mrllama said that they arent to say anything about the announcement until tomorrow :). Quin even said that theres no announcement today as this is media day.
http://www.ign.com/events/gamescom theres an unannounced title on their schedule guys...heres to hoping its something diablo related. Edit: quin said on stream that there is a diablo showcase tomorrow and he will be livestreaming it
"Mark your calendar for 18:30 CEST on Tuesday, August 16, when we release a special preview video of what we’ll be showcasing at gamescom 2016, including some new game content.
We’ll also have some epic entertainment on the Blizzard stage, and a few surprises in store.
Tuesday they will be announcing what they will be showing at gamescom on their gamescom hub: https://gamescom.blizzard.com/en-gb/ blizz will be showcasing everything on wednesday and thursday. They said that there will be new game content so here's to hoping its something diablo related.
I don't think you realise the workload for a theoretical D4. It's a nice dream, but just that.
Yea true but they were hiring for a new diablo game(game director, concept artist etc.). So yea maybe in a couple years we'll get a d4 announcement but nothing soon. In the meantime d2 hd remake or d3 expansion will probably be revealed(if something diablo related is revealed) at gamescom.
It's cool to speculate man but its all just speculation. If nothing is revealed(i doubt it as blizzard even stated that there will be new game content)then we'll have our hopes crushed i guess. You won't be the only one though so join the crowd :).
Still though something smells fishy about them showcasing an outdated game like diablo 2. If anything IS announced it will most likely be a d2 hd remake where llama showcases it via speed runs. I'd love to have updated interface and auto gold pickup feature for d2 on windows 10...like you stated though its all speculation at this point but we will see on Tuesday. P.S. also note that quin is only streaming diablo 3 for one day...my guess is that he will be streaming the reveal(if there is one mind you)on the following day. After all why would quin only stream for one day when blizz is paying him for this?
Rumor has it that a teaser is coming soon in the form of a picture. Could be about anything. New expansion, D4 nobody knows for sure. But keep a look out for this picture ; )
What rumor? You've got any source for that?
So, I've checked out the site. Some interesting bits:
Quin69 is doing a "Community Stream Season 7 Gameplay & Top 5 tips", so I guess there goes the theory that he was flown to Gamescom because there's an announcement happening.
MrLlama is doing a speedrun of D2, which is a bit interesting. It can either be just an anniversary thing, or a hint at something D2 related, but still... I refuse to get my hopes up.
There's one drawing session for Diablo and other than that - pretty much nothing else, while there's quite a lot of things happening for other Blizzard games. Well, that certainly doesn't suggest a Diablo announcement. If anything, what we can get from the schedule is that should anything get announced at Gamescom, it will be HotS mainly, with possibly some SC II co-op maps.
There is a 1-hour window on the main stay on day 1 - so there could be something, alas - with the general announcement of Gamescom schedule on HotS page, my guess is that they will showcase new heroes and the Arena mode they've talked about last Blizzcon.
ALSO!!! Further evidence that Quin69 going to Gamescom doesn't mean anything:
From "Blizzard at Gamescom 2016" official facebook event:
A couple important things to note here.
1) Blizzard is flying a whole lot of streamers/community figures to Gamescom - from all their major franchises, not just Diablo related.
2) There is no reason to believe that other people listed above don't get their trip payed by Blizzard as well - after all, for a huge company it's not really a big deal to cover those expenses. Especially if these people are going there to basically work for Blizzard, i.e. do streams that will make their Gamescom presence more attractive.
3) There are only 2 Diablo folks being listed there and as far as I'm aware, there hasn't been any fansites/other community figures being sent to Gamescom.
4) When they've announced WoW:Legion, there were already quite a lot of rumors and stuff going around a week before Gamescom. No such thing is happening for Diablo this year.
5) The reason why Quin69 took down his video might be as simple as a) he got asked by Blizzard to take it down, because it was misinformative and generated unfounded hype or he took it down when Blizzard shared the details of what he is going to do at Gamescom and Quin realized his original enthusiasm was unfounded.
Good points. Remember how d3:RoS was announced @ gamescom too though so it could be another xpac or d2 hd remake on the way...we'll see in a couple of days what its gonna be. Tuesday blizzard will be posting a video on their gamescom hub about what they will be presenting @ gamescom: https://gamescom.blizzard.com/en-gb/ so we'll just have to wait to see what it is. Here's to hoping we see something diablo related
Did anyone else pick up on this? At gamescom they will be having diablo 2 speedruns on wednesday and thursday. My guess is that they will be showcasing a d2 remake! You can see the diablo events on the blizzard gamescom page: https://gamescom.blizzard.com/en-gb/ go check it out
Medieval Dragon? I agree any announcement would probably be at Gamescom. I don't see why they would be flying out someone as well known as Quin for no reason. Remember the old days before D3 was even announced? All the rumors, so many rumors ha ha. I remember I sent a scan in of my PCGamer hinting at Diablo 3 in the next issue that year. Good times.
I've heard mention of other streamers, but no one as far as I know has ever said anyone but Quin. Any idea whom else? That link you posted gives me a 404.
My two cents, they are already done with the expansion, that is why so many have left including Leonard. Diablo 3 will be all wrapped up. In my opinion the new game director position is for the next installment. I have a feeling expansion announced at Gamescom, announcement of working on Diablo 4 or maybe even cinematics at Blizzcon.
You'r probably right on the money about a d3 expansion being revealed @ gamescom followed by d4 @ blizzcon. I just hope we won't have to wait to long for the new diablo content.
Ill give you that but ill just go back to playing d2 if there is no announcement. Theres a diablo 2 mod coming for starcraft 2(the alpha starts in august) to play if nothing else so we'll be able to get some satisfaction either way. https://www.facebook.com/thecurseoftristram/?fref=ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-aLHqSs70s
He also said, "if i leak anything blame quin" and "blizz said no talky"...just believe

Reaper of Souls was revealed @ gamescom 2013. Hopefully they will reveal something diablo related this year.
I'm hoping for a reveal of old blizzard games being ported/remade for new OSs and battle.net app. Blizzard already hinted at remaking their old games to be in HD(can you say D2 HD remake). No one knows atm but it would be awesome would it not?: http://news.softpedia.com/news/blizzard-is-making-hd-remakes-for-starcraft-warcraft-iii-and-diablo-ii-495743.shtml
