Two stories substantiate rumors that Diablo 3 will be announced soon. First, GamingSteve mentioned it on his podcast last week. Steve has a few contacts at Blizzard entertainment, and his ‘rumors’, or foreknowledge, of WoW has been spot on. He says that the Diablo 3 project has been active for “longer than you might have expected”, hinting towards a few years of development.

Now, Blizzard’s team of ex-Diablo engineers are looking to hire for an upcoming project.

Oooh baby. I was looking forward to Titan Quest for its diabloesque gameplay. I’ll take another installment of Diablo, too, if I must.

I expect an official announcement sometime before E3. Maybe at the GDC?
