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?

Diablo 3 in planning?
I just listened to the new BlizzCast (http://us.blizzard.com/blizzcast), and at the very end, Karune (aka Kevin Yune, the community manager) said:
"I look forward to reading your responses and hope to have you guys join us in our next episode, in which I hope to steal some time from our Blizzard lore guy, Chris Metzen, and perhaps some of the original Diablo II devs for some quick questions."
Could this mean that we might get tipped off about a possible Diablo III? If so, I look forward to the next BlizzCast. Although, if the game is indeed in planning (or even development), they'll have to come up with some great new ideas, because people have been creating Diablo wannabes ever since the original came out, meaning new, revolutionary, innovative ideas will be a must. Knowing Blizzard, though, the game will probably be really good anyway, if they are making it. ;)
