Diablo 3 Expansion

Back at the end of July sources from inside Blizzard indicated to IncGamers the distinct possibility of such an announcement. ^[2] A splash screen intentionally published by Blizzard on 15th August 2013 on the official Diablo 3 website was the first mention of the name Reaper of Souls^[3].

Prior to the start of Gamescom 2013 the German ratings board (USK), posted a notice that a trailer for Diablo 3 expansion had received a rating of 12.
