RPG fans rejoice: game developer Blizzard Entertainment’s job listings reveal that an ‘unannounced Diablo project’ is on the cards.
The Irvine, California-based studio (which also made Overwatch and Hearthstone) is looking to hire a creative director, an executive producer, and various specialized artists (including a dungeon artists) for an upcoming Diablo game. That’s about all we have to go on for now, as there aren’t any further details about the title or a window for its release.
PC Gamer notes that there’s a possibility of either an all-new Diablo IV, or a careful remake of Diablo II. The latter was released 18 years ago, sold millions of copies, and won a bunch of awards and critical acclaim for its atmospheric dungeon-crawling gameplay.
As for a sequel, well, we sure could use one. Diablo III has been around since 2012, and has been receiving updates and seasonal events to keep players interested – but it’s been six years since it launched.
