Diablo III confirmed ?

tang0 · 25 Jun 2008 at 22:28

As gamers around the world have noticed, there has been a lot of "high quality rumours" running around on what game Blizzard will announce at WWI this year, reported on numerous sites, as well as N4G as well. Many are "sure" about Diablo 3, and most voices saying that a StarCraft MMO or new IP will come have been squelched.

The Blizzard splash image has also sent fans rampant with speculation on what it can mean, with vocal voices from all three of Blizzard's IPs. Everything from the WoW movie, Lich King-related, StarCraft or Diablo.

Diabloii.net, a 10 year running Diablo fansite, which (at least used to) have contacts inside Blizzard have now proclaimed that it IS indeed Diablo 3 that will be announced at WWI, and are taking questions from fans who would like them answered this weekend.

i know that they making starcraft mmo as they said it them selfs so it is probably going to be it.

they also probably will tell when starcfart 2 coming out.

im not sure they may announce that they will work on diablo 3 but i dont think they started yet so if they do it will take 2 years.

but still any news from blizzard are great as they make good games

They did?
They will?
How would you know?

Sounds like your confused between assumptions and facts.

there was some job postings a few months back that gaming news sites picked up on where blizzard was recruiting for a 'next gen mmo' but they never said what the mmo was

world of diablo

I sincerely hope it's a new iteration of Diablo... I want the same forumula as before though; albeit with better graphics, more levels, more combat involvement.

Are there any of the original Diablo team left at Blizzard ? I though a lot of them left and made Hellgate : London.

lopkinfop · 26 Jun 2008 at 08:55

i really hope it wont be an MMO, although a good multiplayer is always a plus especially in diablo

Hedge · 26 Jun 2008 at 09:39

tuftyfella · 26 Jun 2008 at 10:34

been waiting soooooo long! this rumour better not dissapoint!

saint_jw · 26 Jun 2008 at 11:38

There's more than a few contradicting rumours about this, some saying the runes you can see on the shattering ice are from Frostmourn, the Lich King's sword. I wouldn't pin your hopes on Diablo III just yet.
