More new areas of the game, more spells, more monsters, and more everything will be revealed over time, but the Diablo III developers are clearly enjoying the slow run out, knowing how much they're holding in reserve.
==Diablo 3 Screenshots==
Countless images taken from Diablo 3 screenshots fill the articles in this wiki. The small page format of a wiki doesn't allow for proper appreciation of quality images though, so it's recommended that interested fans seek out the full sized screenshots.
The best collection of Diablo 3 Screenshots can be seen in the image gallery of Diii.net, the leading fansite. They have archived every single released screenshot, as well as taking hundreds of screencaptures of the various Diablo 3 Gameplay movies. All of the images have informative captions, as well as tags enabling viewers to sort them by the areas, characters, skills, monsters, and other things shown in them.
In addition to stand alone screenshots, Blizzard has released several high quality gameplay movies, showing extensive monster-bashing and rainbow-watching. Screen caps of these aren't quite as high quality as the screenshots, but they are still quite nice, as well as informative of the game, for those who haven't had the chance to play yet.

[http://diablo.incgamers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=583 Artisan Movie] -- The [[Artisans]] make their debut in this film, narrated by Game Director [[Jay Wilson]]. This movie is more an informative presentation than an action-fest, and the information presented in it is completely integrated into this wiki.

==Diablo 3 Cinematic Movies==

In addition to that teaser cinematic, they have produced [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinama Machinima]-style "cinematic" movies to introduce the [[Wizard]] and [[Monk]] characters, with one for the [[fifth character]] coming at BlizzCon 2010. These movies combine gameplay with short, narrative films created with the Diablo III game engine; these use actual game art assets, which were created to be viewed from above, in the isometric PoV that the Diablo series has made famous.
These machinima films are just for promotional purposes; there will not be cut-scenes in that style used for the storytelling in the game. They are in many RPGs, and were in [[Starcraft 2]], but the developers felt they would not work well in Diablo III since they would have to be individually tailored to the five characters. The story will instead be presented through game events, and in full quality, pre-rendered cinematics.
The following galleries contain dozens of high quality images from each cinematic movie. You can also view the files on YouTube, albeit in lower image quality.
