these Diablo 1 inspired levels will only last for one month before being shelved away until next year. Unfortunately, there is some more bad news. While I'm not sure whether that is going to be nostalgic fun or just plain ol' annoying, I must applaud Blizzard for their willingness to at least experiment with the concept! On the positive side, we will soon be getting a couple of Diablo 1 inspired levels on the PTR (Public Test Realm), so there's at least something new and exciting to play around with. These won't be 'just any' levels, however, as they will feature much darker and serious visuals, as well as significantly restricted movement in order to better emulate the original classic.

Personally, I don't see myself grabbing this pack unless its around €5 because I've pretty much done everything there is to do in Diablo 3, and this pack does very little to remedy that problem. While there is currently no price tag, I can tell you that the Rise of the Necromancer Pack will also bring with it an in-game pet, two additional character slots, two additional stash tabs (on PC), a portrait frame, pennant, banner, and banner sigil. the Necromancer will be arriving as a paid piece of DLC. If you're wondering what the Necromancer might look and sound like, wonder no more as Blizzard has also posted a brief teaser video showcasing some of his lore and abilities.


While it might not be the big Diablo 4 announcement many were hoping for, Blizzard did reveal a rather exciting bit of news for Diablo 3 during today's Blizzcon - the Necromancer class! Fans of the skeleton-wielding and bonespear-flinging hero from Diablo 2 will be glad to hear that Blizzard is striving to make him as authentic as possible, while still improving upon his toolkit so that he can compete with the Witch Doctor for that prestigious 'spooky wizard' position.
