The game had previously only been confirmed for PS4.
The Ultimate Evil Edition features both the original game and Reaper of Souls expansion, with all four console versions including support for 4-player local and online multiplayer. The console versions will also let players share treasures with friends though an in-game mailing system, including “mysterious Player Gifts containing rare loot for the adventurer whose name they bear”.
Those who have already played the original Diablo 3 on Xbox 360 or PS3 will also be able to transfer their characters to the new game, including the next-gen version of the same console family. For example, if you’ve already played through Diablo 3 on PS3, you’ll be able to transfer your character to PS4.
“The Ultimate Evil Edition brings Reaper of Souls to console gamers for the first time, and wraps all of the content, features, and updates we’ve released for Diablo III into one epic package,” said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Whether you’re a veteran of the crusade against the forces of evil on PC or are just stepping foot into Sanctuary for the first time, there’s never been a better time to experience Diablo III from the comfort of your couch.”
