 This suspicion was all but confirmed by a Blizzard Product Schedule leaked<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzard-release-dates-leaked/ Leaked Release Schedule] -  MMOGamesite.Com, 2/12/10</ref> in early 2010, which you see in the image to the right. It listed Diablo 3 as targeted for the second half of 2012, with the first expansion 18 months later, and the second 18 months after that.
-Even before Diablo 3's release the developers were fielding questions about potential expansion packs. [[Jay Wilson]] spoke on that in August 2010.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-indiablo.de-part-two/]

 <blue>We haven’t really looked into our post-release content plans, but I would not expect us to do big content patch updates. Not like WoW or like an MMO. We’ll add in content in patches, but it will be smaller, like the way Starcraft 2 sometimes does in their patches. It won’t be something that’s on a regular schedule. It’ll be based on need, or based on “we have a really cool new thing we want to put out now and not wait on an expansion.” I’m sure we’ll do some things, but we don’t have any formal plans.</blue>
