Diablo III picks up the story twenty years after the events of Diablo II. Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal have been defeated, but the Worldstone, which once shielded the inhabitants of the world of Sanctuary from the forces of both Heaven and Hell, has been destroyed, and evil once again stirs in Tristram. Playing as a hero from one of five distinct character classes, players will acquire powerful items, spells, and abilities as they explore new and familiar areas of Sanctuary and battle hordes of demons to safeguard the world from the horrors that have arisen.
Diablo III is one of two products expected from Blizzard in 2012. The developer is also working on Heart of the Swarm, the next version of StarCraft II, and Mists of Pandaria, an expansion to its popular MMO World of Warcraft, and has not clarified which will launch in 2012.
Diablo III will launch in the United States, Canada, Europe, South Korea, Southest Asia, Australia, New Zealand and parts of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau at retail locations. The game will be download-only in Mexico, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil on March 15. On June 7, Diablo III will be made available digitally in Russia
