Diablo III releasing on PlayStation Plus would be the perfect method for the game to reach a new audience before a brand-new entry or spin-off.In fact Fate is the precursor to Torchlight actually. Diablo III in particular is of interest as its developer Blizzard has confirmed they were working on multiple Diablo projects. Nioh and Diablo III: Eternal Collection are both at the right age and price point that it would reasonable for them to get the PlayStation Plus treatment. Recent months of PlayStation Plus have seen the release of access to Heavy Rain, Mafia III and XCOM 2. Though PlayStation Plus has given away more smaller titles by independent developers than those from Triple A studios in the past, the tide is shifting towards more mainstream titles. There’s also a great deal of plausibility to PlayStation Plus' October 2018 games being Diablo III and Nioh. It’s not unheard of for PlayStation Plus’ (or its rival Xbox’s Games with Gold) games to leak ahead of time.

PlayStation Plus titles typically aren’t announced until a week, if not a couple days, prior to when the month begins. The official announcement is likely a way off too. There’s no verification or confirmation to be had from Sony or any other sources. ( Nioh is not the upcoming Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice or Ghost of Tsushima, despite the similar descriptors.) Nioh, meanwhile, is a PlayStation 4 exclusive developed by Team Ninja which uses Dark Souls-like gameplay in a samurai setting. It bundles together the game’s expansion Reaper of Souls as well as the Necromancer pack which adds the Necromancer class as a playable character. Diablo III: Eternal Collection is a console exclusive edition of the 2013 dungeon crawler. The Nerd Magis reporting that certain PlayStation Plus users have spotted Diablo III: Eternal Collection and Nioh as the two free games for the month on the PS Store.

For September 2018, Sony really went above and beyond for subscribers and allowed access to Destiny 2 and the remastered version of God of War 3 on PlayStation 4. The price and quality of the PlayStation Plus games tends to vary.
