Diablo 3 headed to consoles?

By Ryan Fleming February 21, 2011

It still isn’t clear exactly when we can expect to see Diablo 3 other than the vague hopes of late 2011, but when it comes out, it may be on consoles as well as PC. The news is based on a posting by Blizzard on Gamasutra for a console producer, which was first seen by Tom’s Hardware.

The exact job post is looking for a “Senior Producer, Console Diablo III”. The job is full time with the Diablo team, and specifically requests that candidates have experience with console game development. The listing also requires a minimum of four years of experience in the video game industry, and candidates must have been listed in a senior producer role on “at least one AAA console title”(AAA titles are developed for the Xbox 360 and PS3, AA are Wii, and single A are for PSP and DS).

So it looks like Xbox 360 and PS3 gamers will have the chance to play Diablo 3! Someday, probably. Sadly, the post does not say what timetable the candidate would need to work under. Not that it should, but it would have been nice to read something like “candidate must complete work by November 15”, or maybe “candidate must be willing to work long hours until December 6”. All indications point to a 2011 release for Diablo 3, so here’s hoping.

After days of speculation, Xbox confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will come to Xbox Game Pass at launch. Xbox has not specified which platforms it will come to, though.

When Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was officially announced last week, fans immediately began speculating about its Game Pass status. It's the first Call of Duty title released since Microsoft successfully acquired Activision Blizzard, so a Game Pass launch seemed likely. While the announcement was initially leaked by a Game Pass notification, Xbox has now officially confirmed that the game is bound for the service.

Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 be on Xbox Game Pass?

Activision Blizzard, which is now owned by Microsoft, has just confirmed that the next Call of Duty game is titled Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. There's been one major point of contention ahead of this year's Call of Duty: Will it be on Xbox Game Pass at launch? A new report from The Wall Street Journal suggests that is the case.

Historically, Microsoft has added all its first-party games from Xbox Game Studios and Bethesda to Game Pass the day they launched. That applies to big AAA releases like Starfield, as well as more experimental titles like 2022's Pentiment and Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, which came out this week. Microsoft's public messaging thus far has teased that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will come to the Xbox Game Pass. That said, Microsoft has not officially confirmed it, so there have been conflicting reports on this actually being the case.
