Diablo3.com is not a domain name owned by Blizzard Entertainment, but the site has started an intriguing countdown teaser.
Blizzplanet, which is hosted by Diablo3.com, is also mirroring the same type of teaser vibe with its own countdown.
Fans have gone into rumor mill mode. Whatever it is, the answers will be unfolded on May 1st.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.
Diablo III: Season 28 brings with it the Altar of Rites, an altar full of unlockable bonuses and potions that will require the gathering of tons of resources. One of things needed is the Staff of Herding, which also unlocks the famous Cow Level known as Whimsyshire. Here's how to craft that staff, for those that either have forgotten, or have never completed it.

hey guys we r getting shut down by activ blizzard mwhahahaha
nah srsly... if D3 is announce, it will be frickin sweet
I wonder what it could be? The current train of thought in the Diablo world is that blizzard is going to announce diablo 3/mmo at the Blizzard WWI event in June. I think diablo3.com has a co-webmaster going to said event.
lol
It could also mean that they sold the domain to Blizzard and are officially going live on said date?
Who knows..
I've been going to diablo3.com almost everday now for about 2 years, 3 years, something like that.
I don't post in their forums, I basically just go there to see if they posted any new news, but I have looked at the forums and read peoples posts.
From what I can see, it just seems like a fairly small community of people, anticipating the same game as I am. I'm pretty curious as to see what this countdown is. The site has never done anything like that before, and I'm almost positive they wouldn't do it for anything non-diablo 3 related.
The sad thing is, I think that if Blizzard does indeed launch Diablo 3, they will buy this domain together with all the other diablo3.### they have. That is what they did with all the WorldofWarcraft.### domains.
If they don't, then there is a great chance of the next Diablo game not being named Diablo 3, but perhaps "World of Diablo", or something like it - an MMO.
We know they are working on *something*, and we also know they are looking for "next gen MMO developers". Now, that doesn't HAVE to be a coincident, but it COULD be...
Either way, we'll see...
