<p>Blizzard has not made any official announcements about a potential console release of <em>Diablo III</em>; the company is, however, “continuing to explore” the option, according to Blizzard COO Paul Sams. If Blizzard decides to stray from their long time computer-only streak for a console release, “it will ultimately be the type of game that can really make sense and be really fun, well polished and a true Blizzard-level experience on a console,” <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/341386/diablo-3-on-console-will-be-a-true-blizzard-level-experience/" target="_blank">Sams told CVG</a>.</p>
<p>Blizzard has not released a game on a console since 1997’s <em>The Lost Vikings 2. </em>The first <em>Diablo</em> was ported to the original PlayStation, courtesy of Climax Group and publisher EA. Since then, the series has been regulated to the PC with mouse-and-keys-only for controls. The lack of console releases is not due to any aversion from Blizzard, Sams says: “We just want to make a great game. If the best experience involves a mouse and a keyboard, we’ll put it on PC. If it plays better with a controller, that’s the route we’d take. If it works on both…we’d make it for both.</p>
<p>“We think that we can have a really exciting and compelling experience that will play well on console in addition to PC.” With a confirmed <a href="https://bagogames.com/diablo-3-release-date-gamers-rejoice/">May</a> release date, Blizzard is mainly preoccupied with the game’s initial debut. Don’t be surprised if you hear more about potential ports soon afterwards.</p>
