Nintendo Switch (Graphic: Business Wire)
The Eternal Collection is the definitive edition of the
award-winning action RPG, including everything from the original
Diablo III, the critically-acclaimed Reaper of Souls® expansion,
and the Rise of the Necromancer® pack. With seven powerful
character classes, a five-act campaign that spans the lore-rich and
demon-infested world of Sanctuary, and an endlessly replayable
Adventure Mode, the Eternal Collection is the perfect all-in-one
package to introduce newcomers to a lifetime of adventure.
The Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch incorporates the
system’s flexibility and versatility into its design. Whether using
a Joy-Con™ controller or a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, players
will have an awe-inspiring assortment of demon-slaying powers at
their fingertips, thanks to intuitive, ultra-responsive controls
custom-built for Nintendo Switch. And true to the spirit of the
Diablo series, players will also have a wealth of options when it
comes to cleansing Sanctuary cooperatively—up to four players can
band together to engage in grand multiplayer crusades, whether
they’re sharing a screen on a single Nintendo Switch, linking their
systems together wirelessly, or teaming up through the Nintendo
Switch Online* service.
“The Eternal Collection is the definitive version of Diablo III,
and we’re thrilled to team up with Nintendo to unleash it for
Nintendo Switch gamers around the world later this year,” said Mike
Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. “Bringing
the world together through epic entertainment is core to our
mission at Blizzard—we can’t wait to welcome a new generation of
demon-slayers to Sanctuary.”
"At Nintendo, we're huge fans of rich and compelling games that
speak to players around the world," said Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo
of America President and COO. "By partnering with companies like
Blizzard, we're able to create new ways of engaging with beloved
content. Blizzard and Nintendo share a commitment to redefining the
way people play games, and with Diablo III Eternal Collection for
Nintendo Switch, that means players can now explore the vast world
of Sanctuary anytime they like, and anywhere they go."
Diablo III is the fastest-selling PC game of all time**. The
Reaper of Souls expansion introduced the mighty Crusader class, the
infinitely-replayable Adventure Mode, and a host of other
game-defining features, like the random loot-filled Nephalem Rift
dungeons. In 2017, Rise of the Necromancer resurrected the
fan-favorite Necromancer class from Diablo II, bolstering players’
forces with the gruesome powers of blood and bone. All of this is
included in Diablo III Eternal Edition for the Nintendo Switch
system, on top of platform-exclusive bonus items, like The Legend
of Ganondorf cosmetic armor set, inspired by the iconic villain
from The Legend of Zelda series.
Diablo III Eternal Collection for Nintendo Switch will be
available later this year at retail stores everywhere and digitally
through the Nintendo eShop. Gamers in North America and Europe will
be able to get an early look at Diablo III Eternal Collection this
August at Gamescom in Cologne, Fan Expo in Toronto, and PAX West in
Seattle. For more information, visit
