First Diablo III expansion announced

Posted by: 8/21/2013

Blizzard has announced the first expansion for the hit game Diablo III. Titled Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, the expansion will feature new characters, settings, level cap, and more.

Malthael will be the main villain in the Reaper of Souls expansion. He is making his first appearance after Diablo II: Lord of Destruction, and returns as the Angel of Death. But there is a new class for players to use to take down Malthael. The Crusader class is added in the expansion, and is described as a “walking tank.” The Crusader wears heavy armor and has access to powerful weapons. He can also battle magic to strengthen allies and damage enemies.

Reaper of Souls also raises the level cap to 70, adding new spells and abilities with this level cap. There are also new enemies, new loot, new quests, and a greater emphasis on randomized environments. Sounds like a great expansion to a great game. No release date has been announced, but expect it sometime in 2014. Check out the gameplay and cinematic trailers of Diablo III: Reaper of Souls below.
