Blizzard: Diablo 3 Out After StarCraft 2
Confirming rampant speculation, Blizzard design VP Rob Pardo confirmed that Diablo III will “definitely be out after StarCraft II”.
In an interview with Wired, Pardo also talked about the company’s plans for DRM and digital distribution.
"Battle.net really is our most effective DRM," he said. "That’s really kinda been the thing that’s always saved us from a lot of the PC piracy that I think hurts a lot of other single-player-only games."
The company plans on relying on the multiplayer service for its upcoming releases. He also talked about Steam, noting that Blizzard plans on supporting its own digital distribution service.
StarCraft II is expected sometime in 2009.
