Human: Diablo 3 bust sculpted in Zbrush. Diablo III is a highly successful action role-playing video game that has captured the hearts of millions worldwide. Developed by Blizzard Entertainment, this thrilling installment is the third chapter in the critically acclaimed Diablo franchise. Released simultaneously in the Americas, Europe, South Korea, and Taiwan on May 15, 2012, and Russia on June 7, 2012, for Microsoft Windows and OS X, Diablo III has been a benchmark of gaming excellence. A console version was later released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on September 3, 2013, followed by versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 19, 2014. In this gripping game, players take on the role of one of six powerful character classes - Barbarian, Crusader, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor, or Wizard - each with unique abilities and strengths. The ultimate goal is to defeat the formidable Lord of Terror, Diablo, in an epic battle of good versus evil. Diablo III shattered records by selling over 3.5 million copies within the first 24 hours of its release, cementing its status as the fastest-selling PC game of all time. In addition, it was the best-selling PC game of 2012, with sales exceeding 12 million copies that year alone. Across all platforms, Diablo III has sold an astonishing 15 million copies. While critics praised the game's engaging gameplay and rich storyline, some raised concerns about its digital rights management, which requires a constant internet connection, as well as its auction house system and lack of end-game content. However, these issues were addressed with the release of the expansion pack Diablo III: Reaper of Souls on March 25, 2014, for Windows and OS X editions. For console players, the expansion pack content was incorporated into the Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition version, which was released simultaneously on August 19, 2014, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. This comprehensive edition includes both the original console version of Diablo III and the Reaper of Souls expansion pack.
