Diablo

Hey, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3, it's been a while since we've talked, hasn't it?

Diablo 3 has always had a starter edition that let you get to level 12 before shelling out any cash, but now it looks like the game may be free to play up to level 70. Based on several changes to Battle.net's Diablo store this afternoon it's pretty clear that something happening...

Benny, aka bennyfits on Twitch, has been quietly working his way through Diablo 3 (and a little Hearthstone on the side) for about a week now.

Inside the Ruins of Sescheron in Act 3 of Diablo 3, players could venture into the Immortal Throne Room, where spirits of long-dead Barbarians stood watch over the body of Chief Elder Kanai. Exploring this small corner of Sanctuary, players were told that the time was not yet right — there was nothing you could interact with and nothing to fight in the throne room.

Patch 2.4.0 brought Set Dungeons to Diablo 3, and today we've been given some developer insights behind the process.

Last week we covered Diablo's plans for Khanduras and Tristram.

We don't always see the thought that goes into Blizzard's decision-making process, but the engineers on the Diablo team have given us a peek behind the curtain at something that's more interesting than you might guess: the numbers.

Yesterday we were speculating over which heroes we'd see next in Heroes of the Storm, and with the release of a new teaser we've got a pretty good idea.

Last week we covered Diablo's origin, his part in the Eternal Conflict, how he helped mastermind the Dark Exile, and finally ended up trapped under what would become Tristram Cathedral.

If you're a stranger to Diablo 3, now is a good time to familiarize yourself.
