In an update on Blizzard’s community site, it looks like they are investigating the possibility of a ‘Diablo concept’ for the console market. A new Diablo game for consoles is the one question that is asked tiome and time again and Blizzard always shy away from the idea. However, perhaps they are now thinking it may well work and with the support of Activision now in the picture.
Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.
Blizzard added the following job positions today:
Lead Designer, Console – Diablo III
Lead Programmer, Console – Diablo III
Senior Producer, Console – Diablo III
Note that we called this one two weeks ago, after reading several non-denial console comments in Blizzcon interviews.
