The devil makes work for idle hands



Diablo, the successful RPG from Blizzard may be due for a comeback in the form of Diablo 3. Blizzard have not even confirmed whether the game is in the making, but further evidence suggests that the game may well see an appearance in the next couple of years.

Blizzard's official site is currently advertising for the positions of Art director, Lead 3D Character Environment artist, Lead 3D Character Animator and 3D Character artist for an upcoming PC project. These job openings tie in with earlier rumours that the game music is currently in composition, Diablo II.net received an email reading, “I am musician in Czech Republic. I play not with one orchestra but with many depending on work. I have recently been to Bratislava in Slovak Republic for recording sessions with local Radio Symphony Orchestra, where we just recorded music for Diablo 3.”

According to many rumours Diablo III will be an MMO, as huge as World of Warcraft, with the concept of Hell invading Heaven. As with World Of Warcraft, we'd certainly expect Blizzard to bring out a subscription scheme similar to their epic MMO.

It's early days, rumours have been floating around for some time and, until will see a screenshot, we won't be entirely convinced.

European gaming website InDiablo.de have even launched a petition, a 'call to arms' to bring the the third installement to our PCs. Signed the petition here

Huge Diablo 2 fan. Can't wait. The only thing that concerns me is if they do a WoW thing and charge a monthly fee - i won't bite if they do.
Huge diablo and diablo 2 fan and agree that if there is a monthly fee I will not play. Make it single player with online as d2.
Brilliant! Absolutely loved Diable 1 and 2 :) Bring it on!

(Also 1000 posts :D)
But will it be the same? I thought most of the diablo guys had left and Hellgate:London was the result.
Diablo III? That'd be something I'd consider buying new!

But is it true? Check this and decide - http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2006/02/rumor_diablo_ii.php
