   Now that things are settled with StarCraft II, the award for the most rumoured Blizzard game is passed on to Diablo 3 (or Diablo III, if you like). Whether it will be a new hack'n'slash RPG, or a MMORPG as was speculated before the first BlizzCon in 2005, it definitely will be. Something. But where did this rumour come from and, most importantly, where is it headed, you can find out from a well-documented article published yesterday on the StarcraftTwo website (thanks Dan).

   The story comes shortly after this week's new announcement, that Blizzard will offer (among other goodies) beta keys to a "future game" of theirs at BlizzCon 2007 in August. It remains to be seen if said beta keys are for StarCraft II or, less likely, for another title... such as Diablo 3.

   But getting back to the article mentioned above, and drawing a parallel with the old rumours about the Diablo MMO (which would focus on the war between Heaven and Hell), the following quote in particular gains a lot of weight:
"I am not writing for a dead world... but a world with dead. 'nuff said!"    This was the answer given by fantasy author Richard A. Knaak, when asked if the story of his trilogy "Diablo: The Sin War" would be at the heart of the Diablo 3 game. And "a world with dead" could be a clever description for the Heaven (and Hell) in which the future Diablo MMO is said to take place. Hopefully it will revealed at BlizzCon this year. It would be about time.
