Revision as of 10:08, 2 September 2009

This page lists all Diablo III coverage; previews, interviews, pictures, videos, designer diaries, forum post, and more. Anything from the D3 team that's substantial enough to warrant a news post on Diii.net gets an entry on this page. Larger interviews and other features are archived in this section one month after they go online, to ward off link rot.

If you are new to Diablo or Diablo III development, you can read up on the topic here.
