Could it be? Diablo III?

With the success of World of Warcraft and all the previous Blizzard games, it’s safe to say the company is not hurting on money. StarCraft II will be released some time late this year or early next year and there’s no doubt that it too will dominate any game in the genre that crosses its path. But what’s next for Blizzard? Diablo III perhaps?

The team behind both Diablo I and II is looking for new blood. The position of Lead 3D Level Designer needs to be filled by someone who can “model interesting architecture and environments in 3D” and “script interesting cinematic sequences using in-game art.”

With a franchise like Diablo, would Blizzard hand the development of DIII to anyone but its original creators? Probably not. So saying whoever fills this position will be working on the next Diablo game isn’t that far of a reach.

There are millions of gamers praying for this so it’s almost inevitable that this game will be made sooner or later. We just have to be patient. We’ve been waiting 7 years so what’s a little longer huh? After all, StarCraft II was announced 10 years after the original was released. Either way, it will surely make Blizzard enough money to give every person in the world a dollar.

      Yeah, this is probably one of the worst kept secrets in gaming at the moment. No series as popular as Diablo fails to churn out additional games when the public yearns for them. I really wish they would just confirm that they’re working on it so we can start speculating on whether they’ll ruin it or not, haha.

      i know >.<! i really just hope they keep it like the other 2 ya know, and not turn it into a MMO. We all heard about the rumors of world of starcraft. my only beef with them bringing it out is, will it live up to our expectations? have we yearned for the game so long, anything more than perfection would be blasphemy

      I still hold hopes that the Diablo III announcement will come soon, at the Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational. What kind of a game it will be, though, I wonder about; I doubt Vivendi would let Blizz pass up the chance to make a 2nd constant cash cow MMO, but it would certainly hook the people who don’t like WoW’s “cartoony” graphics. Imagine a darker version of WoW, with gore, blood, nudity… oh boy. How many people would WoW lose to D3? Does it matter, if they’re still paying Blizzard?

      :sigh:

      If only they’d just make all games free to play. /sarcasm
