Proof that Diablo 3 is Coming!?


Recommended Posts

"Sorry to get your hopes up, but we can officially deny that Diablo is on our cover next month. We?re announcing something big and exciting and exclusive (actually, there are two big exciting exclusive announcements in this issue!), and we had to go a long way to get it, but it?s not from Blizzard." said Dan Stapleton (PC Gamer Magazine, Senior Associate Editor).

Found this on www.diablo3.com (or www.diablofans.com, which ever it is now)

It is possible that the "Top Secret MMO Project" jobs are for WOTLK, because if I remember correctly, they have been there even before the second WoW expansion was announced.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure they classify all WoW games and expansion as just World of Warcraft. The little icon speaks for itself, and I never saw a Burning Crusades one, and I doubt there's a WOTLK one. You could be right, but it's just a doubt in my mind. However, there could be 2 Top Secret projects, D3 could be one, and be 3D, but not necessarily an MMO, and another MMO they're making. Why they'd not make it an MMO with the success they've had, is a good question, but is possible.

As much as I trust that image, I'm going to go ahead and say that it may be faked.

A few peopler run their own servers for WoW, and could easily give themselves "GM" status, and send that to a person,..

The person could just take a screen cap and highlight it.

Unless that's you playing.

Nope, blizz wouldn't compete with them selfs. WoW is raking in the cash. Spending millions to develop an MMO wouldn't be the brighest of ideas.

Sorry, I disagree.

WoW players and Diablo players are two completely different markets.

Pretty sure they'd be all for experimenting with a second MMO. It's not like they're stealing business from anyone. Not to mention with all the success WoW has had, why not try and attract more players to the MMO...ness? Regardless, I'd be happy with whatever genre Diablo 3 is... within reason, obviously.

WoW players and Diablo players are two completely different markets.

Hardly. They both feature fantasy creatures and magic. Not correct me if I'm wrong. But that sounds a lot like WoW to everyone who doesn't dribble over every detail released. Now if it was a Starcraft MMO, that would be a diffrent matter. :)

A Diablo III would be great either way but I think a Hybrid Approach would be awesome. Expand on the Age of Conan Idea and have the game capable of being an MMO whilst containing the usual great Diablo single player storyline. For those that don't know in Age of Conan you enter "night mode" (obviously change that perhaps) and when in this mode its all single player/main lore driven and its quite extensive. However when you want to mix it up with other players, run instances, or do perhaps some non storyline specific quests, boom back to "day mode" and your in the usual MMO environment with other players running around etc.

Blizzard is the only company I would trust to make Diablo 3 more epic than Diablo 2. Whether they make it an MMO or not or possibly even a hybrid I am sure that is will still be entertaining and keep me addicted for years. I mean it's Blizzard we are talking about here.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
