I wonder if Blizz will really work on 3 projects at the same time...
they do work on over 3 unannounced projects at present (rumored to be around 5).
One is definitely the 2nd WoW expansion (which is rumored but very very possible since in the next patch files there are some textures about Northrend - a new continent in which Arthas is hidden - and also in which the 5th portal to the Emerald Dream is), and the other 2 i'd guess the next Diablo and Starcraft titles. Only time will show though. We got 19 days to find out about the next title. I just hope of something new and not the WoW expansion just yet.
There is a 100% it will be here within the next year, or two.
i'd expect it to be announced within a year and released in 2-3 (as we're pretty much used of Blizzard). 1 year sounds too early. But we'll get it in time
they got different teams for each project. Only team that works on everything is the marketing one. With the income they have from WoW they can buy themselves time to make any other game (at least as long WoW has so many subscribers).
Anyway, on what Moondoggie said: Diablo could make one hell of a MMO if they made it either PvP oriented (Heaven & Hell factions, the human player will have to choose sides) or PvE oriented (Player that works for Heaven against tons of demons etc - since Diablo mainly had us fight against the bad guys). Either way a Diablo MMO has the background to be great and get even more people than WoW has.Too bad it wont come anytime soon, tho.
the reason all Blizzard games have become bestsellers is they never let a game out if its not ready and passes their quality tests. We (the fans) may whine, but when we get a really great game we always forget about the wait time. I personally keep myself busy with other games while Blizzard does the work.
tell me about it took me 1 day to finish the normal difficulty, the first day D2 was released. I've been playing Diablo 2 till April 2005 and waiting for news about Diablo 3 from just after the expansion was released.
Patience is a virtue, they say. When u have to wait for Blizzard, you really need it ^^
Diablo III has a few more years for sure before its released. With the people Blizzard currently recruited for their "unannounced" RPG project it shows theres still alot work to do. Hopefully we'll get some official info about the game soon too.
why 2012? they've been working on it for at least one year already. i'd expect the next Blizzard game (after the WoW expansion) to come out in 1-2 years max.
i wont jump around cheering before i see an official statement from Blizzard. Clues they're prolly working on it we got dozens, i want it official! (2007, come on!)

looks more like it. Marketing-wise at least timing would fit.
