Shared by Nate

finally.

The Internet is on fire this morning as Blizzard confirmed what we have all been expecting and praying for. With the announcement of Diablo III at their 2008 Worldwide Invitational event, you’ll be lucky if you can get any of Blizzard’s links to work smoothly any time soon, but I know that won’t stop you from trying. Above is the two minute cinematic teaser for the impatient people, below are a few screenshots of their splash pages, and after the jump is a monster of a twenty minute gameplay video, as well as an artwork compilation trailer. Keep checking back for more updates throughout the day!
