Diablo III TV Commercial Premieres Sunday on Fox

Posted 27 April 2012 by Rushster

Here we go folks the long awaited Diablo III TV Commercial. What we will get we don’t know but Blizzard promises us a cinematic trailer with some never before seen scenes. What ever it is I am very psyched to see it and hope you are too.

On Sunday, April 29, a new Diablo III television commercial will debut on FOX during Family Guy (9 p.m./8 p.m. Central). The spot includes a few juicy bits of never-before-seen Diablo III cinematic footage and sets a nightmarish tone as we count down the days to the end of days…

Flux Update: Anyone hoping for new game footage or info should temper those expectations and revisit the StarCraft 2 TV commercial. We’ll likely get a flaming D3 game logo + 28 seconds of scenes from the D3 CGI cinematics, all set to scary music and dramatic, gravely-voiced narration. Click through to revisit the SC2 commercial, if you’ve forgotten.

Honestly, would anyone guess this was for a video game, rather than a CGI film, if they didn’t know better? Amusingly, they could reuse this EXACT narration and the same on-screen captions for the D3 commercial.

“War is coming, in all its glory and horror. The wait is finally over.”

  • I guess it is going to be the Tyrael and Imperius cinematic that got cut off from 15th year retrospective cinematic.

    • I was about to post the same thing, but you beat me to it… I would not be surprised in the slightest if the “never before seen” stuff is just what they cut out of the retrospective…

  • Is anyone else surprised that it has taken this long for a TV advertisement?

  • why is everyone so angry all the time? last week people are freaking out because there is no commercial and now there is and its not premiering on whatever there favorite show is, does it really matter? what show should it have appeared on the super bowl? come on people quit coming on here and being negative cant you just be happy and come on here once and have something nice to say?

    • In response to some other outbreak of QQing, I once quoted my old Granny’s exasperated tag line, “You’d bitch if you was hung with a new rope.”  I don’t know if I’d break it out again in this thread, but complaining about the show the first D3 commercial will be shown on is pretty far down the importance-o-meter. Given that it’ll be on the Diablo YT channel 30 seconds later, and in news on this site 30 seconds after that.

      • But this gives pseduo-intellectuals an avenue to flaunt their feigned superiority over lesser beings. I like to call it autoerotic sophistication.

  • This kind of makes sense given Abd al-Hazir blatantly sounds like Stewie from Family guy!

  • I foresee a commentary post comparing the D1 to D2 to D3 commercials…

  • You ****in people kill me. What, does a show like family guy hurt your feelings? Is it to crude for your lofty mind? Oh, I guess you don’t like seeing people get their feelings hurt or practical jokes. GDWTF

  • I don’t know about anyone else, but I am certainly going to be whatching this commercial whilst eating cool whipped whoopie pies with Whill Wheaton and Whoopie Goldberg. Take that, pseudointellectuals.

  • Rodge screamed when this was read. 0_o

  • The graphics and such that I have seen so far look great but, I for one will not buy a game that is exclusively played online  with no single player mode. After spending $50 + for a game it would suck to say something online and get censored off of their servor. Then you have a very expensive coaster. In my opinion if I purchase a game I also purchase the right to play it, so for them to be able to decide for any reason I can’t, will keep me from buying what looks like a great game.

    • This is super relevant to this television commercial news!

    • So you want to play it singleplayer? Well that is entirely possible and you even get to pause the game by pressing esscape. Yes, you have to be online, but you will not be banned for saying anything while playing singlelpayer. There won’t be anyone to report you. What do you think you will be doing to make them ban you from playing the game exactly?

      • I was wondering why he posts on a d3 fan site if he’s notbuying the game no need to argue he has nothing to Lose or gain nuff said life goes on 

  • The trolls are winning.  :(
