Sleepless nights are nigh as Blizzard officially announces Diablo III. The company ended endless speculation when it officially unveiled the game during the Blizzard Invitational held in Paris.

Details surrounding the game are still sketchy since the company has admitted that the game is far from finished. But the Blizzard guys had been gracious enough to actually provide a teaser trailer as well as a whopping twenty-minute gameplay footage featuring the Diablo staple Barbarian and the Witch Doctor, one of the new classes in the third game. A lot of gameplay improvements were shown during the gameplay footage but Blizzard has been mum about the other character classes that will be in the game.

I’ve been seriously contemplating leaving my PC game hobby because of the cost of maintaining a multi-platform game addiction but with a game like this in the horizon coupled with Starcraft, there really is no choice. I’ve got to stock up on energy drinks!
