Diablo 3 Female Monk Revealed

Blizzard has revealed the female form of Diablo 3's monk class and her fists of fury with concept art and a character render over on the PC action RPG's official website.

Left, all geared-up. Right, in need of a few thousand Baal runs.

Unlike its predecessors which pegged classes to one sex or the other, Diablo 3 will offer male and female forms of all character classes. Except the archivist, probably.

This reveal and the recent batch of new screenshots are a little cruel, considering all we know about Diablo 3's eventual release is that it won't be any time this year. Blizzard might know it announces its games too early but that certainly won't stop its teasing.

Is it just me or do these graphics look close to 3-4 years old already?

For example Crysis has already been out for two years already and they're vastly superior to this. Developers usually use pre-rendered high res pictures for advertising too, which doesn't say a whole lot more.

The same thing goes for SC2.

A Xbox 360 release of this game would be sweet, but I have a feeling the 360 couldn't handle this game unless it got a substantial graphics hit in the port-over. Oh well, one can dream right?

This concept art will be positively nostalgic by the time the game is released in 2015.
