Blizzard: Diablo 3 in development for Xbox One, release not finalized

4.6
Diablo 3: Ultimate Evil Edition is up and running on the Xbox One, though its release is not yet certain, Diablo 3 lead producer Alex Mayberry told Videogamer this morning.

"I don't know where we are with Microsoft right now so I can't really comment on what that contract looks like," Mayberry said. "The point is we are developing for Xbox [One] and PS4 simultaneously. We hit those major platforms and then our goal as a development team is to make them run."

Diablo 3's upgraded Ultimate Evil Edition was previously announced as a PlayStation 4 exclusive. Blizzard notes that the upcoming port will feature content from this week's forthcoming "Reaper of Souls" PC expansion, along with expanded social features and a redesigned interface suited for consoles.

Mayberry explains that cross-platform development is standard practice for Blizzard's console ports. "We have that pipeline worked out," he told Videogamer. "We've already done it with the 360 and PS3, so that team knows how to develop at the same time for both of those platforms. That's just what we do. And then Blizzard and Microsoft can work out whatever they work out."

I may end up getting this since I need more games for my Xbox One, and I've heard this game is pretty fun.

I didn't like Diablo 3 as much as the previous games, but it was still good. I would buy it again on consoles.

Looking forward to getting this on the Xbox One. Great game on the 360, pretty sure it'll be even better on the One.

Shame Diablo 3 was a bit of a let down imo. I'd rather they spent the time on fresh games.

This would be cool. I'd buy it for sure.
