Blizzard is trudging up the bones of its past. The Necromancer, a fan-favorite class from Diablo 2, will return in both PC and console versions of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls in 2017 as part of the Rise of the Necromancer pack. He (or she) comes with power over death, spells that make corpses explode, and a spooky reveal trailer. Take a look:
It's been interesting to watch the development of Diablo 3, which launched with horrible online functionality issues and restrictions, as well as a lackluster endgame, in 2012. Since then, it's expanded to consoles - which ditched its always-online DRM - and made a significant number of gameplay improvements.
In other words, this entry in the series has been much more of a living service as opposed to a "buy it once and that's the version you get" product. And if that means getting to experience a new twist on an old favorite, I'm okay with that.
