Blizzard hasn’t been shy about telling the world they were working on a “controller test” for Diablo III. However, they have also been quick to point out that a console version of the game wasn’t being officially announced as its release wasn’t a certainty.
But as of today, it is.
Blizzard Community Manager Micah Whiple was asked to confirm or deny the existence of the console version of Diablo III by another Twitter user and, with a simple “Yup,” confirmed that the game is no longer PC exclusive:
TaNGoIX:
@Bashiok can you confirm or deny Diablo 3 coming to consoles? Thanks.Bashiok:
@TaNGoIX Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project.
Obviously, it is much too early to speculate about a date for Diablo III’s debut on consoles (or even which consoles it’ll appear on, for that matter). But confirmation that it’s a real game and not just a test is a good first step.
