Price and release date revealed for the expansion of the new point and click RPG from Blizzard.
The announcement, which took place via the Battle.net American store, confirms the arrival of Diabol 3: Reaper of Souls for March 25 on PC and Mac, with a cost of $ 40 in its standard version and $ 59,99 in its Digital Deluxe version. A very high price for an expansion, considering that for the same price we could buy a game in its entirety, rather than an expansion. All this makes us think of a really substantial update. Stay with us for future updates! [UPDATE]Blizzard has released a press release that illustrates the new game modes of the Reaper of Souls expansion and from which it is possible to understand that it is indeed a really important update in terms of functionality. It will also be released before Reaper of Souls is released a free upgrade for Diablo III on Windows and Mac which will introduce new gameplay features, including a revamp of the game loot system, an enhanced leveling system for max level characters, and an expansion of social features with the introduction of clans and clubs. The game is already pre-orderable online. There are also two editions, a standard one at a price of 39,90 euros, and another, Deluxe, at a price of 59,99 euros. It will then be available, but in limited quantities, one Collector's edition at a price of 79,99 euros
Below is the press release with all the info.
