Now that Diablo III finally has a release date, Blizzard has begun posting some fresh details about the different classes in the role-playing dungeon crawler, beginning with the mysterious Demon Hunter.

Diablo III is eagerly awaited by millions of fans from all over the world, promising to deliver a brand new experience that continues the story of the series and introduces all sorts of elements to the dungeon crawling genre.

We already know all of its different character classes and even tried them out during the beta stage.

Now, in order to raise the hype surrounding Diablo III, Blizzard has begun offering new details about each class.

The first to get new information is the Demon Hunter, whose page on the Diablo III website has been updated with new details and even a fresh video showcasing the history of the class and gameplay with it.

“The demon hunters. Vengeful harbingers of righteous doom who bring swift judgment and death to the hellish creatures daring enough to trespass on the mortal lands of Sanctuary. Skilled archers, assassins, and trackers, demon hunters are perfectly honed instruments set to scour demons from the world. The fact that every last one of them has a deep and personal motivation to do so only sharpens their deadly purpose,” Blizzard said about the new class.

Those who prefer to defeat enemies from afar will feel right at home with the Demon Hunters, as they specialize in wielding both long range weapons, like crossbows, but also objects that require up close interaction, like daggers, which show off their dexterity.

“Very little is known about the secret society of demon hunters. While not native to the region, this elusive cadre of warriors has chosen to root its forces amidst the ruins of a forgotten city located in the Dreadlands. Apprentices come from every corner of the land, all bearing the scars of demonic attack—all seething with hatred for the hellspawn that left their twisted mark. The recruiters know that only those with a personal vendetta will be driven enough to complete the harsh training required to stand as a true demon hunter.”
