RPGDot seems to think so
Blizzard is advertising for a whole swathe of jobs but one for a Lead Game Designer to head up the Blizzard North team that created Diablo and Diablo 2 lead Gamers Hell to wonder if Diablo 3 is heading into production. The job calls for someone with experience working on RPG titles and here's the intro text:
Blizzard North is looking for an experienced Game Designer to help lead the team that designed Diablo and Diablo II. The ideal candidate would be a talented and motivated individual with great design instincts and strong leadership skills.
Gamers Hell originally noticed the item at Evil Avatar.
That's fairly exciting news if true.

Never played Diablo 2 and I hated Diablo 1. Besides that, Blizzard needs a new franchise.

BS. Diablo was so-so. With Hellfire was great. Diablo 2 sucked. With LoD it was good. Now it sucks even more with 1.10.

By your reckoning, Koki, Blizzard certainly have a financially respectable formula, no ?
Never really enjoyed the Diablo series, I know why.

I always get sucked into the hype with Diablo games, no other Blizzard stuff, just that one series. Maybe I have fond memories of the demo for the first one back in the day... so here comes Diablo 3 excitement!

dunno.... them diablo games are well... stupid.
canbe amusing, but the whole magic system is just boring and fucking dumb....

though the videoclips are usually pretty neat.

I got Diablo when it first came out because it was supposed to be fucking amazing. I played for about half an hour and now it sits in a box under my desk. Never bothered with Diablo II, and I certainly won't bother with Diablo III.

Diablo 2 was my most anticipated game ever. Didn't like it that much but hey, LAN play was fun.

Aye, that was the case for me. Much like any of those "hack up mobs o' monstas" games before (e.g. Alien Breed) or since (e.g. Sacred), multiplayer is where they come through.
Single player didn't do it for me...

Who is this imbecile?? You have ten posts and all of them equally and incredibly flagrantly idiotic ones! How do you manage?
As for Diablo, I dont see how this peice of news applies to this forum? Diablo does not have a post-apocalyptic theme... and is it considered RPG? It cant be.
Though, I will admit it was quite a time-killer at one time... I did not like Diablo 2 without Lord of Destruction very much but it would be a little interesting to see what they would do for a third installment of the game...

I like him, he spices chit up a bit.
Though one does get a feeling that he has been here before under another nick.

Good idea! That should set them straight!

That's why this topic was made in the GENERAL GAMING forum.

I liked Diablo 1, Diablo 2 was meh but still fun in small doses and Diablo 3 will probably suck big time. It'll probably have loads of flashing effects, lame(r) magic system and be ported and dumbed down for console gamers.
I just don't trust Blizzard anymore. They suck, at least we have the new Diablo-like game from...Flagship, was it?

I thought some of the art on the second site looked interesting. *shrugs*
