BlizzCon 2008 Diablo Panels Revealed

The official BlizzCon 2008 website has been launched revealing some of the Diablo III panels to be showcased by Blizzard developers at the event. Based on the description of the Class Design it is certain they plan to unveil more classes besides the Barbarian and the Witch Doctor.

One of the highlights of any BlizzCon is the opportunity to sit down with Blizzard Entertainment developers to discuss new game features and delve into the development process behind your favorite games. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the developer panels we’ll be hosting at BlizzCon 2008. Check back in the weeks ahead as we add more panels to the list.

Diablo III Class Design
You’ve witnessed the raw physical power of the barbarian and the terrifying alchemy and diseases of the witch doctor. Now you can learn more about these heroes -- and see if any other champions emerge to defend the mortal world.

Diablo III Game Design
Get a detailed look at the design and development process behind the visceral gameplay of Diablo III. We’ll explore the influence previous Diablo games have had, as well as the new and exciting features the upcoming sequel has to offer.

Diablo III – Lore and Art
From lore to spell effects, from creature design to quests -- sit down with our writers and artists as they discuss the creative process of building Diablo III’s rich world of Sanctuary.

Tickets for BlizzCon 2008 go on sale August 11th. Read more about BlizzCon 2008 at http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon.

Thanks, waddlez (some cuddles & Kudos)

Agree... even though this will start a nuclear chain of events, the shoulder pads in the picture are way to big lol.

blizzard has found their style, if you don't like it, there are other companies with different styles

hyper realism is overdone

it didn't stop crysis from being a horrible game

it won't make diablo 3 better

as I have said, people were mad because valve did tf2 as 'the incredibles' style, people QQd then saw what a fantastic game it was and how they put humor into it

not saying blizzard can do what valve does (have my babies gabe) but blizzard wants their own style, who the fk are you to tell them they shouldn't?

lol Tyrael looks terrible, what a awful piece of artwork, once again Blizzards shoulder pads make for a character that looks like he has no neck, looks goofy and physically impractical and malformed.

Sweeet; looking forward to some new info finally. The D3 coverage in PC gamer didn't offer anything new...so looks like a wait until october then. I have to day though that I don't really like the artwork they did for tyreal in the picture...oh well.

Lol you all think that the biggest surprise from Blizzcon will be about D3 but obviously it's going to be about SC2, why do you think Zeratul looks so much cooler than Tyrael

because the artist who made this probably is a sc2 artist

they didn't take 3 artists and tell them to draw their respective character

here is some tyrael from a d3 artist
