Instead, we can pack up the Nintendo Switch handheld and play Diablo III whenever, and wherever. Now, we don’t have to say goodbye to Diablo III should we find ourselves away from our PC. While each DLC release motivated us to temporarily ignore other releases in loyalty to our beloved Diablo, the game’s port to Nintendo Switch presents a unique opportunity to put in more hours than ever before thanks to its portability. In 2014, the first DLC for Diablo III called Reaper of Souls was released, followed by the Rise of the Necromancer DLC in 2017. In the years that followed, we put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into Diablo III. As long-time fans of the series, we were immediately sucked in. Of course, it wouldn’t be a Blizzard release without a few pre-order bonuses, which, in this case, features a costume inspired by The Legend of Zelda’s Ganondorf.Ī release date for The Eternal Collection hasn’t been confirmed, although Blizzard said in a press release that it will be launching later this year with a hands-on demo available at Gamescom 2018 next week.We have fond memories of the first time we played Diablo III on PC back in 2012. You will need a subscription to Nintendo’s upcoming online service, though. New and intuitive controls have also been implemented for the platform alongside wireless multiplayer, whether you’re playing docked or handheld. This includes all expansions, characters and classes in a single package. Nintendo Switch players will gain access to the definitive Diablo 3 experience with the Eternal Collection. Having been teased by Blizzard itself back in March 2018, many fans thought the appearance of Diablo 3 on Switch was impossible after the tease was confirmed to be coincidental. Now, Blizzard’s highly addictive loot-driven RPG can soon be played wherever you want thanks to Nintendo’s hybrid console.

Originally released for PC and Mac back in 2012, Diablo 3 and all of its downloadable expansion content also made their way to PS4 and Xbox One with a pair of silky smooth ports. Blizzard Entertainment has announced that Diablo 3 is coming to Nintendo Switch with the aptly named ‘Eternal Collection.’
