All Available Diablo 3 Information

Diabloii.net, one of the oldest and the biggest Diablo fansite out there, has naturally taken on the mantle for Diablo 3. Looking at all the fansites, it seems a new Diablo 3 buzz wave is on it's way, and according to Alexa, the Diablo community is reaching the size it had back in 2002! If there ever was a good time for Blizzard to announce Diablo 3, it's now.

Awaiting this announcement that hopefully will come on WWI 2008 in Paris, there has been a huge compilation of Diablo 3 facts on Diabloii.net's Diablo 3 information page. It contains the entire timeline and events, including Flagship-related, as well as known project statuses from sources of information reaching from today back to '00. They report:

"On the back of our shiny new DIII forum Flux has gathered together all the Diablo III info going back to 2000. It should keep you straight on which rumour surfaced when and who said what and how much nudge, nudge, wink, wink was involved. You'll find some pretty impressive fake DIII artwork too.

If there's anything missing feel free to add it, if you are a site member you can edit the page and you're welcome to do so. Click for the Diablo III info page."

So, is D3 at WWI in Paris a bet?

Well, many of the old ones have been fake. There are more and more things building up on a rumour for D3 at LEAST to be in production! I hope blizzard don't feel they can wait as long as they did with StarCraft II before they disclose the project...

well if you all read they aren't confirming making a rumor they are just speculating mainly when blizzard is going to announce it.

D3 is a sure bet for some time in the future. I'd be very surprised if they don't make the game, it would be an instant hit. Who knows, we might see it announced in June ^^

Blizzard is currently working on three games, WoW, WoW:WotLK and SC2. I am sure they are quite busy with these games. (although they are working secretly on something... this is what every studio does)

Maybe they will announce D3 after they finish WoW WotLK and SC2.

Well, Officially, they are working on the games you mentioned AND one other project. Many clues leads us to believe it is an MMO, so it could be a Diablo MMO or a StarCraft MMO or something, or a whole new IP (not likely).

They COULD of course have super-secret additional projects somewhere, but there is at leas one game they ARE working on that they have not told what it is.

More info in the article linked. Jesus, wouldn't it be cool with a Diablo MMO? Or perhaps a regular Diablo III, can't really make up my mind...

They say that it's supposed to come out before the turn of the decade. If that were true, the announcement has to be made at least sometime this year.

Is D3 gonna be announced at WWI? I think so. The June weekend happens to be the anniversary of the release date of Diablo 2. It only makes sense.

Indeed. On the Date, I think the second day of WWI is the anniversary for Diablo II...

Diablo2 is one of my favorite games of all time. it has such a good story, they could make it into a movie. I expect great things from Diablo3.

i recall that years ago a blizzard dev said "if we do a sequel, first comes a starcraft sequel, after that we will think about diablo" after being asked about a diablo sequel.

they announced and showed us starcraft 2, so diablo must be next right? i dont think they will announce diablo 3 this year. because when they showed starcraft 2 it was already in beta phase. so i think that diablo3 is gonna receive the same treatment. and yes they will do it because it's such a big franchise, even bigger than the mighty starcraft in my opinion.

Tons of info there and I do think it's coming but I think it will be Blizzcon for the announcement. Fake box art is a damn good attempt.
