Diablo 3 News Watch
The goal of this thread is to put the rapidly growing amount of news and rumors that are building up around Diablo 3 possibly being announced at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational.
Re: Blizzard's Worldwide Invitational
Last year Blizzard announced Starcraft 2, this year many rumours are floating around that a Diablo 3 announcement is going to take place.
It would make sense to use this event to announce what millions of fans have been waiting for.
Also, i would like to point out that June 29th is the Diablo 2 release date anniversary. What a perfect day to announce the next Diablo.
Re: Blizzard Job openings
There is a large assortment of job postings for some "Top Secret" game. Many of the postings begin with this "The team behind Diablo I and II is looking for a". It's obvious that they are working on another game, and hopefully the team behind Diablo I and II are working on III lol.

More to come...
lol, this is what i hope they do.
blizzard president-"we are sorry to inform that blizzard will not be making anymore games for the title. diablo."
i would be so happy.
(for those of you who didnt get that its april fools and that would mean they would be making diablo)
Obviously nothing
Jk, jk...
Thats not bad, but I want to be watching it live.
And if they don't make a Diablo 3, maybe we could all just become awesome programmers and make our own
Call it... Mephisto 3? Dx
I think that Big Red Guy 3 is better suiting...
i think if you call it sanctuary it would be better. but you cant have anything relating to diablo lore i think. like instead of diablo you could call him D. mephisto M. and baal B. i think you could get away with the chars becasue the resemble there names. like barbarian is a warrior who likes to destroy stuff. necromancer a sorcerer who has ties into the undead world. etc. etc.
I like, but too many noobs would think it's a WoW thing...
I purchased Diablo II and LOD by December 2004 to write up the lore in the website. I did enjoy playing the single player beating the game with a mage and necromancer. It kinda sucked when I put my points into frost tree and later on bosses were immune to frost lol. I liked the lore and I have read Diablo: The Sin War. I plan to collect all the Diablo novels at some point.
I look forward to playing Diablo 3.
