Bliizard looking to bring Diablo III to consoles

A few months ago, Blizzard posted classifieds for a ”Diablo-related project for consoles,” which launched mass speculation of just what the developer was doing. Shacknews is reporting that Blizzard has all but confirmed that a console version of Diablo III is being worked on.

According to Diablo III lead designer Josh Mosqueira, Blizzard ”is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo III experience to the console,” and the developer is currently recruiting a team to handle the initiative. ”We’re looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job. All I can say is it’s going to be awesome. Stay tuned.”

It’ll be interesting to see what an adaptation for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will be like, especially since the PlayStation 2 attempt to bring Diablo to consoles was a disaster.

Diablo III has no release date yet on PC, but a beta will be launched sometime in the coming weeks.
