Blizzard has postponed to announce 2nd Diablo III expansion in 2016 at GamesCom ?
Update: Blizzard postponed 2nd Diablo 3 expansion to 2016 @Gamescom? for internal reasons, but the expansion is still to be announced at a later date, as it is in full work sources confirm.
UPDATE JULY 2016.
From my knowledge the expansion was delayed, but was expected to be released last year at Blizzcon 2015. It has been confirmed here at Forbes. I was right from beginning that the expansion was to expect from 2015, yet Blizzard decided to delay for unknown reason have been confirmed by Forbes.

There is 2 scenario left.
1. Second Diablo 3 Expansion is released at GamesCom or Blizzcon 2016.
2. The Diablo 3 is infinity dead and they will focus on D4, but that is far away we could think possible 2019?
Yet there is indicators that the D3 expansion will come out at GamesCom 2016.
- They have invited TOP Diablo 3 streamers to Gamescom
- There have been a leak with up to 16 tourment
- Devil's hand leak (feature)
- Act 6 and act 6 boss in data leak with latest 2.4.1 patch
- X2_NAME strings in data patch
- Blizzard hire new D3 game director and staff (Old game director & staff leaves blizzard.)
These are a really huge indicators.
As you can see on this data from last patch 2.4.1 there is ACT 6 the VI sign in one of the datasets pictures.
The source confirm the data leaks and screenshots here at BUFFED.DE a big gaming site for Diablo.
About this streamer Rhykker who joined D3 way later then the rest is a guy who try to get easy credit, saying that D3 was not expected to be released by Blizzard in 2015 as Forbes have confirmed that, so its factual wrong what this guy is saying. He really don't know what he is talking about, he just try logically explain everything but that not how the real world works, he have no meta skills.
The main article have this information added to clarify.

UPDATE JULY 2016.
“This is a classic way Blizzard uses in disguising a major release.”
Blizzard did exactly the same thing right before the Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls expansion announcement at GamesCom. It is in fact a major indicator.
“Blizzard is to release the 6th WoW Expansion Legion, Hearthstone Expansion, and Overwatch beta starts Oct 27th, so its makes perfect match Blizzard will announce Diablo 3 Expansion in 2016.”
There is much more hard indicators that confirms:
- Rumors about “The Dark Prophet” has been around since the summer as the name of 2nd Diablo 3 expansion. *
* Source: Nobbie's Gaming Blogs: Diablo 3: The Dark Prophet - "Leaked" Expansion 2 Title? [UPDATED]
- Blizzard has been hiring a producer and other top jobs for Diablo 3 in 2015. It clearly indicates they want to resurrect Diablo 3.
- Blizzard is silent about Diablo 3 at Blizzcon 2015 with no booth or time for dev panels and the show's booth info-graphic indicate they are hiding something. Remember, Blizzard is a master of disguise.
Two New Hints by Blizzard dropped Today: 3 November 2015 about D3 X2 Expansion.
1. DIABLO III AT BLIZZCON! <-- Says straight as it is. The Expansion.

Inarius is closely partner with his lover Lilith and as you see on this picture, he is a key characters in new expansion.
Skovos Isles
Skovos isles has been a major indication by the community as the next expansion area of Diablo III world of sanctuary.

Here is what official Blizzard Blues says about Skovos Isles. (Updated).
What is going down in the Skovos Isles? Lorath and Tyrael are always going on about it. Is this a hint at upcoming new content?
BrianKindregan: Sanctuary is full of deadly surprises, so the New Horadrim that Tyrael is sending out to help humanity have high rates of fatality. Skovos seems to be a particularly rough place to get assigned.
But many other parts of Sanctuary are equally dangerous, so Skovos is just the topic at hand between Lorath and Tryael.
So how about those Skovos Isles, guys?
BrianKindregan: Skovos is a dangerous place!
Diablo 3 PvP ?
Diablo 3 PvP Battle Field Arena is finally coming this picture indicate.
More arena PvP battles confirmed in data files:
"I found X2_ZPVP_CATH_01.wrl under Data\Base\Worlds\, where X*-prefix most likely indicates the expansion version."
New Class
A new and old friend will be coming back to Diablo 3: Necromancer/Druid Class
Will the Amazon will be coming back as 6th Diablo 3 class ?
It is highly likely that we can expect much more to be leaked with domain name, expansion name and other cool stuff within next week!
Are you excited yet?
Head over to our Diablo III forums and join the army of Hell in the World of Sanctuary.
