Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Coming March 25th

On March 25th, the crusade against death itself begins when Diablo III: Reaper of Souls is released for PC. Brave heroes willing to answer the call to action can prepare for the Angel of Death’s forthcoming onslaught by pre-purchasing the expansion digitally at http://www.diablo3.com/reaper starting today.

Prior to the launch of Reaper of Souls, a free update to Diablo III on PC will bring a host of new game features, including a major revamp of the game’s loot system; an expanded Paragon progression system for max-level characters; and expanded social tools in the form of Clans and Communities. When Reaper of Souls is released on March 25th, it will introduce an array of game-changing features and content for Diablo III players who purchase the expansion, including:

• Act V: A dark and terrifying chapter sending players on a final confrontation with death itself
• The Crusader: A new playable hero—a veritable war machine made human
• Level Cap to 70: Formidable new spells and abilities that take players to new heights of power
• Adventure Mode: A new game mode that gives players the freedom to go anywhere and slay anything
• Bounties: Randomized objectives that reward players in new ways for exploring Sanctuary
• Nephalem Rifts: Fully randomized dungeons offering endless replayability and heaps of loot
• The Mystic: A powerful new artisan who provides heroes with loot-customization options

All of this new content comes with the Reaper of Souls Standard Edition (available in physical and digital versions), which players can pre-purchase for $39.99. Players also have the option to upgrade their pre-purchase to the Digital Deluxe Edition ($59.99), which contains a wealth of in-game bonuses:

• Exclusive helm- and weapon-transmogrification recipes for players to distinguish their characters among the champions of Sanctuary
• A Spectral Hound minion players can summon to keep their adventurers company on their epic journey
• Three additional character slots to accommodate new heroes
• A World of Warcraft in-game companion pet, the Treasure Goblin, ready to compete in Pet Battles
• A set of StarCraft II Crusader-themed Battle.net portraits and Malthael-themed decals

The Reaper of Souls retail-exclusive Collector’s Edition comes fully-equipped with all of the bonus items from the Digital Deluxe Edition and also includes a full-color hardcover art book, a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD two-disc set, and a mouse pad bearing the visage of Malthael, the Angel of Death. The Collector’s Edition is available at select retailers for $79.99.
