Blizzard: “Exploring A Diablo-Related Concept For Consoles”

So, will Diablo 3 make it on to consoles? Previously, Blizzard had expressed interest on a Diablo 3 for consoles: “It’s sort of an ongoing question. And I’m sure we would all love to play it on console”

Now, Blizzard has posted for “an open console position” and believes “with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform”:

“We’re exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team. As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you’re passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.”

However, they are not announcing a Diablo title for consoles:

“Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.”

Still, this initiative shows that Blizzard is trying out the console waters.

Diablo 3 is currently scheduled for release on PC and MAC only.
