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.
New job postings as of 3/14 - 4/5 of the job listings that day were Diablo related.

More to come...
StarCraft: Brood War was released 1998.11.30 (Game Faqs)
StarCraft 2 was announced 2007.05.19 (Wiki)
Not really any connection (that I can see).
It would simply dissapoint me for a few days. But that's me.
threats? naw.... I just .....need some....... Diaabbblooo * eye twitches... * scratches arms fevorishly
steel how bout a jihad tandem?
And what is wrong with Warcraft? I originally got into the Blizzard world because of Warcraft, and still love the franchise.
Bad! No! Evil! Information is not allowed on this forum! How dare you bring thoughtful information onto Diablo3.com!
Lol...
Aye. It drives me insane. People find one little tiny coincidence and think that that means that Diablo 3 MUST be released on such and such date.
But what do I know. :rolleyes:
I like it too, but that's all Blizzard has focused on in the last 8 years. Nothing else.
Mind you, it takes more then a few days to make a game. (That means that they have been working on SC2 for a while now.)
So yea, they have been focusing on Warcraft and Starcraft.
(Not saying D3 would be bad if it was released, after all, I'm a member of Diablo3.com, just pointing out that your wrong.;))
Yes, and then they'll all be wrong just like every other time. Oh, crap, I might be dispelled from the site under charges of herecy!
Mmhmm. Blizzard is too complicated for most people here to understand. There are a few people here that can understand Blizzard...but not many...
As for heresy, let us all go down together! HOORAH!!!
This forum makes me sad... *Randomly tackles someone...*
WITCH!!! HE'S A WITCH!!! BURN HIM!!!!
http://news.mmosite.com/content/2007-04-27/20070427013035737.shtml It only makes sense considering moving the ENTIRE Date from May to June
I know it doesn't start with "The teams behind Diablo I and Diablo II..." but, it's still news. And they do mention Diablo...
It most probably has to do with the Battle.net updates they where talking about.
according to http://en.diablo-3.net/
Two weeks ago, Gayardos, the admin of the Spanish Diablo 3 blog - diabloiii.es, reported that he received a certified mail from a law firm by order of Blizzard in which he is told to give up this domain, to redirect it or to transfer it to Blizzard.
OMG THIS IS HUGE IF TRUE Umaro did probably sale his domain
But WOOT anyways!
Actually, since Blizzard owns the trademark, I think they just take it...
