By Adam Cook Have you been a part of the Xbox One preview program, and experienced the multitude of dash-updates thanks to that new experience?

Would it be on consoles and would it be free to play? We now know the answer to both and it is a yes and no. It was announced yesterday at BlizzCon that the game would indeed be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 Via Polygon, game director Jeff Kaplan said it was always the plan for[...]

The game isn't going to feature its campaign in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions, instead deciding to forgo it and just package in the multiplayer.
