New character revealed at Blizzcon

Blizzcon starts tomorrow and there’s a ton of news related to Diablo 3 and the other Blizzard games.

Starting with Diablo 3 – there will be a playable demo (as predicted here). If you’re lucky to have a ticket, you’ll be able to play as a Witch Doctor or Barbarian. A third class will also be revealed and it will be playable too (see quote below from Blizzcon brochure):

Among these brave champions stands the enigmatic witch doctor, a spiritual warrior from deep within the Torajan jungles. At BlizzCon 2008, the witch doctor is yours to command for the first tim ever. Stop by the Diablo area on the show floor for your chance to lead this fierce new hero into the catacombs beneath the Tristram Cathedral.

While you’re there, revisit the raw strength of the barbarian – a Diablo series classic – or try your hand at Sanctuary’s newest champion, who will be revealed at the event.

So we have two basic archetypes: fighter and mage. Place your bets on who’s the next class to be revealed? I vote someone with shield … and hammer. Hammerdin!

    Only 2 classes to go… I think they should go for the classy KNIGHT in shining armor. It is good to know that there is also a slick rogue or some sort like a HUNTER or a NIGHTBLADE…

    I meant.. It is better if there is a HUNTER or a NIGHTBLADE, something like that
