Spoke to a friend at Blizzard a couple of weeks ago. He takes his confidentiality agreement seriously, but was willing to answer general questions. From these I found out the following...
There was a company show and tell a couple of weeks ago and it was announced that a new game would be announced at the Paris show, definitely not Starcraft ii or a WOW expansion. It will be from an existing property but will not be an MMO. The next generation MMO they are hiring for is "several years away." I asked him if Blizzard were to do a Diablo III, would they make it first/third person like Hellgate and he said they would stick to what they know is successful.
Unless it is a Lost Vikings sequel, I am very confident that Diablo III will be announced in Paris.
If your source is credible that is great news. For those of you who don't know, June 28th 2000 was the release of D2. Couple that with the info above, and it sounds like we have an unofficial announcement.
Once again, if the source is good, then this also ends the debate over whether or not D3 is MMO.
That was the exciting news to me as well. He had all but admitted the existence of DIII in the past but this was the first time I got specific about gameplay. To learn that it would not mess with the formula was music to my ears.
