Well, Diablo IS back, however, it’s still in book form for now. Blizzard announced a trilogy, aptly named The Sin War. Richard A. Knaak is behind the project.
Blizzard are the masters of hype, always keeping us on our toes.
In Birthright, the first book of the new Diablo trilogy, The Sin War, the eternal conflict between the angelic forces of the High Heavens and the demonic hordes of the Burning Hells has spilled over into Sanctuary — the world of men. Now, Sanctuary’s destiny, and that of every mortal soul, lies in the balance.A must-read for gamers and fiction fans alike, 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. The second novel in the trilogy, The Sin War, Book Two: Scales of the Serpent, is forthcoming from Blizzard and Pocket Books.
If you ask me, it doesn’t get clearer than that. The books are a warm up to an Diablo 3 announcement, trailer, and everything we’ve been waiting for. Just remember to keep your fingers crossed! 2007 is just a few months away.
Update: Richard A. Knaak will have an open IRC discussion on the 23rd about the Diablo trilogy. Some say the books are intended to provide Diablo 3 with a plotline.
Update: a new Starcraft book will be out in May which is hopefully good news for Starcraft fans waiting for Starcraft 2.
