Diablo 3 coming soon…

If you go to the Blizzard website, the landing page is a splash screen with ice surrounding some space. While many will postulate the announcement of Diablo 3. We really hope that it will be Diablo 3.

Previously was Starcraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. Now it’s either Warcraft 4 or Diablo 3.

Since Warcraft III was released later than Diablo 2 and Starcraft have the sequel already, Diablo sequel is most probably the prize of this announcement.

Let’s hope for Diablo 3!
