Consoles eagerly anticipate a potential Diablo 3 port

Posted by: Caleb Welty at Nov. 16, 2010 2:24 pm

So you thought you were special because you're a 'PC Gamer'? Well your haughty elitism could take a major blow, because Blizzard is seriously considering bringing Diablo 3 to those redneck console lovers.

It all started when Blizzard posted three job advertisements under the Diablo 3 category that said "the ideal candidate has prior experience in console game development...extensive knowledge of Diablo". That caused uproar among fans, and some even interpreted it as an official confirmation that the game was going to be ported.

Not so fast.

Blizzard quickly calmed the masses with the following post on the Diablo 3 community fan page.

We’re exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you’re passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.

Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.


So what does this mean? We think Blizzard is being straight up with us...but we also think it's a matter of time before our Xbox 360 frenemies get to hack-n-slash on their beloved consoles.
