After this version of Diablo III was canceled, development commenced on the version that Blizzard currently has in the works. Although there is no release date set, Blizzard hasn’t completely ruled out the possibility of it being released in 2011. If not, two Blizzard games are expected to be released in 2012, one of which might very well be Diablo.
The Diablo III we know today is much different than the one that was originally developed by Blizzard North, and not just in terms of the current art direction that has caused some fans to whine. Prior to Blizzard North’s closure in 2005, it had been developing a new Diablo game that wasn’t up to par. The game was canceled and Blizzard North was shut down.

The public was never afforded a look at the Diablo game it was working on. That has changed today, as Kotaku has gotten its hands on 17 screenshots of the game. They depict a Paladin-like character in three different areas (Keep, Angelic Lands, and Heaven) and an interface much like Diablo II’s. Judging by nothing other than the screenshots, it doesn’t look like Blizzard had changed the series’ formula very much. As a Diablo fan, it still gets me excited even if I’m not too keen on the way it looks from a visual standpoint.
The hero recovers the sword pieces from the Khazra Den and the Drowned Temple, opposed by the witch Maghda, leader of the local cult known as the Dark Coven. Maghda, however, recovers the third piece before the protagonist does and attempts to force Cain to repair the sword. Leah, however, kills the cultists with a surge of magical power, forcing Maghda to kill Cain and flee with the stranger. Cain, before dying, repairs the sword and tasks the protagonist with returning it to the stranger. The protagonist pursues Maghda into the bowels of King Leoric’s dilapidated torture chambers underneath his manor, rescuing the stranger and returning to him his sword after a violent fight with the Butcher. The stranger’s memories are recovered, and it is revealed that he is the arch-angel Tyrael, the Aspect of Justice. Disgusted with his fellow angels’ unwillingness to protect humanity from the forces of Hell, Tyrael cast aside his divinity to become a mortal and warn Sanctuary about the arrival of the demon lords Belial (Lord of Lies) and Azmodan (Lord of Sin).
