Spin that unsubstantiated hearsay wheel! What’s it gonna be? Red 18 for Warcraft 4, black 29 for Starcraft 3, pink 6 for WOW2, or how about black 7 for Unannounced Diablo Project? Blizzard, typically talking, are damned good at controlling data till they need data to be recognized, which implies we very hardly ever have any actual clue what their subsequent transfer will probably be.
Until yesterday, after they went proper on the market and advised the world that they’re engaged on a brand new Diablo mission.
Before we knee-jerk to Diablo 4 – as tempting because it is likely to be – there are different potentialities. Remakes or remasters of Diablos 1 (which they’ve semi-done already) or 2, as an illustration, or a late-in-the-day growth pack for Diablo III itself (which nonetheless appears to be like fully modern, regardless of its rising age).
All we have now to go on is that Blizzard simply put up job listings for an environment artist and a dungeon artist, each of which include the road “We’re working on a new, unannounced Diablo project.” This slightly robust assertion at the least suggests it’s not merely a seasonal replace for Diablo III.
Both positions are full-time slightly than short-term too, and stipulate information of 3D instruments, suggesting this can be a mission of serious dimension and complexity versus, say, only a spit’n’polish of the 2D Diablos 1 or 2. But hypothesis is simply hypothesis.
There’s additionally the road “The minions of Hell are growing stronger…”, which wouldn’t be the very first thing I’d say to somebody considering of working at my firm, however possibly the wannabe minions dig it.
Whaddaya reckon? Too quickly for Diablo 4, too late for a Diablo Three growth, too pointless to remake, say, Diablo 2 in 2D? Or: something, please, as long as it’s Diablo, and shortly.
