Is there PvP in Diablo 3? How does it work?

Question

From my very limited experience during the open beta weekend I couldn't figure out a way to attack other players during the beta campaign. Is this possible in the release or will multiplayer only reflect on trading and co-operative games?

Answer

PvP will not be available immediately; Blizzard has said this will be coming in a later patch so they can get the game out to us hungry people sooner.

Diablo III PvP Update

As we're counting down the days until we're ready to announce a release date for Diablo III, we've come to realize that the PvP game and systems aren't yet living up to our standards. Today, we wanted to let you know that we've made the difficult decision to hold back the PvP Arena system and release it in a patch following the game's launch.

As for how it will look when done:

When the PvP patch is ultimately ready, it will add multiple Arena maps with themed locations and layouts, PvP-centric achievements, and a matchmaking system that will help you and your team get into fairly matched games quickly and easily.
