Diablo 3’s release date is just over a month away, and to celebrate Blizzard has revealed new videos of some of the game’s more destructive skills.
“Doing battle with the Burning Hells means fighting fire with fire, and this week’s videos are all about destruction. We’ve got skills to tear through demonic invaders with summoned zombies and locusts, pepper them with knives and arrows, warp their minds, blow their bodies apart, and more,” reads the Diablo 3 blog.
