Biggest Diablo 3 Information Yet!
Today our partner site(www.wcradio.com) and a few others(www.blizzplanet.com, www.wowirc.com) hosted a Q&A with Richard A. Knaak, writer of the new book that takes place in the Diablo Universe, Diablo: The Sin War, Book One: Birthright. There are a couple questions relating to Diablo 3 and I think you will be very happy to hear the answers.
"The Sin War trilogy, written by New York Times bestselling author Richard A. Knaak, lays out the basic foundation for the lore of the Diablo universe."
Here are some questions from the interview.
Q - Rathi: Any ifnormation on Diablo3? Have you been asked to write a further story?
A - Knaak: What happens in the Sin War is significant, as I mentioned, toward the future. I know that Blizzard is very eager to make Diablo fans happy.
Q - Medievaldragon: Hope I am not spoiling much at this point, however I really have to ask. Blizzard introduced a new Pandemonium Event monster named Lilith (Act V) in Diablo II Patch 1.11. You can read about her at: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/monsters/act5-lilith.shtml
A - Knaak: Answer for Medievaldragon: She is, I believe, although she will look a little different by the game's point. Her part in the trilogy is major.
Q - Medievaldragon: How much of the book is creation of yours, and how involved is Chris Metzen behind the canon storyline of Diablo: The Sin War Trilogy? Do you think the ramifications of this book impact in the storyline of Diablo 3 the game?
A - Knaak: This is a pure collaboration between myself and Chris/Blizzard. All that is written is passed by him and the others there. This will be canon and has adjusted earlier info. The ramifications here will be used for any future project...and I ain't writing for a dead game.
Q - Deathshade|EU: So... Diablo 3?
A - Knaak: I am not writing for a dead world...but a world with dead. nuff said

:confused: Well actually if they release them all at once then ppl will get the game they like most, but if they release them at a time then the ppl will buy all the games (probably), noy just 1:)
it pops up along with halo 3 and alot of new games
ign came out and said it was a mistake, i buy that
but the fact that diablo 3 shows up in bold letters makes me question that
And seriously, what would stop any repoter from relaying legit D3 info?
LOL jk. Man sounds like you just shot my dreams in oblivion.
Perhaps it was a publicity stunt... and the turnout wasn't what Blizzard was expecting [,so they pull the plug]. Ever since we found the trademark for another Diablo title, nothing, IMHO, based on rumors should be completely shot down/ ignored. Video game development is a serious business. When will "The Burning Crusade" be released? Is it already out?
I would think that there is to be some time between the two releases.
