Activision SEC filing mentions Diablo 'sequels'
Activision SEC filings sure have gotten interesting lately, haven't they? First we learned that the company ousted the heads of Infinity Ward, then we saw World of Warcraft listed as a potential risk and now we have word that Blizzard is currently developing Diablo sequels. Take a breath and read that again: Sequels, as in "more than one." Yes, the very same SEC filing mentions that Blizzard is currently hard at work on Cataclysm, StarCraft II and "sequels to the Diablo franchise." It's very possible, and even likely, that the filing refers to Diablo III and its inevitable expansions (which had better include the Necromancer). It's also possible that the phrasing is meant as a forward-looking statement, stating that Blizzard continues to work on the Diablo franchise. It's also worth noting that the same SEC filing refers to "development of a sequel" to the game, so reference to "sequels" could simply be a mistake. Or maybe, just maybe, Blizzard is pumping out more Diablo than we thought. When reached for comment, a Blizzard representative told Joystiq, "We don't have any new announcements to make." He added, "For the Diablo franchise, our full focus is on Diablo III." So that means it's coming out really soon, right? Right?
BlizzCon 2009: The new Battle.net and WoW
The BlizzCon Battle.Net + Starcraft II panel revealed some interesting tidbits about how the new Battle.Net will communicate and interact with not only Starcraft II, but other current and future Blizzard games -- including WoW. By adding someone to your BNet friends list, you can see when they're online in games that you play. This means that. for example, if your friend Alex Ziebart is playing SC2 and you're in WoW, you'll be able to see that he's online -- and even send him a message if you desire, a la Steam's community overlay.But wait, there's more! If you and Alex are real-life friends, and approve each other as as much on BNet, you'll also be able to tell more detailed information at a glance on your WoW friends list, like what server Alex is currently playing on, or whether he's actually playing Diablo 3. A proposed feature is to let you log out of whatever game you're in and jump into whatever game Alex is playing and join him! The friends list will work very similarly in all of the BNet-ready games.It sounds like a great improvement, and very XBox Live -- which I gather is the point. BlizzCon 2009 is here!
