Blizzard unveil Diablo 3

[zatoicchi]

Over the weekend, at the Blizzard Convention in Paris, it was revealed that Diablo, the successful RPG franchise, is making a comeback!

The new Diablo 3 website has launched, showing a teaser trailer, a gameplay video,screenshots character classes, features, environments and much more.

The game takes place on Sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced the armies of the Burning Hells -- and were fortunate enough to survive -- went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In Diablo III, players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.

2008? I had no idea people have been expecting Diablo 3 for so long.

the expectations existed as early as when it was clear that diablo2 turned out to be a very good game, not to mention how various rumors kept the interest alive throughout the years, something undoubtedly useful to the company (hence unofficially supported), however their priorities were focused on WoW as long as its profitability wasn't sufficiently exploited/depleted - its a very calculated behavior towards profit maximization


On June 28, 2008, Blizzard officially announced[1] Diablo III, in Paris, at their World Wide Invitational exhibition. Prior to that announcement, Diablo III had existed only in rumors -- more than eight years of rumors that were so powerful the hypothetical game had taken on an almost mythical status. While this was the first official acknowledgment of the game, careful observers were in near-unanimous agreement that development of Diablo III had begun at Blizzard North in the early 2000s, and continued at Blizzard Irvine following the closing of Blizzard North in late 2005.

Evidence for this hinged not on any one point of overwhelming evidence, but was instead built from a great deal of circumstantial evidence and leaked tidbits. Those strands of evidence were compiled on this page, which was updated until shortly before the official announcement, but is now retired, its purpose fulfilled.
