Blizzard Entertainment continues to fan the flames of fan anticipation with more information about Diablo III, the action RPG sequel scheduled to arrive May 15. The latest updates include information about a new character profile feature planned for the game's website, a gameplay trailer, and the unveiling of a Starter Edition offering a free limited version of the game.

Character Profiles:

Shortly after the launch of Diablo III, we’ll be adding a new feature to our official site. Profiles will let you review all of your character information at a glance, share it with others, and check out the accomplishments of the other heroes out there.

You’ll be able to look at your heroes (or your friends’ heroes) from any page on the Diablo III site through our personalized menu. If you’re curious about the exploits of your fellow forum posters, it’ll be a simple matter to click over to their profiles and feel envious of their gear or how long they’ve managed to keep their Hardcore characters alive.

Diablo III Starter Edition:

The Starter Edition provides players the ability to try out a limited version of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys allow a player to give friends the opportunity to play the Starter Edition of Diablo III. Guest Pass keys are included in all box copies of Diablo III.

Players on Starter Edition game licenses have the following restrictions:

• Act I up to the Skeleton King is available
  
• Level 13 cap
  
• Matchmaking available only with other Starter Edition players
  
• No Real Money Auction House access
