an interview with blizz president Mike Morhaime

"We have a number of other projects in the works. We can’t talk about them yet. They haven’t been announced."

I hope D3 isn't like spore, which was set to have been released this year, but got pushed back a whole year. I think I would die if they told me diablo 3 was coming in december but then pushes it off for another year...what a tease it would be.

Well you should expect that to happen, blizzard hasnt yet grasped the concept of an offical release date.

Blizzard is aware they suck with official release dates, so they give release "windows" to form a generalized release time.

D3 will deffinitely not be coming out this year. since they are still hiring for it (or that is what we have gathered from their want ads) and since it will have to be a really kickass game (or Diablo fans will beat down Blizzard's doors) i expect we won't see it untill possibly Christmas 2007, but very likely early 2008.

That means I will be hooked on spore before diablo 3 comes out...thats gonna suck, I have to choose between two very awesome games.

some of those job ops are 1 year old. I wouldnt expect it too soon, though. All i expect is for them to announce they're working on it. And that could happen soon (right after release of the WoW expansion - that will keep me busy till Diablo 3 comes).

dont expect it that early. Blizzard takes their time before releasing a game. Quality tests, more quality tests, more quality tests, alpha, beta tests and then we get to have a glimpse on it and 4-5 months after the beta it might come out. thats the Blizzard way

yeah the blizzars way kinda sux but at least the games are always good except for WoW which i strongly dislike

it would suck if the games sucked. I really prefer it that way. Better late and great than fast and crappy.

yep thats the way life is so we gotta get used to it^^

kinda curious how Hellgate London's gonna be. From the previews i've read it looks like a nice game with many Diablo aspects in it. Will definitely try it when its released. After all most of the developers are ex-Blizzard, so they know what they're doing!

yeah i think most of us are gonna at least try it but i dont know how many will actually like it but i'm hoping that it will be cool^^

blizzard employs 400+ people to work on games... i didnt think it was that much 200 at the most

ya, hellgate london might be good... ok it will be good lol

lol i sure hope you're right darkjay

Hironobu Sakagushi is not even with Square-Enix and it doesn't stop the company from making new Final Fantasy... Then again, ever since he left they made FFX-2, FF11 online and Final Fantasy 7 Compilation Crap... so... yeah :\

There will be a Diablo 3; the question is, will it be the same quality as D2...
