Blizzard always seems to get into the April Fool's Day spirit and the 2009 edition is proving to be no exception. The official web site for their long awaited action-RPG sequel Diablo III "reveals" an all new playable class for the game: The librarian . . . er, make that the Archivist.

The page goes into detail about the new class, complete with gameplay footage via Flash-based movies moving showing the libr . . . er, Archivist doing his thing against enemies with spells like Shush and the Quest Bolt. Screenshots show other abilities such as "Book Vision" and the character's Radial Dialogue Tree. It's not the best character in the world but I'm sure we could work with it if Blizzard decides to make this joke a reality.
