不管是國內還是國外大型游戲網站的最期待游戲排行版上《暗黑破壞神3》的字樣總是會出現在玩家的視野里，由此可見其受關注的程度，最近據一位不愿透露姓名的員工提及，暴雪已經確認《暗黑3》將會在2011年發布，但卻未透露游戲的具體發行日期，前兩天的動視暴雪電話會議上CEO Mike Morhaime 確認游戲鎖定2011年。（消息并未的到確認）

接下來是從國外某網站上轉載過來的原話：

Blizzard has announced to release Diablo 3 next year. Diablo3 is another themed action role playing game which is sequel to the original game Diablo released in 1997. The game is set in the world of sanctuary, a world of dark fantasy which was saved years ago by the unnamed heroes in Diablo 2. The players from the Diablo 2 returns to Sanctuary to confront evil in its many forms. Diablo 3 is the best example of real playing game. Like its predecessor, the player takes the control of a heroic battle to get rid of the world of Diablo the lord of terror engaging in combat with hordes of monsters and challenging bosses. Game has an epic storyline where player gets to journey through different levels ultimately confronting the Diablo.

暴雪已經宣布明年將發布《暗黑3》，《暗黑破壞神3》是著名動作角色扮演游戲《暗黑破壞神2》的續作，游戲故事發生于《暗黑破壞神2》的20年之后一個黑暗的魔幻世界：神圣之殿.......

雖然只是流言但是對于等待了多年了的老玩家來說也算是一種心靈上的安慰了，不管怎么說我們還是繼續等待今年的暴雪嘉年華能透露更多消息吧。
