Blizzard: Diablo 3 or Starcraft 2?

According to IGN, Blizzard is contemplating a Starcraft sequal for real.

…another little nugget of gold dropped alongside it with the public admission that Itzik Ben Bassat, Vice President Business Development and International for Blizzard Entertainment, would be keen to see a new StarCraft before too long.

On stage in London for the game launch, Bassat stated, “I’m a StarCraft player myself and I hope it’s not a decade, and we launched StarCraft in 1998, before I’m standing here again, celebrating the next game in the series.”

During another previous interview, Paul Sams (Blizzard’s COO) said that in 2007 they’ll have 3 (three) product announcements. If we consider that the Burning Crusade has been one, we’re left with two.

Could it be that our wildest dreams will become true? Both Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 will be announced soon?

Update: IGN has a rumor that a Starcraft 2 beta will be out by the year end.

Note: A StarCraft 2 wiki and a Diablo 3 wiki have just been setup.

  3. 3 Robert Feb 2nd, 2007 at 7:28 pm

    Diablo 3, Blizzard has not made a new diablo game since 2001. Also rumors been going around about Diablo 3 so why just make it already.

  4. 4 TomWhoLovesDiablo Feb 3rd, 2007 at 4:52 pm

  9. 9 Trippalot Feb 22nd, 2007 at 2:13 pm

    Take Diablo 3 Fuck starcraft 2

  10. 10 Krisi Feb 23rd, 2007 at 8:21 am

    Diablo 3!but not bad, if they take SC2

  11. 11 Fred Feb 23rd, 2007 at 12:33 pm

    hum i hope they will come up with diablo 3 has a third person game like wow that would be crazy.And for star craft 2 it would be nice two,but like ign says sc2 is for sure lets hope

  12. 12 Draggon Mar 11th, 2007 at 2:21 pm

    Diablo 3 … I wasn’t that into StarCraft and, though it’s been around 9 years since the original release of SC, I don’t think it had quite the crown and glory that D2 (or even the first one) had and still holds. Between the two, I think they had more potential with D2 and should run with it…I’ve been waiting for the release announcement for about 2 years or so.

  13. 13 Kirika Mar 16th, 2007 at 2:10 am

    Starcraft was out way before D2, and since it also became a huge hit, it deserves a sequel. Blizzard should concentrate on making each of their franchise be focused on specific genres.

    Starcraft for the RTS gamers. It keeps Koreans busy.

    Diablo for single player gamers who can’t afford to play online and would rather go through the same thing a few thousand times until they all collectively beg for a sequel.

    Warcraft for mmo gamers to keep the basement occupied and uber-nerdo-guilds go into the “first to kill (insert boss name) in the world” racing frenzy.

  14. 14 Aaron Mar 18th, 2007 at 5:21 am

    make and release DIABLO 3 for the last time please

  15. 15 thomas lansing Mar 25th, 2007 at 7:22 pm

    Well I think sc2 would come first, as far as I know sc is the favorite out of all the games and has been around longer then diablo 2.

  16. 16 sreenivas Mar 27th, 2007 at 3:17 am

    Diablo 3 please, other wise people will forget it,, still i love diablo game than SC or WOW. ( age of mythology is similar to war craft).
    blizzard will consider the hard ware requirement they will keep low requirement for future games . then only they will achieve in market other wise big FLOP like VISTA ( because of hard ware requirement)

    any how i like DIABLO than any othe game plese release as quickly as possible

  17. 17 slayer Mar 28th, 2007 at 3:57 pm

    BLIZZARD NEEDS TO RELEASE DIABLO 3 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

  18. 18 Ðiablo Mar 30th, 2007 at 11:43 pm

    Does anyone now when D3 will realese?

  19. 19 Surfingpikachao Mar 31st, 2007 at 3:38 am

    Starcraft has been around longer and not yet had a sequel so starcraft should TECHNICALLY get it. But I’d much prefer a diablo 3. There have been a lot more rumours about diablo 3 being set in heaven with hell attacking, people from blizz saying the gfx look excellent etc. but either way they said 2 releases other than TBC so we might get both. You never know they might even get of their asses to complete Starcraft: Ghost.

  20. 20 erik Apr 18th, 2007 at 11:31 pm

    man when the hell is d3 coming out i have been waiting for like 3 years just to hear one word about it and still… i have heard a word but please come out befor chrismas i love d2 and d1 was ok but i have beat both of them countless times and man dose that ever get boring we need!!!!!!!!!!!!!! something new sc2 i hate that game there is really no point in that game just like all other starcraft games ect for instence silkroad no point in that game but kill to get better now d3 i hope will have a dam good rpg roleline to play on and wtf is with wow and the expansion the real game only came out a wile ago you don’t need expansion now !!!!!!

  21. 21 mephisto May 9th, 2007 at 9:09 am

    First of all Starcraft was released 2 or 3 years before Diablo and second- it has always been a bigger game than Diablo so I guess it will be sc2 :( But there is still hope, nothing is officially announced yet. :)

  22. 22 diabeo135 May 16th, 2007 at 1:20 pm

    diablo 3 will come out because they are gathering there powers to create the penultimate (or maybe just ultimate) game. they have a writer for the diablo franchise writing new books, and they have job openings that look suspiciously like a job used for diablo, sooooo. i am fairly sure (fairly.) that diablo 3 will be out within a couple of years (1 at the least). if they have these openings then obviously they are still looking for people to do the job. if they do make it then from what i have read and heard and seen it will be the best of the best. (bigger than oblivion, better graphics than real life, and less hardware requirements than running the clock.

  23. 23 diabeo135 May 16th, 2007 at 1:21 pm

    )

  24. 24 diabeo135 May 16th, 2007 at 1:23 pm

    go to planetdiablo.com for more details on storyline and other shtuff. it also has a cool ask gheed thing and some other tools for help on diablo 2

  25. 25 Lio May 17th, 2007 at 5:26 pm

    I hope for Diablo 3 and I’m starting to believe in it

    ps: A new patch Starcraft has just been launched ( patch 1.15 or 1.25 )

    and last patch for diablo 2 was in august 2005 ( 1.11 )

    It makes me believe that they’re gonna make them both but Diablo 3 first.

  26. 26 Vin D May 18th, 2007 at 1:08 am

    DIABLO DIABLO DIABLO!!! They better announce Diablo 3 or I’m gonna take it to the streets!. Who said Diablo is dead… he lives in me … and Deckard Cain.

  27. 27 el chupacabras May 19th, 2007 at 3:37 am

    Here we go… Starcraft 2 officially announced. Bad thing is that their BUSINESS strategies don’t let them claim whether there will be Diablo 3 in the future or not…

  28. 28 Amariasnei Jul 6th, 2007 at 10:16 pm

    Have you seen the starcraft two website. I realize its early, but god damn you might as well just throw the same game in a box and put a 2 sticker after the name. What shit

  29. 29 GamerX Sep 9th, 2007 at 12:55 am

    Who cares about SC2 jeez Diablo 3 would be played by 2x the ppl and played a hell lot longer/more times through! WC has always been better then SC swords/bows over guns and WC3(tft or roc) online is good enough of a stratedgy game for now, and WC3s custom games rock online even tho Blizzard doesn’t have the rights to them
    Hero wars/Dota/Doomsday Rev
    TDs/Mauls
    Evolution Unleashed
    Cats and mice/Farmers and Hunters
    theres games for everyone hero only/full armies/tower games

  30. 30 DooMGaZe Sep 30th, 2007 at 12:25 am

    If diablo 3 does come out im sure it will be one of the greatest games of all time i mean look at diablo 1 and 2 ….. Both have left their marks in the gameing world…. dont kid yourself.

  47. 47 Real Fan Apr 15th, 2008 at 9:55 am

    please. i dont think that they will send out D3 out in a long.
    it would be stupid.
    WOW is the way they make money.. so if you was a real fan you would forget about diablo 3.
    diablo 2 and diablo 2 exp. was genius lets play it.

  48. 48 Jeff Apr 21st, 2008 at 9:41 pm

    ((((((DIABLO 3 ALL THE WAY))))))

    I can’t stand WoW…It takes too long to do anything and it is full of petty side games. Diablo has it right with the mass destruction, descently fast leveling and an END to the game. Mass equipment selection is awesome too but WoW does have that.

    I love getting lots of good drops in Diablo. It’s like Christmas!!!

    (((((( I’D BUY IT ))))))

  51. 51 Zealot09 Jan 5th, 2009 at 3:21 pm

    Look I play both franchises and I am looking forward too both but the thing is that i am looking forward to Starcraft 2 more so why the fuck do u keeping bashing and Im not just talking about Diablo fans just stop bashing everyone has there own personal taste and everyone should respect that so if there are any bashers here fuck off. Starcraft is the bigger franchise but that doesn’t mean that Diablo is shit. RTS’ like Starcraft are played less in western countries and RPG’s are played more so I believe Starcraft is bigger in places like Korea. Anyway just FUCK OFF if you’re going to say “ohh diablo is shit its a piece of fuck how can you be playing it” or “dude wth is wrong with you diablo fucking pwns starcraft” go away both franchises are good in there own way and they’re completely different genres so you can’t really judge fairly on this some people like Starcraft some like Diablo but if you dont think that’s true go, just go.

  52. 52 Euro Jan 28th, 2009 at 9:30 am

    SC is STILL played everyday by hundreds of thousands of people. Diablo is a single player no brainer that only some very sick individuals still play. Cmon blizzard release SC2 already, i dont give a fuck whatever happens with diablo as long as SC2 isnt a second priority.

  53. 53 Xcent360 Feb 8th, 2009 at 1:50 am

    Holy shit fuck Diablo!!! all you fucking do is run around and kill the same fucking things over and over and over. At least with starcraft comes a Map Editor so people can actually add some extra shit to the game instead of wasting their lives away trying to get their character to level 99 on diablo. As for WOW…..kill yourself!
