Revision as of 12:38, 1 August 2008

This page lists all Diablo III coverage; previews, interviews, 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.

June 2008: World Wide Invitational

Diablo III was announced at Blizzard's World Wide Invitational in Paris, on June 28, 2008. A storm of media coverage ensued, with every gaming media outlet on the Internet reporting the announcement. The biggest sources of info from the WWI were the four hour-long Diablo 3 panels, along with three movies Blizzard released, the D3 FAQ, and over one hundred screenshots and pieces of concept art.
