Maybe they'll start a 2 week count down, that turns out to be nothing Diablo3 related. That would surely draw some attention and drive up revenue for their site.
The Magazine said they would not be annoucing diablo3, it on the other hand did not say they wouldnt be announcing anything diablo related, An mmo perhaps?
K guys ive been coming here for a while and finally decided to throw my 2 cents in.
for years Blizzard has been posting for jobs and they all say
Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a lead 3D environment (notice for the makers of D1 and D2 not the Amazingly award winning WoW)
also for quite some time maby 6 months or more they have had under development an "unnamed MMO" labled top secret. so at WWI there will prob be a new MMO announced, to say its Diablo related would be a very good speculation since they keep looking for jobs for Blizz north(i think thats the one that made diablo) even if it does not get announced at WWI a diablo related game is some time gonna eb on its way.
also there always stating that they cannot make a 3rd diablo because the game basically ended in the expansion right.....if they make an MMO then they can make it like WoW because wow takes place through all of the warcraft its not a totally new story
also sorry for badd grammar and spelling ...im tired
EDIT: Also i remember reading a while back when Lich King was announced that they had Certain ammount of people working with WoW Stuff, another amount on Starcraft 2 stuff and another amount on UNamed top secret game(i forget the numbers)

Wow (no pun intended) they have 200 people working on World of Lamecraft? That's altogether right, not just Lich King.
Quote from "Pinkzeppelin" »
So a devil is going to be on the cover? It might not be Diablo, but with so many references to "hell," it's pretty obvious it is a game based in Hell.
Wouldn't it suck if its that dude that plays the Devil on that CW show "Reaper"

It appears this is a convo with an unarmed Blizzard rep whom Mats used a bit of social engineering on to spill the beans...
I think for the time being this can be categorized as hearsay and is not refutable until investigated further perhaps by MD. Also, I cannot determine when this convo took place although it is dated May 5th 2008. Perhaps Mats himself can shed a little more light on this...
1. Pc Gamer claimed that it's going to be a game from a legendary developer.
Let's have a look at legendary game developers.
- Blizzard
- 3D Realms
- Valve
- Bioware
- Interplay Entertainment
- Id Software
2. The Pc Gamer Staff wanted to 'dance the pee-pee' dance. You don't have this kind of feeling unless something really exciting is coming up. IMO, it will be either be a continuation of a game that has left a mark on you even a few years later after playing it. One game comes to mind - Diablo 2 or some new game that will revolutionise the Pc Gaming industry and slap all competing game developers in the face.
3. Why would magazines such as PC Gamer / Pc Action claim :" We don't have the right to discuss it or deny it" ? Magazines generally do not have to ask permission from a game developer to publish news on an upcoming game.
Most probably they have been in contact with the game developer who has restricted them to publish any news.
4. It cannot be the next-gen MMO since Blizzard has already announced it publicly. You cannot restrict what has been already known by people.
5. The copyrighting actions of Blizzard to buy diablo3.com...
Were they asleep or something before 2008 ?
My predictions:
Diablo 3
Baldur's Gate 3
Doom 4
An interesting thread sprang up on website RPGCodex recently. A guy with the forum-handle Achilleas has claimed that in the next article of PC Gamer UK, there is an article about the production of the Baldur's Gate 3. There wasn't too many details revealed, but here is an excerpt from 'Achilleas': "I'll probably get into trouble for telling you this, but hey, I just can't resist. Baldur's Gate III is in the works. I can't really say much more, but a few details to guide your speculation: it's not being done by BioWare, and you won't be playing it for at least two years. You shouldn't expect anything classically isometric either, as it's being made by a company that believes in pushing technology forward."
The last Baldur's Gate, a popular PC RPG set in the Dudgeon's & Dragons universe, came out in 2000.
excerpt from abovementioned crysis announcement.
