Insight Editions will launch the Diablo III: Book of Cain (Hardcover) on November 15, 2011.
"This book is designed as an “in-world” artifact from the Diablo universe, Diablo III: Book of Cain includes Cain’s revealing meditations, as well as dozens of sketches and color artworks depicting the angelic and demonic beings who wage constant war with one another.
The last Diablo product containing lore was published in 2007. After a four-year hiatus, this Diablo III product might hint a Q4 2011 release date of Diablo III.
Several novels based on StarCraft II and the World of Warcraft expansions have shared a nigh simultaneous release date, some with a margin of a month earlier than the game."
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.
Finally a new Diablo lore product to calm my hunger.
Out of the three main BLizzard universes, I find Warcraft's the most rich and interesting. But the Diablo universe is just badass!
