Blizzard Invades PAX East March 22-24

PAX East kicks off this week! Are you ready?

GENERAL INFORMATION

What: Hosted annually in Boston, PAX East is a celebration of gaming culture and community
Where: Boston Convention & Exhibition Center booth #1036 of the Expo Hall
When: March 22–24

Head on over to east.paxsite.com for panel schedules, hotel and travel information, forums, and more. If you have an iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, or Windows 7 smart phone, you can also download the super sexy (and super official) PAX East 2013 app from Guidebook for free.

SOMETHING NEW

We've got something new to share, and we're bringing it to PAX East! If you're attending, be sure to arrive at the Naga theater early in order to secure a seat for our presentation. If you're not going to PAX East this year (or you just went a little too crazy the night before), we've got you covered -- the whole thing is being streamed live on the official PAX Twitch channel at 10:00 a.m. EDT Friday, March 22.

THE GREAT JEWEL OF PAX EAST

Gather your gear, heroes, and get ready to face down the Burning Hells on the PlayStation 3!

Our action-packed single-player hands-on demo will showcase several key elements that make Diablo III on the PS3 so much fun, including a reimagined interface and inventory system, direct character control, updated camera, and bosses and monsters specifically tuned for console. Players will also get to experience gameplay from Act III of the campaign where they’ll get to test their mettle as either the cunning Demon Hunter or mighty Barbarian.

We'll have demo stations available from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT in booth #1036 of the Expo Hall, so if you’re in the area (and in the mood for some ritual demon slaughter), be sure to stop by and check it out!

RNG IS RNG: RAFFLES, GIVEAWAYS, AND MORE. . .

In addition to showcasing the PS3 version of Diablo III and chatting you up about the game as you saunter by, we'll also be giving away enough swag and prizes to make a Treasure Goblin jealous.

The Diablo III team will be sharing updates, photos, and more live from the convention floor, so be sure to "Like" us on Facebook and follow our official Twitter feed so you don't miss out.

For those who are Boston-bound, we salute you . . . and hope to see you there!

I was never really deep into TCG, but the graphics and gameplay look awesome. I love the Warcraft universe just because of how large it is, and I think that the idea behind the game is great and it brings some thing different for Blizzard. It might not get the kind of numbers that WoW does, but that's not the goal. Good job guys!

Are you kidding me? A card game? UGH, so disappointing! Such a waste of resources Imo. Work on World Of Warcraft, we all know multiple problems still exist within the game. Very frustrating.

@Canon: Didn't you see the developer's video on this game? It's a different team (team 5) working on this. The WoW people are still working on WoW

I will be at PAX East but will be avoiding this booth. I don't care to play Diablo 3 on a console.

Has to be Blizzard All-Stars. They already said it's not an expansion, sequel or the next gen MMO. Only thing left is the dota they are making.

@Furby: actually it isnt. the Warcraft trilogy predates and sometimes coincides with wow. wc4 would be a different story. perhaps more related to cata or mop or maybe even something entirely new

Not an expansion, different from past games, and not the next-gen MMORPG (Titan). It's either Blizzard all stars are some major mobile reveal (pet battles on android/iOS).

I'm willing to bet they announce their next-gen mmo. Which is totally in progress.
Or maybe it's patch 5.3: Ahn'Qiraj; The Second Coming.

I hope the something new is a tease for the next wow expansion. I really don't want to wait until November for that. :(

@Songi: Yeah, that's what I think, too. They said something about an "unannounced project" though, but wasn't BAS technically already announced? Guess we'll find out this weekend, won't we?

@Milyna: Rob Pardo mentioned that this announcement has nothing to do with Project Titan, but Blizzard All-Stars would be something interesting to hear about. (Page 3 of MMO-Champ if you want to read the whole Tweet)

@Songi: Doesn't make sense since we already know about Blizzard All-Stars. How could it be BAS if it's "something new"?

@Bokushi: You wouldn't be expecting it. Blizzard All-Stars would be a new game wouldn't it? A very fun looking one at that! It could be something totally different than these two theories as well. Frankly, I didn't know anything about BAS until a quick google search after reading these comments. I really hope it's BAS instead of project titan (even though they said it's not PT)

People who keep thinking the "new mmo" is setting themselves up for a HUGE disappointment. They already said it won't be anything to do with that.

My god people they've already said that “We've been working on a little something different from our other games. It’s not a sequel, expansion or that rumored next-gen MMO, but it’s something we’re excited for you to get your hands on.” Check the link on ign for the full article.
