Blizzard teases console version of Diablo III

Today, at a GamesCom press conference, Blizzard all but confirmed that a console version of Diablo 3 is in the pipeline.

Rumours of a console version have been circulating ever since Blizzard began posting job listings for a “Diablo-related project for consoles”, back in November of last year.

Diablo 3 lead designer Josh Mosqueira asserted that Blizzard “is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console,” adding that the developer is currently recruiting a team to handle the initiative.

“We’re looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job,” Mosqueria said.”All I can say is it’s going to be awesome. Stay tuned.”

But with no firm release date announced for the PC version of Diablo 3, a console version (if it exists at all) is still likely to be a fair way off.
