Diablo 3 News Watch
The goal of this thread is to put the rapidly growing amount of news and rumors that are building up around Diablo 3 possibly being announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational.
Re: Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational
Last year Blizzard announced Starcraft 2, this year many rumours are floating around that a Diablo 3 announcement is going to take place.
It would make sense to use this event to announce what millions of fans have been waiting for.
Also, i would like to point out that June 29th is the Diablo 2 release date anniversary. What a perfect day to announce the next Diablo.
Re: Blizzard Job openings
There is a large assortment of job postings for some "Top Secret" game. Many of the postings begin with this "The team behind Diablo I and II is looking for a". It's obvious that they are working on another game, and hopefully the team behind Diablo I and II are working on III lol.
New job postings as of 3/14 - 4/5 of the job listings that day were Diablo related.

More to come...
Like... A giant turtle taking over America and then nuking Mercury?... And giving donuts to all the starving Asian kids?... And painting the sky purple?...
No....Nah...I dont think so
dude i really like how when u click on all theh "top secret" links all start out "from the team that brought you diablo 1 and diablo 2" :D:D:D and its for "next gen mmo" ZOMG I JUST LOADED MY PANTZORZ
I have yet to see anything for the next gen MMO that says its from the diablo team - all the ones I see from the diablo team are non-mmo (looks like diablo 3 is going to be a sequal to d2!)
Yeah. True. It seems like they are separate games.
pants are still loaded... d3 =
Yeah, from the job apps we come to the conclusion:
Diablo III absolutely
MMO is either Diablo MMO or SC MMO - can go either way since they did WC3 then WoW... imo I think its going to be a Diablo MMO, it has more potential I would think. But, a SC MMO would be awesome as well.
I really don't care if it's hack-and-slash or mmo. As long as it's Diablo related and not pay-to-play, I'm down.
Edit: Hey, anyone looking out for job openings that have been taken down?? Not that would it tell us anything... I was just curious.
Haha. I too have about 5 copies of the game lying about. I even have the Diablo I expansion, Hellfire, sitting up on my shelf (though I've only played it once).
Even more jobs posted by Blizzard. One is for the StarCraft II team and the other two seem to be just general job openings.
