http://www.factornews.com/news-22915-Exclu_Diablo_3_les_premieres_infos.html?page=2 I know it's in french but it basicly says that a source very close to the project confirmed that they had been working on Diablo 3 for a while now and that it's actually in a pretty advanced stage. Apparently it's not going to be an MMO and like Starcraft 2 will use the battlenet system. Battlenet will have a makeover to version 2.0. I have no idea how reliable that is but I found it on Clubic.com which is a very respected tech news website

Here's a bit of a cleaned up version; hopefully nothing was mistranslated.
One of our reporters has gone fishing for information on Diablo 3. A well-informed source has told him many cool things about the future of a huge Blizzard game whose development is already well under way. First, and this is not really a surprise, the game will be done in true 3D. If the graphics are as successful as Starcraft 2, it will be awesome.
The game will not be an MMO, but a classic hack'n slash. Battle.net will be completely renovated and will support Starcraft 2 as well. A new class which is kind of an evil sorcerer who can invoke control over insects and detonate them remotely - a bit like the Necro from Diablo 2, who walked around with his hordes of summoned creatures will be added.. We can't wait for the first images and a nice cinematic to come out.

Our small finger went to fishing to information on Diablo 3. A quite well informed source learned to him full with sympathetic things on the future bomb with Blizzard whose development is already quite advanced. First of all and it is not really a surprise, the play will be into true 3d. If the artistic job is as successful as with Starcraft 2, one will take full the mince-pies of them. The play will not be a MMO but well a traditional hack' N slash. Battle.net will be always of the part in a completely renovated version. This Battle.net 2.0 will also be useful for Starcraft 2. Among the new classes of character, one among it is a kind of wizard diabolic who can call upon insects, to control them and explode them remotely, a little as Nécro de Diablo II which always walked with its processions of dirty animals. Highly first images and a kinematic owl to accompany the whole!
From what I can see it is a gaming website. And remembering what Umaro said about a "huge announcement" im going to put two and two together here and say that we might finally get what we've been waiting for.
Sadly, this game website could be faulty of some sort. And if so, then they could possibly be making it up to go along with what you're trying to put together, to trick us. Thats a sad possibilty, but I hope that this is true. I just can't wait to start playing a third Diablo game.

Well wrath of the lick king and starcraft 2 were leaked before the announcement. But they were leaked like only a few days before. We're still really far away from the end of june
lets not forget that any "leak" that had specifics on classes, mmo v. hack n slash, bosses, storylines, etc. have all been proven false. So, lets not get into a huge thing here over what this site said.
However, there is no reason that a man as respected by the D3 fan community as Umaro would lie about something "big" comming in the next couple months.
I'm just gonna do what i usually do...wait and see if something pans out.
But don't get me wrong, there's a guy in the back of my head right now screaming "HELL YES, D3!!!!!!!!!!!"
But it seems like every year, once spring hits, rumors about a D3 announcement start flying like shit at a monkey exhibit.

Does anyone have any idea how credible this site is?!?
Fuck you, I'm a dragon.

But if this site is credible, then I am even more pumped than before.
