

Diablo 3 coming to 360 as well, dated September 3

Blizzard revealed it’s bringing Diablo 3 to the Xbox 360 as well as the PS3 and PS4. The worldwide release date for both current-gen consoles is September 3.

The console edition of the action-RPG was originally announced for the PS3 and PS4 back in February. However, a month later it emerged Diablo 3 on consoles wasn’t necessarily Sony-exclusive, and sure enough Blizzard announced the Xbox 360 version this morning.

Blizzard says both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions include all the “major content and design updates” made to the original PC game, which was released last summer. Also, pre-orders on both platforms receive the ‘Infernal Helm’ in-game item.

Update: When asked if Diablo 3 is coming to the Xbox One, a Blizzard spokesperson told Joystiq, “We’re excited for console players to get their hands on Diablo 3, but we don’t have any further platform announcements to share at this time.”
