Epic new chapter in Blizzard Entertainment’s
critically acclaimed Diablo® series NOW LIVE
Take up the blessed arms and impenetrable
shield of the mighty Crusader and explore the world of Sanctuary
like never before
The time has come for the greatest heroes of the mortal realm to
answer the call to arms and join the crusade against death itself.
Diablo® III: Reaper of Souls™ is now live and ready to challenge
Windows® and Mac® gamers around the world.
In Reaper of Souls, the five valiant heroes from Diablo
III—Barbarian, Demon Hunter, Monk, Witch Doctor, and Wizard—are
joined by a new champion: the Crusader. Clad head to toe in
fortified armor, the Crusader is an unstoppable force of righteous
destruction who channels the power of divine wrath to visit
retribution upon his demonic quarry.
Reaper of Souls adds a challenging new act to Diablo III in
which players will embark on a dark and perilous journey through
terrifying landscapes; explore the legendary city of Westmarch; and
slay countless minions, each hell-bent on bringing their heroic
quest to a grisly end. The adventure culminates in a climactic
confrontation with Malthael, the Angel of Death, whose twisted
designs spell ruin for the innocent people of Sanctuary.
“Together with the new loot experience we added to the game,
Reaper of Souls improves on Diablo III in countless ways,” said
Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
“Players returning to Sanctuary will find a darker, more engaging,
and much more rewarding experience awaiting them.”
A recent free update to Diablo III on Windows and Mac introduced
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. With the purchase of Reaper of Souls, players will
gain access to game-changing new features and highly replayable
content, 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 purchase at a suggested retail price of $39.99. Players also

pet, the Treasure Goblin, ready to compete in Pet Battles

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 gorgeous full-color hardcover art book,
a behind-the-scenes Blu-ray/DVD two-disc set, and a mouse pad
bearing the impenetrable visage of Malthael, the Angel of Death.
