Diablo 3 2nd Expansion Pack Postponed to 2016

[Torpedoes]

I say better to just dump Diablo 3 and start fresh on D4 because from what I've seen despite the changes and much improved gameplay today, people only come back when new patches come out and then leave shortly thereafter till the next one.

I don't know, I actually quite like that because that means I don't have to invest my life into the game for longer than three weeks at a time.

Here's video commentary by a youtuber on this subject. Posting it as I found his opinions interesting.

What do you guys think of what he has to say?

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.

Seems like the chances are pretty slim considering Blizzard Entertainment at gamescom 2016

In celebration of Diablo’s 20th anniversary, visitors to the Blizzard booth will be able to play all three Diablo games
A 3D artist from the Diablo development team will create a piece of artwork live on the Blizzard stage

I think we'll most likely see Diablo 2 HD remake, but you never know.

Did you hear about the diablo dice and number 4 ?

I've read about it, found it pretty funny. Don't get me wrong, would be totally awesome, but I think people are grasping at straws.

Didnt one of the Devs who left the Company leak a while ago that they are already working on D4 ? i think it was shortly before last season (should have been spring this year) could be my mind playing games again after all

A Blizzard employee said something along the lines of "Next year, Diablo fans are going to have their minds blown." Not too long after, a blizzard employee was let go. Who knows if it was the same person, or if the information means anything.
