Will Diablo IV be announced at BlizzCon 2018? For a while there it was starting to seem more and more likely, with Blizzard dropping hints that the future of its loot-heavy role-playing series would be unveiled at next month's event, but now the developer's trying to temper expectations.
It's posted a statement on the official Diablo website which reads: "We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that 'good things come to those who wait,' but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror."
To us at least, that sounds like another way of saying "Diablo IV ain't gonna be announced next month". Blizzard reiterates that there will still be "Diablo-related news" at BlizzCon 2018, but it's clearly telling people not to get too excited, which is fair enough. The last thing any company wants is to be crucified for not announcing a game that was never going to be there in the first place.
So with all that in mind, what Diablo news do you want to hear? Fight back the demonic hordes in the comments section below.

Maybe a Remaster of 1 and 2 possibly?
Stop playing with my heart.
Yes...console remasters for D1 & D2, please.
I'd agree with the above, if it's not going to be 4, let it be 1 and 2. I have fond memories of 1, but never got the chance to play 2.
Well if the keep adding stuff to D3 the question is do we really need a four? Adding stuff to Diablo 3 is just as good IMO.
Diablo 2: LoD Remaster with a Patch version of good old 1.09, where Amazon with Buriza Do-Kyanon Balista and Shaftstop+Gaze was everything!
Diablo 4 as a launch title for PlayStation 5.
And all the previous games fully remastered on one disc.
Of course it's not gonna be diablo 4 news Jesus it's only been 6 year since diablo 3.
“But evil things often take longer.”
Unless your name is Robert!
Maybe an mmo style game that contains all 3 games....I don't know, but I hope its good.
Mobile Diablo 3 card game similar to Hearthstone obviously.
Otherwise why chase off this guy last year?

Well firstly I never expected D4. Blizzard takes forever to make their games. As for the future of Diablo, I'd also love some kind of gritty MMO-style game.
In my book the main problem of Diablo (and WoW in some instances) is, that after a certain level of power that you gained with your character, it's all just mindlessly running through dungeons blowing stuff up.
I miss the times where strategy was needed.
But to guess WHERE the travel goes with Diablo, it's not hard to judge really. Look at Heroes of the Storm, look at Overwatch and how Blizzard crafted games that kinda advertise each other and how they monetize things with lootboxes and cosmetics. They tried something similar with Diablo 3 in the beginning, with the dreaded auction house.
Rest assured, they will try again and I fear that Diablo 4 will focus solely around a way to sell us cosmetics, just like Overwatch and Heroes of the Storm. Also Hearthstone with Card-Packs. THIS is the future and I admit, I love playing all those games and as long as it is all optional, heck why not dump 120 bucks into a game I keep playing instead buying 3 other ones.
