News: Blizzard has released Diablo III: Reaper of Souls Ultimate Evil Edition on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3.

Diablo III: Reaper of Souls - Ultimate Evil Edition is now available on Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3. The console-exclusive Ultimate Evil Edition is filled to the brim with action, adventure, and epic loot—it includes all of the content from Blizzard's award-winning action role-playing game Diablo III, as well as new features and updates from the critically acclaimed Reaper of Souls expansion, including Adventure Mode, Act V, the Crusader class, leveling to 70, new Legendary loot, new crafting options, and much more.

"With the Ultimate Evil Edition, we wanted to create a truly epic action-RPG for current- and next-gen systems, so we included all of the latest Diablo III and Reaper of Souls content and added innovative social features like the Nemesis System and Apprentice Mode," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're excited to be delivering the definitive Diablo console-gaming experience to new and returning players, and we can't wait to see everyone in Sanctuary."

The Ultimate Evil Edition takes advantage of the unique features of the console platforms. All four console versions of the Ultimate Evil Edition feature 4-player same-screen and online multiplayer—whether Sanctuary's heroes are banding together on the same couch or joining the fray via PlayStation Network or Xbox Live, Reaper of Souls makes it easy to experience Diablo in the best way possible: with friends.

The Ultimate Evil Edition also adds more ways for players to share their adventures: Apprentice Mode makes it easier than ever to group up with friends; the Nemesis System sends hero-slaying monsters into friends' games until vengeance is won; and new Player Mail and Player Gift features give players new options for sharing their treasures with allies—because nothing says "friendship" like unwrapping a piece of awesome loot.

In addition, players who fought the forces of evil in the original PS3 or Xbox 360 versions of Diablo III are able to continue their crusade against death, including cross-platform support on next-gen consoles. PS3 characters from the original game can be transferred to the PS3, PS4, or Xbox One version of the Ultimate Evil Edition, and Xbox 360 characters can be transferred to the Xbox 360, Xbox One, or PS4 versions.
