Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls, the upcoming expansion for Blizzard's popular online role-playing game, will get midnight launches on March 24 in different cities around the world, with the first two being London and Bucharest.

Diablo 3 came out for PC and Mac back in 2012 and delivered a great dungeon crawling RPG experience that, while not satisfying all fans of the series, certainly offered them a lot of content, especially when you factor in post-launch features like the Paragon System.

Now, the first proper expansion, Reaper of Souls, is set to be released on March 25 worldwide for PC and Mac.

As with most big releases, Blizzard will host several midnight launches around the world.

So far, however, it's confirmed two different events in Europe. London inhabitants will be able to meet up with the Blizzard Europe Community team at the Meltdown bar, according to a Twitter announcement.

Meanwhile, Bucharest gamers can go to the Media Galaxy store in Orhideea shopping center for a special midnight launch event that kicks off at 11pm at night, via Facebook. Here, participants will be in for quite a few surprises and quizzes with different swag up for grabs, such as Standard and Collector's Editions of the game, plus posters, t-shirts, and more.

All those who buy at midnight a Standard edition of Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls at participating Media Galaxy stores will get a free poster and those who buy the Collector's Edition will receive a t-shirt.
