Confirming the previously leaked details we reported back in August 2018, Nintendo and Blizzard have confirmed that Diablo III will be officially launching on the Switch games console in a few months time on November 2nd, 2018.
As previously thought, the Switch version of Diablo III will come with its own exclusive content that includes a Ganondorf-themed armour set, a Tri-Force portrait frame, a Zelda-themed pet, and Echoes of the Mask cosmetic wings. The Switch Diablo III game will also include Diablo III’s two expansions, Reaper of Souls and Rise of the Necromancer.
Gameplay and Features
“The game takes place in Sanctuary, the dark fantasy world of the Diablo Series, twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Deckard Cain and Leah are in Tristram Cathedral (the same cathedral that was the setting of Diablo) investigating ancient texts regarding an ominous prophecy. A mysterious star falling from the sky strikes the Cathedral, creating a deep crater into which Deckard Cain disappears.”
Diablo III on the Switch will offer both local and online multiplayer modes, allowing players to team up with friends or other players around the world. The game supports up to four players in co-op mode, making it a great option for social gaming sessions. The portability of the Switch means you can take the game on the go, playing in handheld mode or docking it for a more traditional console experience.
Exclusive Content and Expansions
The exclusive content for the Switch version adds a unique twist to the game, especially for fans of the Zelda series. The Ganondorf-themed armour set allows players to dress their characters in the iconic villain’s attire, while the Tri-Force portrait frame and Zelda-themed pet add a touch of nostalgia. The Echoes of the Mask cosmetic wings are another exciting addition, giving players even more customization options.
The inclusion of the Reaper of Souls and Rise of the Necromancer expansions means that players will have access to all the additional content and features that have been released for Diablo III since its initial launch. Reaper of Souls introduces a new character class, the Crusader, as well as a new act, new enemies, and new gameplay mechanics. Rise of the Necromancer adds the Necromancer class, allowing players to command armies of the undead and wield dark magic.
