==Introduction==

Diablo III will follow closely in Diablo II's track, and among the most heavily prioritized functions is the isometric view, ~~and~~ fast gameplayand randomised content for high replayability. Some changes has been made to change details in the game to make it faster and more flexible, but also making players have to make choices and employ tactics rather than mindless grinding. Besides taking well learned lessons from WoW, the developers have been inspired by games such as Zelda and God of War.

We have been shown detailed pictures of [[Skovos]] (the land of the [[Amazon]]s), as well as [[Caldeum]] and Tristram. Skovos is confirmed to be excluded from the game, but the level of detail they are putting in to the universe suggests either a big expansion pack, MMOs or a film.

Outdoor areas will be less randomised than dungeons, and the terrain will for the most part be static. Instead a lot of random scripted events will take place, some will even be really advanced. It can vary from an escort [[quest]], to a mouldy tome, or a big bad [[boss]] monster. You will also find interactive environments with dangerous traps and obstacles, and [[destructible]] elements. There will be "numerous" outdoor locations.

==Who's in Charge?==

Naturally, [[Blizzard]] are the guys making Diablo III, but that isn't a surprise. The important people for this production is the relatively new Blizzard employee Diablo III Lead Designer [[Jay Wilson]], besides the regular team. For fans, you might want to keep a look out for [[Bashiok]], the new Diablo Community Manager and [[Leonard Boyarsky]] who is the Lead World Designer for Diablo III, and head of [[quest]]s & [[lore]] as well as designing the world of [[Sanctuary]].

==Expansions, MMO or Film==

Any future plans after Diablo III is unknown, but it seems apparent that Blizzard are confident [http://www.incgamers.com/Games/1935/features/90/Diablo-III-Inforview] that there WILL be an expansion. they have mentioned that the story line will have a more "final" ending than in Diablo II, which possibly means to make it better for an expansion, or perhaps a future MMO or a Diablo film.

*Interactive environments with dangerous traps and obstacles, and [[destructible]] elements

*Vast assortment of fiendish [[monster]]s, with unique attack patterns and behaviors

~~==Diablo III Fact Sheet==~~

Diablo III is being developed as the definitive action role-playing game, and a true continuation of the Diablo series. Players will create a hero from one of five distinct classes, such as [[barbarian]] or [[witch doctor]], each equipped with an array of spells and abilities. As these heroes adventure through rich and varied settings, unraveling an epic [[storyline]] and engaging in combat with hordes of [[monsters]] and challenging [[boss]]es, they’ll grow in experience and ability and acquire items of incredible power.

The game takes place on [[Sanctuary]], a world of dark fantasy. Unbeknownst to most of its inhabitants, Sanctuary was saved some twenty years ago from the demonic forces of the underworld by a few brave and powerful heroes. Most of those warriors who directly faced [[Hell]]’s armies -- and were fortunate enough to survive -- went mad from their experiences. And most of the others have buried their haunted memories and pushed the horrors from their thoughts. In [[Diablo III]], players will return to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms once again.

Diablo III will be a fitting sequel to [[Diablo II]], with the easy interface, fast-paced action, and visceral gameplay that Diablo players have come to expect and enjoy. It will also include many new features that will take the Diablo action-RPG experience to the next level.

~~===Features===~~

*Five powerful character classes to choose from, including the [[barbarian]] and [[witch doctor]]

*Brand-new 3D graphics engine enhanced with spectacular visual effects and [[Havok]] physics

*Numerous indoor and outdoor areas detailing new regions in the world of [[Sanctuary]]
