A rep from Blizzard just sent me notice that there would be no more announcements at BlizzCon tomorrow (Saturday), so for those of you (ie: all of you) who were hoping that this would be the day that Diablo 3 was finally confirmed, I'm sorry to inform you that you'll have to continue to wait. We all know that it's eventually coming, but the waiting for the official confirmation of the third game along with some idea of what it will be like is a really hard thing to wait for. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I figured it would be best to tell you about this now rather than have you guys waiting around all day Saturday hoping that we'd hear more about Diablo 3. Thanks for sticking with us though... Blizzard is listening to us and sooner or later (ok, later) Diablo 3 will become a reality.
In other Blizzard-related news, the rep just sent me word that our own Umaro participated in the first-ever Starcraft II tournament with Loc Teinh (from w3roc.com) on his team and won in the first round, but they were unfortunately defeated in round 2 by TeamLiquid. The overall winner of the tournament was TeamLiquid who were then given the opportunity to play Karune and Stephen Chang from the eSports team. TeamLiquid wasn't able to defeat them though. Unfortunately there's no replay video footage from this tournament, but maybe that will change later on.
More news as it becomes available.
Sad Diablo indeed. (thanks to Zabadak for sharing this image with us)
According to wiki, the GC at Leipzig is as big as the Tokyo game show, which also according to wiki is the largest video game expo in the world. In conclusion D3 at Leipzig sounds good to me.
If you guys are feeling that Blizzard has abondoned Diablo, then you are wrong. Many promises were made that Blizzard will continue on all three franchises. Starcraft deserved to have there new installment before Diablo. So maybe the next announcement will be Diablo 3.
I know Diablo 3 will come out some day...it's just that I am starting to get the felling that I might be playing Duke Nukem Forever by the time it comes out.
You guys really need to stop saying BlizzConned. Ya I know we are all bummed by not hearing anything about Diablo...but who said there was supposed to be. I am truely greatful for all that bliz has done. All the games they had made and what we have all enjoyed from we were little.
Paul Sams says that They love that franchise but They are more focus on the Wrath of the Lich king & Starcraft.. We will get back to Diablo eventually..
Nothing special but What you can really get is that They really don't want pop up Diablo with World of Warcraft... maybe i miss understood..

That was kind of strange. Even though he said Diablo was a beloved franchise and they plan on revisiting it, he almost seemed surprised and a little annoyed that he even had to address it. Then it's like as soon as he could, he got back on the topic of the Wrath of the Lich King.

Watch very closely with what Blizzard says about Diablo. They are very short, but at the same time, they give away many answers. Obviously the game will be revisisted, and they are remaining tight-lipped about it - a good indication it is in production and they don't want to slip and spill the beans. That's why they avoid other questions so quickly.

The leftside one. Around 7~9min. The question was "What's going on with Diablo ?"
