New Diablo project revealed via Blizzard job posting

A new unannounced Diablo project is currently underway, according to a job posting on Blizzard's careers website.

21

Blizzard’s careers site has posted a job listing looking for an art director for an unannounced project set in the Diablo universe.

The listing asks that potential candidates have “a passion for games with a deep understanding of the Diablo franchise.”

This job listing could hint at a number of things, with the most likely being a new expansion for Diablo 3. It could also possibly hint at a completely new Diablo game, although considering how long it took Blizzard to release Diablo 3 after Diablo 2 (nearly twelve years), we don’t see this to be as likely as a new expansion.

One piece of speculation we also thought of was the possibility of a free-to-play game set in the Diablo universe. Considering how popular Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm have become over the years, developing a new free-to-play game could also be a possibility, although we know there’s slim-to-no chance of that being the case here.

        I think everyone wants the Druid. I hope that's what they go with.

              I want some kind of robot milkman.

              Special builds include:
              Curdsman.
              Shadowfather.
              Jug Slinger

            I doubt they'd make another pet class unfortunately.

              Seriously, I think people wanted a proper Necro class at first, but now it would just feel redundant. A Druid/Shapeshifter would be nice.

            To be fair, blizzard builds most of their games so that they're basically impossible to balance.

            That's fine tbh. Honestly I wish the expansion ONLY had more classes. I don't really need new content or want to continue the...story.... I think the patches rolling out are doing that just fine.

        This makes sense for the THIRD expansion. All signs seem to be pointing to a Blizzcon announcement for the second expansion. And if true, it's a little late in the game for them to be hiring this position for the second expansion.

        Totally agree ^^^^^ on both, I hope so.

        I also like them to start on Diablo 4's concept already now that be cool too, since 3 took a lot of effort to make.

          I bet some small team is working on concepts for D4 but it is probably a long way off. Although D3 started out as a possible D2 expansion, so who knows. I'm all for another expansion for D3, I think there's a lot they can still do to make the end game more meaningful.

      Tough interview questions will include "what are all of the colors of the rainbow, and why is using them wrong and punishable by massive internet outrage?"

      There should be some reverse game mode, where you give weapons to mobs and let them battle it out for your glory in an arena.

      There should be an upgradeable house, where you can line the walls with the heads of every enemy you've killed.

      There should be additional item slots for more rings. I mean, fuck, I could easily fit five rings on a pinky finger, so there should be at least 50 ring slots.

      There should be a mode where your character sits down at an nes and plays battletoads. Like a battletoads mode. battlemoad.

          mine are from vgchartz and physical only i think. the variation is probably the main thing rather than the numbers. you would drop the expansion on last gen and PC? or this gen?
