They also spilled some imp-beans that the third instalment will be set 20 years after the events of Lord of the Destruction. There’s no word on a release schedule.
Blizzard’s VP Frank Pearce has said in an ongoing press conference that it’s going to use a ”brand new 3D engine that we developed in-house,” though they’ve yet to declare its name.
He also stated it was ”far too early in development for us to put a release date for it,” Pearce did confirm there to be a MAC version coming too.
The games length will be ”similar to Diablo II” and has drawn its inspirations from World of Warcraft and Zelda said lead designer Jay Wilson.
