Diablo 4

It might seem like an outrageous question, but here we go.

With BlizzCon two weeks away, we're in the position of wondering what will happen when it has come and gone, and one of the games I most wonder about is Diablo 3.

Diablo 4 is (almost certainly) about to be announced.

I've been thinking about the lessons Diablo 3 teaches us in terms of going forward with Diablo 4.

Sometimes, when you're dealing with Blizzard, it's as much about what they don't say as what they do say.

I've argued in the past that we should get a Diablo 3 expansion.

The question is simple: is Blizzard going to reveal Diablo 4 this BlizzCon?

As is the case with any rumor, you can't be sure, but Kotaku has posted an article stating that various Blizzard sources have spoken to them off the record about the cancellation of an in-house StarCraft FPS game along the lines of the Battlefield series, in order to focus on both the Overwatch and Diablo franchises, which will be the big focuses of this year's BlizzCon.

I'm not saying there will be a new class, because I'd sooner expect a Diablo 4 announcement than a Diablo 3 expansion announcement.

I have in the past been very committed to the idea of Diablo 4.
