Diablo 2 only had one major expansion, Lord of Destruction, and I'm wondering if a second one is in the cards for Diablo 3. I am wondering with all Blizzard has going on these days between WoW expansions, another Starcraft expansion, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm, where on the priority list another D3 expansion would be. Blizzard was very smart to bring D3 to consoles, and I'm very curious to see how it will look/play on Xbox One and PS4 now. Despite a lack of hotkeys, the button arrangements made it feel like a more action-orientated game, and to this day, I still maintain that I like the console version's gameplay better, and I really don't miss the sound of my own incessant mouse-clicking. I was pleasantly surprised with how well the ARPG worked on a console, when I played the PS3 version last year. But Blizzard painstakingly redesigned nearly everything about the game over the past few years, and through endless amounts of patches, made it more or less into what many hoped to see from D3 at launch. But no matter what, you'll have to start a Crusader from scratch, and no, there is absolutely no way to import your characters from the PC version.ĭiablo 3 recently hit 20 million in sales across all platforms, a huge milestone for a game that was considered a pretty big whiff at launch. After spending an ungodly amount of time maxing out five level sixty characters in the console version of the original D3, it would have been exhausting to consider releveling them for Ultimate Evil. The full set of instructions explain all this better than I can here, but it's good to know they did follow through with this functionality. But even then, it might be possible to pull your save data from a USB drive or the cloud, Blizzard says. It seems relatively painless, unless of course your system is packed away, or worse yet, sold for magic beans at GameStop. The process requires your old console to be taken out of mothballs and for you to download a patch and export your save, then import it when you have the new-gen version of Ultimate Evil.

In other words, you can't switch from 360 to PS3, or PS4 to One down the line. What you can't do? Hop from one generation's system to the rival brand's of the same era. Things get a bit trickier however when trying to jump from PS3 to PS4, Xbox 360 to Xbox One or even cross-brand, next-gen leaps, moving from PS3 to One, or 360 to PS4, which is indeed possible.
