Diablo IV will release on Steam October 17, the same day the game's second season, Season of Blood, arrives on all platforms. The Steam page is now live.

Those who purchase the game on Steam will still need to set up a Battle.net account if they don't already have one in order to play. This enables cross-platform play between those playing via Battle.net as well as on consoles. Diablo IV on Steam will support Achievements as well as the ability to invite Steam friends to play using the Steam friends list.

"Diablo IV is a game about slaying nightmarish creatures and acquiring powerful gear, but also about forging memories with new and old friends," Blizzard writes in a blog announcing the game's Steam launch. "We want to break down barriers to make it easier for wanderers everywhere to defend Sanctuary."
