About

Diablo III is a dark fantasy action role-playing game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment for macOS and Microsoft Windows on May 15, 2012, later carried to PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. Announced years before it shipped, it is the third main entry in the Diablo series.

Players choose a class and fight through a hack-and-slash dungeon crawl across Sanctuary, hunting demons, gathering loot and growing stronger as the Burning Hells press in. Known for its responsive combat, its endless search for better gear and its long afterlife of patches and expansions, it became one of the best-selling games Blizzard has released.
