Diablo 4 may in fact become a reality even if the story is closed in Diablo 3, says lead designer of Diablo 3, Jay Wilson.
In talking to MTV Multiplayer, Jay made this exact quote:
“We’re not saying this is the end of the ‘Diablo’ universe, but we are trying to bring this storyline to a close,” says Wilson. “It’s not just ‘Diablo III’ – we’ve got plans beyond.”
It seems obvious then from the statement above that Diablo 3 is only the beginning of the Diablo rebirth. Could there be a World of Diablo coming in the future? I definitely wouldn’t rule out the possibility, although I think it may all hinge on how well Diablo 3 sells.
Diablo III is the long-awaited sequel to what many consider two of the best computer games of all time, Diablo, and it’s sequel Diablo II which have sold in excess of 18 million copies.
