Diablo III news out of BlizzCon today, where Blizzard entertainment revealed a new class to be included in Diablo III, the Monk.  The Monk will be another melee class, like the Barbarian, but instead of focusing on strength in attack, the Monk will be more about lighting fast strikes, instead of brutal weapon blows.  The Monk will have the ability to move incredibly fast during battle, unleashing waves of devastating melee attack, in which enemies will be demolished by your feverish strikes before they’ve even really grasped what’s happening to them.

Blizzard said of the Monk character, “We wanted to add another melee character that was still hard-hitting, but lightning fast, to complement the raw strength and brutality of the barbarian. When we set out to design the monk, we wanted him to feel elegant and fluid, like something out of a fighting game. What we came up with is a holy warrior and martial artist who uses a unique arsenal of weaponry, hand-to-hand combat techniques, and a distinctive combo-based attack system.”

Blizzard is also rumored to be shopping Diablo III to consoles, considering a possible port of the upcoming PC sequel.  The only real problem being, how to change the interface so that Diablo III can still be played smoothly without a mouse/keyboard combo.  At any rate, multiplayer over Xbox Live on Diablo III would be freaking amazing, so I really hope this concept comes to life.
