Recently it was announced Diablo 3 is being developed for both the PS4 and Xbox One.
According to IGN, only the PS4 version of the game has a set release date and an official confirmation. However, the game was hinted at for the Xbox One, although not confirmed.
"I can't confirm it at this point, as I don't have a release date, at all for that," said Alex Mayberry, the game's lead producer, to IGN. "The way we develop, it's as if there will be an Xbox One version, but until it's announced there's nothing official."
He continued on and said Diablo 3 may arrive sooner than anticipated for the PS4.
"It's being worked on," he said. "I don't have any release dates to announce, but it's not far behind. They kind of have to wait for the PC side to wrap before they can completely finish, but they've been in parallel development with us the whole time. As we developed on the PS, they pulled it into the console version and then they make it work. It won't be long, but I can't give an exact date as we still need to go through certifications."
