BlizzCon 2008 has open their doors at the Anaheim Convention Center and at least one major bit of news concerning Blizzard's upcoming action-RPG Diablo III has been revealed; the third playable class called The Wizard. The first word of the new class comes from our sister site Joystiq.

The Wizard's description? "A wielder of the elements and a master manipulator of time, the wizard can hurl environment-shattering lightning bolts, channel explosive arcane energies, and create pockets of space outside the normal temporal flow." It joins the previously announced Witch Doctor and Barbarian classes with two more still to be revealed (although a photo of a game screen at Joystiq shows the visuals of all three classes). Stay tuned as our own BlizzCon team plans to post up their own impressions of Diablo III this weekend from the event.
