Gamespot is not known for spreading rumors. The list of Diablo 3 news is getting pretty long. Here’s the list according to Gamespot:
- Blizzard’s job announcements (Art Director to join the team behind Diablo and Diablo 2
- The new Diablo Trilogy to be published
- Richard A. Knaak speaking about Diablo and saying he’s “not writing for a dead world”.
Gamespot were kind enough to call Blizzard, only to get the following “official story”:
As it has in the past, Blizzard danced around any inquires about the status–or existence–of Diablo 3. “We love the Diablo universe and are definitely interested in returning to it at some point in the future,” a rep told GameSpot. “However, at this time, we’re wholly focused on completing the upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft.”
I bet there are at least two development teams working on games at Blizzard. So my guess is Diablo’s development (or Starcraft 2!) hasn’t slowed down, just because WoW’s expansion has been delayed. More likely, it’s the marketing guys whose hands are full with card games and what not!
Update: Blizzcon has just been announced - August 3 and 4. Let’s see what kind of game announcements Blizzard will make. My biggest hope is they don’t put off Diablo 3 because of Starcraft 2.
