Diablo 3 for Consoles Is On
Diablo 3 for consoles looks closer to reality than ever after Blizzards posted a job ad looking for a senior producer to catapult the series from the PC.
While Blizzard has made no secret of the fact that such a move has been on the collective company mind for some time now, this is the first time weve actually seen action taken to get the ball rolling.
The job ad itself, posted on Gamasutra, specifically requests a senior producer for "Console Diablo III" asking for a minimum of 4 years in the video game industry and someone who has shipped at least one AAA console title in a senior producer role.
We first heard that Diablo III could hit consoles as well as PC in November last year when Blizzard told its community that it was exploring "a Diablo-related concept for consoles."
Last week Blizzard Entertainment CEO Mike Morhaime also said that the company was doing an investigation into Diablo III on console "to see if that could make sense".
Now it looks like the idea has been given the green light and things are finally starting to happen.
