It may have been due to all the“too colorful” shenanigans, but no one has really been focusing on whatDiablo III’s story will contain. Tracey John,Multiplayer’s man with two first names, apparently realized this himself, as he attempted to drag some information on that very subject from lead designer Jay Wilson.
Not wanting to provide spoilers, Wilson only gave a few vague details, stating that we can expect to see plenty of familiar faces fromDiablo,Diablo II, and theDiablonovels.
“We also tried to focus a little more on bringing characters back, and not just fromDiablo IIbut fromDiablo I,” he said. “We feel like a lot of the focus is onDiablo IIbutDiablo Istarted it all and has a lot of really good stuff on the gameplay side and on the character side. So people can expect to see characters fromDiablo I, more characters fromDiablo II, and characters from some of the books. We’re definitely going to bring a few of them in.”
Wilson also adds that while Blizzard is trying their best to “bring this storyline to a close,” it won’t be the end of theDiablofranchise, as they’ve “got plans beyond.” So what sort of direction do you thinkDiablomight go in after III? Are there any time periods, characters, or infernal monsters you’d like future games to focus on?
