"Fans are going to lose theif shit next year" from 2015 and "you have no idea (how excited I am)" from 2018 comments are pretty much alike. While in 2016 we saw only Necro which makes me think if some of these projects have been done since 2015.
Frank Dux: If you press 4 at the start of the video it takes you straight to 0:26 which is the future announcement. Diablo 4 Confirmed.
Are you sure its the classic one? Seems darker than the original?
Also the claw marks seem longer than what I'm able to find with google. Don't know. I would thought a new D3 logo would have significantly different colors than previous 2. Something like those gift laptops do have.
D3 released in China in 2015. It's only 3 years old there. Wonder if that affects anything any way.
Also, Blizzard is known to want to keep low end computers along - so what D4 would look like? Only thing improving would be almost photorealistic graphics. If they choose cartoonish graphics instead of D3 artistic graphics, I'm going to cry.
Gamescom 2018, Blizzard will be there with 3 big halls. The CEO of Gamescom did mention that there will be alot of world premieres on the Opening Ceremony of the convention. Maybe, just maybe, we will see something. So there is 2 weeks left of waiting for Gamescom, hope to see something there.
In this day and age, it seems facts do not matter. It's just what you want to believe in. Inuendo90, I am looking at you. The following is Blizzard's link to all the job listings for their Unannounced Project -- basically every listing states Diablo by name...
This is real, folks. No, Blizzard does not come out and say, "Hey, we're working on D4." But, it's not some smalltime Druid add-on when you're talking about a Creative Director and Executive Producer being sought after.
While you are most likely correct, all this doesn't rule out they're working with a completely new direction for Diablo franchise and at the same time, D3 expansion. If they are heading into a new direction, they might want to ease the pain with D3 content and story conclusion.

These are the results of Diablo's forum communities: battle.net, diablofans, reddit diablo & diablo3 so the results could be different if asked from all playerbase.
Majority, 55 % of player base believes in D4. 27 % of player base believes that D3 will get more content and 18% believes Diablo franchise will aim to new direction.
Didn't inculed Switch or mobile because while they are possible, Blizzard is unlikely to forget other platforms with new Diablo.
D2 remastered was not included as I was asking more of new Diablo announcements.
- No need for complete rebuilding of everything and reinventing classes
- Even a graphics engine upgrade makes the game very beautiful
- Development time can be used for adding things and improving the current game
What indicates D4:
- All the job postings
- Time passed so much from RoS
What indicates D3 X2:
- Exactly same hype style as in previous D3 releases: "Book of -"
- Even after all this silence the brand new Diablo gift laptops are D3 related, not only Diablo overall as one could think so close for D4 announcement.
- D4 announcement too early after some closely closed major job postings.
All taken in consideration, I can't rule out D3X2. Most voters probably also vote what they wish for, not what they believe in.

I noticed that too but isn't it the traditional D3 logo? At one frame it can be almost fully seen. Not sure tho.
You might be right but there can also be D3 related content before D4.

I want three things that are missing from D3:
- Hunt for runewords
- endgame challenge outside greater rifts
- campaign playable at endgame
Let the hype begin.

It's funny how throughout the Diablo community, some are 100% sure it will be D4 and some 100% sure it will be D3X2.
I don't think there's enough proofs to rule out either.
Let's see:
Why D4?
- Marketing wise easier
- Too much time from a RoS
- No need to work on D3 problems
Why D3 X2?
- No need for complete rebuilding of everything and reinventing classes
- Even a graphics engine upgrade makes the game very beautiful
- Development time can be used for adding things and improving the current game
What indicates D4:
- All the job postings
- Time passed so much from RoS

- Even after all this silence the brand new Diablo gift laptops are D3 related, not only Diablo overall as one could think so close for D4 announcement.
