<blue><font color="#FFFFFF">Will we see the Diablo 3 Expansion debut at Blizzcon this year?</font><br>
Josh Mosqueira: Blizzcon is going to be awesome this year! </blue>
The developers never made any secret of their desire to create at least one (and probably two) expansion packs for Diablo 3[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-will-have-several-expansions/], though Blizzard never reveals concrete details about their upcoming titles until they're ready to roll.
Since long before Diablo 3's release fans were referring to the original game as [[D3V]] (vanilla) or [[D3C]] (classic), with the expansions designated as [[D3X]] and [[D3Y]].
There's much speculation about when D3X might be released, but clearly the pre-release target of 18 months after D3V is out of the question. In recent years Blizzard has required 20-28 months between expansions for [[WoW]] and [[Starcraft 2]], and has generally revealed these games 12+ months before they were released. Blizzcon 2013 comes 18 months after Diablo 3's release, which makes summer 2014 seem the earliest feasible target date, with many fans expecting D3X in late 2014 at the soonest.
