could be interesting, can't wait to see the pricing :/

Just going to save a copy here to see if this Rengarious gets anything right...

I really doubt this is legitimate, mostly because it's talking about it being a Diablo MMO. I just don't see them gutting WoW for something most people don't really want. Diablo's an ARPG at heart and always has been. The pushback would be far more intense than it was when D3 did away with skill trees.

As I was just saying somewhere else on the internet (Everquest!), the hot thing for multiplayer right now is open world games like Destiny, The Division, GTA:O, Anthem etc. Not one of them is fantasy based though. If Blizzard wanted to enter that space, they could certainly do it with Diablo.

[edit] For not-rumour-stuff:

That jacket looks nice!
And Diablo: Reign of Terror could well be the name of a new game...

That jacket is very nice... I wanted the Overwatch Lego... so maybe a jacket as well...

The other rumour from a while back was that they want to develop an open world third person Diablo game like Dark Souls or The Witcher. They could certainly do a spin off third person game and still have a D4 in traditional isometric view.

I love my beanies and the color scheme for that diablo one is quite nice. There was also some nice shirts too.

I'm a bit bummed that the Diablo comics look to have been canned. Looking forward to getting the book of adria though.

And Guardian done on two accounts now!

Currently playing a Necro through the campaign to get my Trag'oul wings. Should be interesting in HC.

LOL, even IGN is getting in on the stupid rumours!

It's just a poster people!

Blizz has had to come out and deny this...

Still suspicious, it's a bit weird some things being labelled with Reign of Terror when the rest aren't. >_>

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 16 Oct 2018, 08:03

Well, it's good to see this wasn't cancelled too...

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 17 Oct 2018, 07:49

And this is apparently a big enough deal that they're releasing a special version of the Switch with a 6yo game...

Well...

BlizzCon 2018 is almost here and we’ve seen a lot of rumors flying around about our plans for Diablo at the show. These are very exciting times—we currently have multiple teams working on different Diablo projects and we can’t wait to tell you all about them . . . when the time is right.

We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that “good things come to those who wait,” but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror.

While we won’t be ready to announce all of our projects, we do intend to share some Diablo-related news with you at the show.

November 2 will be an especially diabolical date—not only is it the first day of BlizzCon, it’s also when Diablo III arrives on the Nintendo Switch. If you’re planning to pick up the game (the digital download will be available starting at midnight on launch day) and are joining us in Anaheim, be sure to bring your console. We’d love to slay some demons with you on the show floor.

Again, we want to thank you for your patience and support. We are eternally grateful to you and the millions of other Diablo fans around the world whose passion for this franchise inspires us and keeps our fires burning.

We’ll see you in hell . . . and at BlizzCon!

I don't think it's D4.

It's so TRUE!

Post by **Mythor** » 19 Oct 2018, 12:58

If the Diablo-related news at BlizzCon is the rumoured Netflix series, I hope it looks really good and isn't a million months away. Sad it sounds like we'll only get one announcement though.

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 20 Oct 2018, 08:16

Worth a watch...

A lot of speculation of course.

Thinking things through, if the Netflix series is the only announcement for Diablo then I think it's going to be a pretty shitty Blizzcon overall since Diablo is getting two prime main stage slots including the one that follows the opening ceremony. That's usually where you can expect the biggest news so if their biggest news is a Netflix series, I'd hate to see what Starcraft, Overwatch, WoW and Hearthstone are getting.

We can pretty much confirm no Diablo 4. So at least one of the announcements will have to be Diablo 3 related or it's a Diablo 2 remaster... or both.

My money is on a similar treatment for Diablo that the Starcraft franchise got last year which was:

- make the base package for the current game F2P
- give the first expansion upgrade for free to existing owners of the base game
- increase the amount of micro transactions available in the current game's in game store (Druid? Stash tab pack? Character slots? New acts coming in the future like the Nova missions for SC2?)
- release the previous title for free
- announce a remaster of the previous title

They can add in the Netflix series and also the Book of Adria as icing on the cake.

Anyway, two more weeks to go and we'll know for sure.

Is Blizzcon next weekend now?
Not long to wait to see who is right and who was making random shit up.

I wouldn't mind another class for D3, although some new areas would be even better...
The Overwatch character listed sounds very interesting though, and the PvE gamemode...

Post by **Mythor** » 29 Oct 2018, 14:54

That'd be 3 announcements for Diablo though, Blizzard seemed to be downplaying it a bit.
A D2 "remaster" that just has a massive stash would be fine by me.

Blizzcon starts Friday, so Saturday Australia time. 5am in Sydney. -_-

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 29 Oct 2018, 16:28

Yeah, wake up early and watch the live stream of the opening ceremony.

Then keep an eye on DiabloFans for news on the Diablo panel.

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 03 Nov 2018, 06:40

Diablo mobile game... yeah, that's the next Diablo game.

It's called Diablo Immortal. It's still gonna be an ARPG and set in the period between D2 and D3.

As someone who doesn't use an Android or iOS mobile, it means nothing to me.

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 03 Nov 2018, 07:00

Trailers...

The dislikes on the actual Youtube pages is more than likes atm... way more.

EDIT: On the bright side, Diablo 3 is no longer the black sheep of the series!

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 03 Nov 2018, 08:28

This just keeps getting better and better...

And a roast...

And an MVP been brought to tears...

I'm just waiting for the videos from Rhykker, Wolfcryer (literally crying I bet), Bluddshed and Leviathan to rip into the devs too.

Post by **Mythor** » 03 Nov 2018, 09:54

My immediate reaction was to wonder why they couldn't bring some of those new abilities to Diablo 3. A handful of new abilities to pick from could refresh the game a bit.

Crossing over to a proper mobile version (Switch is mobile too, but more traditional) is fine by me, don't have to play it if it's a bit pants. But maaaan, announcing it at BlizzCon was a mistake. The people attending and watching the stream are the hardcore fans, not the casual gaming audience who'll find this appealing. Maybe the plan was to grab a bunch of attention via disaffected gamers complaining, but that's a weird strategy.

Mugsy · Post by **Mugsy** » 03 Nov 2018, 10:47

Yeah, that seems to be thoughts of the community too. The concept of exploring the 20yr lore gap between Diablo 2 and 3 is sound... the devoted fans just want it on PC, best delivered on the main game in the series atm.

I can see why various devs have been leaving the franchise over the past year... they didn't want to be peddling this crap as the main product Diablo has to offer.

Blizzard could have done so much more... discussed the Neflix series, future seasonal themes even, but they lump this on us as the main thing to get excited about when other franchises like Warcraft get things that they want (classic server and Warcraft 3 remaster). Every other current game in Blizzard's franchise got new content except Diablo 3... you could not show less support for a franchise especially after the community manager's video hyping things up.

But hey... we can all play Destiny 2 now!
