Description
During the London launch event for the World of Warcraft expansion; The Burning Crusade, a high ranking Blizzard exec hinted at sequels for two of the developer's most prized franchises.
Speaking to crowds in London, Itzik Ben Bassat said, ...as a Starcraft player I can tell you that I hope it wouldn't go a decade - we launched Starcraft in '98 - I hope it wouldn't go a decade before we stand here and celebrate the next Starcraft together. He didn't stop there, as he also added, We haven't forgotten that we have these two franchises, and what I can tell you is that I look forward to stand here in a few years, or whenever it's going to be, and celebrate with you the launch of the next Starcraft or the next Diablo.
So, the simple interpretation of these comments suggests that Blizzard is well under way in developing Diablo and Starcraft games. Things can't be so simple however, as Blizzard is well known for being secretive and protective of its projects. If Bassat did not just get carried away by the moment and his comments have some basis we are certain that Blizzard will be upset with its executive; if, on the other hand, these comments are mere speculation then Blizzard should again be disturbed as hopes have been raised and fans will be disappointed.
As it is unlikely that Blizzard will wish to waste two franchises as successful as Diablo and Starcraft, we expect that there must be some truth to Mr. Bassat's comments, we are just not quite sure why those comments were made as Blizzard is not in the habit of releasing information about its, under development, projects.

Well a friend of mine claims to have a demo of sorts of diablo3. What he claims is that one of the new characters will include a 'gunner' and new acts will continue on from 1-5. Meaning you can go back to the original acts, but the final bosses wont be there. There will be a continuation to at least 2 more acts, which is as far as what he claims to have goes, and in the next acts, it will be more of a Heaven and Hell look about them.
I have no proof of this actually being truth or rumor, but one thing of it does make semi-sense. That is what the new acts theme would be, Heaven and Hell. This is because through the storyline, a heaven and a hell are mentioned. Im mainly focusing on the hell part tho due to the fact that the prime evils were exiled out of hell. This showing that there must be a higher power of sorts to accomplish such a feat.
Well i suggest that u visit him and see if it's true or just an ordinary joke for example guns in diablo 3..
I think ur m8 is playing wow and not d3 it could be possible
