For the popular video game developer company Blizzard Entertainment, the Worldwide Invitational tournament in Paris represented the perfect opportunity to officially announce the upcoming release of its Diablo III, its latest action Role Playing Game (RPG).

The introduction for the game was offered by Blizzard’s president and co-founder Mike Morhaime and the presentation was carried out by Jay Wilson.

The release is the franchise’s first in eight years and the hype surrounding the game managed to reach extremely high levels over the past few weeks.

Blizzard’s online service Battle.net will provide once again the game’s multiplayer option which has been very successful ever since its launch with the original Diablo game in 1997. It will be available for PCs and Macs and it is expected to ship simultaneously worldwide.

The game will benefit from some "realistic object dynamics and cloth simulation," with a 3D isometric view, as the demo trailer showed. It will offer a new experience with many hours of activity, as the game’s world map presents a very large number of locations, a lot more than the previous games in the series.

Just as everyone expected, the company did not announce the game’s official release date, stating that it is way too early to be talking about this, as the team’s members plan to spend as much time as needed to develop the game at its full potential, thus offering a product which will meet their expectations and of course, the ones of the game’s enthusiasts.

The announcement and demo trailer came after weeks of heavy speculations with fans all over the world expressing their beliefs about the game’s features and presentation.
