As we reported on Monday, Sony announced that there would be new and exclusive PlayStation content for Diablo III: Reaper of Souls-Ultimate Evil Edition when it launches on August 19th for both PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4. This content is inspired by two popular titles from the PlayStation universe: The Last of Us and Shadow of the Colossus. Keep reading to get more details and see this new content in action.

Blizzard discussed the new features on a recent blog post and had this to say about the content involving The Last of Us

 Get ready to endure and survive! We’ve teamed up with Naughty Dog to create a unique Nephalem Rift for the Ultimate Evil Edition inspired by the award-winning PlayStation® 3 title, The Last of Us™. Featuring hand-picked environments from the Diablo III universe and an ominous yellow spore effect, this randomized dungeon level (available only on PS3™ or PS4™) is sure to awaken the survivor in us all.

Oh! And did we mention the monsters? The Last of Us™ Nephalem Rift is teeming with a series of ravenous creatures modeled after the infamous Stalker, Clicker, and Bloater infected. 

Blizzard then shared the following information regarding the Shadow of Colossus content

 Raise thy sword by the Light! In addition to The Last of Us™ Nephalem Rift, the Ultimate Evil Edition will also include a PlayStation® exclusive that pays homage to a gaming classic.

Players who choose to join the crusade against death on the PS3™ or PS4™ will be rewarded with the “Guise of the Colossi,” a unique set of transmogrification plans that unlocks six armor appearances inspired by the influential PlayStation®2 title, Shadow of the Colossus™. These striking appearances will be available to each of Sanctuary’s larger than-life classes. 

As a huge fan of not only Diablo III on PC and both of these PlayStation franchises, I personally can’t wait to pick this up in August. Stay tuned for more E3 coverage all week!
