Diablo III’s necromancer can’t reanimate Blizzard’s aging game

Diablo III came out in 2012. Blizzard is now adding a new character class can keep the game running and earn it some money without having to release a full-on expansion for the aging game.

The Rise of the Necromancer pack came out on June 27 for Diablo III on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. For $15, players can unlock the new class, which Blizzard based off of one of the character options from Diablo II. This is a new way for the studio to introduce content to Diablo III. Before, the studio would release new classes as a part of an expansion that would come with other new features and more story-based content.
