Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition

Release Date: Aug 19 EU and NA

Diablo III takes place twenty years after the events of Diablo II. While Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal might have been defeated, players have a new problem to worry about. The Worldstone, which once defended 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. Gamers will have to choose from the roles of one of six powerful character classes -- Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor, Wizard, or the all-new Crusader -- and begin a dark journey to save the world of Sanctuary from ancient and sinister forces.

Arriving on Xbox 360 also.
