Blizzard have officially teased brand-new Diablo projects that they’re working on. The Associate Community Manager for the popular action-RPG series revealed that the studio are currently working on “multiple projects” related to the franchise.
Brandy Camel:
“The forges here at Blizzard are burning hot, and we have multiple Diablo projects in the works, some of them are going to take longer than others, but we may have some things to show you later this year.”
Blizzard listed a job for a dungeon artist on their website earlier this year for an “unannounced Diablo game.” It’s unclear whether the job was for a brand-new Diablo title, a remaster or a spin-off.
The company also posted this Tweet earlier in Feburary that had fans speculating over whether or not Diablo III would be arriving on the Nintendo Switch. Blizzard denied this; however, Eurogamer claimed its sources had confirmed that it was currently in the works. This is highly likely to be one of the projects mentioned in the video above.
Camel also discussed more Themed Seasons planned for Diablo III. The 14th season was the first to have a theme. It was based on the theme of greed, so all Treasure Goblin spawns were doubled. Instead of the usual one Goblin appearing, two would appear, which doubled the amount of loot for players to collect by killing the small demons before they escaped.
Diablo III is a dungeon crawler action-RPG developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The title released worldwide for PC in 2012. It then became available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 one year later in 2013.
The first expansion pack, Diablo III: Reaper of Souls, released in 2014, and the content came to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of the Diablo III: Ultimate Evil Edition.
