Blizzard Apparently Squashes ‘Diablo 4’ Rumours For BlizzCon

Blizzard giveth, and Blizzard taketh away.

With Blizzard releasing new Diablo merch ahead of BlizzCon, speculation was that the new merchandise was in anticipation of a new Diablo game. Unfortunately, Blizzard has squashed that in a new blogpost.

“BlizzCon 2018 is almost here and we’ve seen a lot of rumors flying around about our plans for Diablo at the show,” the post reads. “These are very exciting times — we currently have multiple teams working on different Diablo projects and we can’t wait to tell you all about them… when the time is right.”

The post does acknowledge that Blizzard will be sharing Diablo-related news (most likely the Netflix series), but also does suggest that Diablo 4 won’t be announced.

“We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that ‘good things come to those who wait,’ but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror.”

Meanwhile, Diablo III: Eternal Collection for the Nintendo Switch will be out the first day of BlizzCon on November 2nd. And if you haven’t snagged a Switch, that Limited Edition Switch bundle at GameStop seems plenty of an incentive to do that.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
