Diablo 3 beta: Some news

A group of journalists were invited to Blizzard's headquarters in California to get an early look at the next installment of the Diablo series. Blizzard is expected to release a beta of the game later this year, but in the meantime, there has been some information released about the game.

Here are some of the things that have been mentioned about the game:

• Better narrative
• No mods
• Auction house that will deal with real-world cash
• You cannot play off-line

Yes, you read right, there will be no off-line play. You need to be permanently online to play the single player game.

Anyway, once you look past that point, I'm sure there will still be millions of people emptying their wallets when the game finally hits the shelves. In the meantime though, the source link is an interesting read for the rest of us who are waiting patiently.
