Blizzard hiring; mentions Diablo series - possible Diablo 3?

Blizzard has posted a new job description, and it might be of interest to Diablo fans:

"Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for a lead 3D environment artist skilled at creating models and texture maps for both architectural and natural environments. The ideal candidate has experience modeling and texturing assets for a diverse visual range of environments."

Notice that they only mention the Diablo series. Although this is only speculative guessing, it is possible that Diablo 3, or a similar game is in the works. Of course, that would mean a lot of work, since they're already working on Starcraft 2 (which looks to be about finished), and the new WoW expansion.

What are your thoughts?

Hmm, what I think is thaaaaat... It's rather a thin piece of evidence, yet it is one nevertheless. I wonder if it might have been written that way to throw everyone on a false trail, though?

Aye, I suppose that's possible. I don't see why Blizzard would do that though, but yes, it is a possibility.
