Earlier this year in February, Blizzard <a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/03\/rumour_is_blizzard_teasing_a_nintendo_switch_port_of_diablo_3\">tweeted<\/a> a Diablo-themed night light being &#8216;switched&#8217; on and off. Blizzard at the time denied the game&#8217;s existence and said it wasn&#8217;t that clever.

The news stems from an alleged leak on <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/erikkain\/2018\/08\/15\/diablo-iii-is-coming-to-the-nintendo-switch-in-2018-with-exclusive-content\/\">Forbes<\/a> which was then posted on <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/nintendo\/comments\/97kj0x\/forbes_article_confirms_diablo_iii_on_switch_with\/\">Reddit<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Switch version of the game will supposedly be released as the\u00a0<strong>Diablo III:\u00a0Eternal Collection<\/strong> for $59.99, and will include the <strong>Reaper of Souls<\/strong> and <strong>Rise of the Necromancer<\/strong>\u00a0expansions. All existing updates Blizzard has released for the game since it was launched are said to be included, and there will even be exclusive <strong><a class=\"external\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nes\/legend_of_zelda\">Legend of Zelda<\/a><\/strong> content in the form of a <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nibellion\/status\/1029808069897842690\">Ganondorf armour\u00a0set<\/a>, Tri-Force portrait frame, a Cucco pet and Echoes of the Mask cosmetic wings.<\/p>\n<p>The PC version of the third Diablo game was originally released in 2012. It had an incredibly bumpy launch with Blizzard drastically overhauling the dungeon-crawler since then to make it a more enjoyable experience. There have even been modes added and removed over the years. The last Blizzard game released on a Nintendo console was the RTS-hit\u00a0<strong>Starcraft 64<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rumours of Diablo 3 coming to the Nintendo Switch have been flying about for some time now.
