In case y’all didn’t catch the news over the weekend, the magazine officially denied that their news is about Diablo 3.

@Kanthalos
#2 I think Blizzard basically confirmed a long time ago that the Diablo series was not finished.
#3 Blizzard doesn’t work on just one game at a time anymore. They’re working on an MMO (which might be an MMO in the same sense that Hellgate was called an MMO), but they’re definitely working on Diablo 3 as well (again, if that’s not the MMO).

They’re still just rumors, but they’re plausible this time. If it is coming out soon, I’ll collapse from overload. I’m not sure if I can handle so many dream-games coming out in the same year: Spore, LOTR:Conquest, Tom Clancy’s Endwar, Fable 2. Keep ‘em coming!

While I would really love to see Diablo 3, there are some things that make me think that it isn’t Diablo 3 (at least not in the action-rpg sense.)
First of all, most of the Diablo team from Blizzard has moved on to Flagship Studio. While I don’t think this would necessarily dissuade them from pursuing this title further, it’s something that should be considered.
Second, Blizzard is already working on StarCraft 2, which means they are building yet another game from one of the three franchises that they created. I personally think that they are wanting to branch out from the franchises that they’ve been using for the past decade (or longer in WarCraft’s case.)
The third thing that makes me think it’s not going to be “Diablo 3″ is that the other game they are working on is a “next-gen MMO.” To me, this means moving in a completely different direction than WoW, even though “next-gen” is probably just a buzz term. I suppose that it could end up being a Diablo-based MMO, but I just don’t think so. I think it’s time that they moved on to something new, but everyone knows that Blizzard does whatever they want, so we’ll see.
