I've been pretty consistent with my stance on this. I believe that yes, you may fight Diablo again, but it may never take place in Sanctuary. Diablo and the other Prime Evils may never return to Sanctuary.
So unless the game were a prequel, there's no way as far as I'm concerned.
You need Diablo, that's like a Zelda game w/o Ganondorf/Ganon.
Ah, but why couldn't you have a Zelda game without Gano/Gan whatever? What is truly so special about that character? As is the question with Diablo. Why can't there be an interesting Diablo game without Diablo himself? I personally believe there can be as there are so many other interesting aspects of the Diablo universe we've yet to explore.

I just realized your avatar is a fish with a parasite in its mouth, and that is disgusting. Also, I agree with you.
I havent read any other posts so I don't know if I'm repeating anyone with this, but:
If it is a whole new villain/diablo doesn't come back, then.. it's not diablo. Think about it though.. you kill him, where's he gunna go? Become non existant? If that were the case why wouldn't god just blink him out of existance himself? Because the world needs evil. Thus, the diablo franchise could just never end.

With the Worldstone destroyed, its all up in the air.
Ok lets start this off by stating that to our current knowledge the worldstone was the object that kept the bounds between heaven and hell seperate with that of sanctuary, with that gone nothing stands to keep a flood from pouring into sanctuary.
Second issue, the soulstones being destroyed does not mean the prime evils are destroyed, you can't totaly kill them. They are simply put back into hell free to reform, which takes around 100 years to gain all their powers back. They would then be free to pop through the worldstone and once again lay siege to sanctuary... unless they take option b which is much the same as how we have diablo clone and the ubers.

If you ever meet a hafling and a hungry dragon you dont have to outrun the dragon, you only have to outrun the hafling.
It's like saying: "I ate my food, it's not possible for it to come back."
No it's not. You're never ever eating the same sandwich again, only one which looks very similar. But it's not the same one.

Because God doesn't exist in Sanctuary.

Well, evil comes from men, therefore, there will always be something for Diablo to live off.
Not in Sanctuary it doesn't. Well, evil might, but Hell doesn't.

Where did you get that from? I don't remember seeing that anywhere.
PlugY for Diablo II allows you to reset skills and stats, transfer items between characters in singleplayer, obtain all ladder runewords and do all Uberquests while offline. It is the only way to do all of the above. Please use it.

ever heard of a game called Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask or The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap?
Personally, yeh Diablo will appear in another game, but will that game be a prequel? sequel? or a spin off? that is the question.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
From what I understand, humans are still alive after D2 LOD. Therefore, evil is alive because evil is from humans.
Sanctuary is the world on which the Diablo series take place. And Evil cannot reasonably stem from humans, because Hell existed prior to Sanctuary. In fact, human are a combination of angels and demons.
And Hell still exists even though the Prime Evils do not (or appear to).

Evil is ALL humans. The rest is religious balderdash.
??? Why? What for? How? And why is it connected to Sanctuary?
? Well, if they are, evil can sure stem from them.
Evil is not a creature. Evil is human emotion.
I mean vomiting.
Wrong. Evil is a character trait.
