Diablo 3 not the end of the franchise News

PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

13 August, 2008

Blizzard has said the Diablo universe will live on in some form or another after Diablo 3.

"We're not saying this is the end of the Diablo universe, but we are trying to bring this storyline to a close," Jay Wilson, lead designer, told MTV Multiplayer.

"It's not just Diablo 3 - we've got plans beyond."

Wilson said the plot for Diablo 3 will draw plenty of inspiration from previous instalments as well as those accompanying books we had no idea existed.

"We're definitely going to bring a few of them in," said Wilson of familiar characters, after confirming the inclusion of Deckard Cain, who we saw at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in June.

Diablo 3 is exclusive to PC and Mac, but Blizzard has suggested that Diablo is the most suited of its franchises for a console appearance in the future.

No date, unsurprisingly, has been set, but you can catch up with the hordes of media as well as our thoughts over on the Diablo 3 gamepage.

Diablo is still probably the franchise I have sunk most time into and I think this is likely to continue to be the case, 4 years of diablo 2 on Battlenet does that to you. It could work well as an RTS, a la Company of Heroes

Why is this article in the PS3 section? All this cr@p about there being a possibility of Diablo coming to consoles...there is nothing to suggest that at all in anything Blizzard say. "It is theoretically possible" means they could do it if they wanted. What you need to get, Eurogamer, is someone from Blizzard to say that they are going to do it. Then you have what is known as "news".

Yeah, I seem to remember the guy saying Diablo console was possible "in theory". Seriously EG, give it a rest.
