"We know what many of you are hoping for and we can only say that 'good things come to those who wait,' but evil things often take longer. We appreciate your patience as our teams work tirelessly to create nightmarish experiences worthy of the Lord of Terror."

What does that mean to you? That mean: "Diablo IV might not coming this year, sadly."

So you better not keep your hope up too high while waiting for Blizzcon this year.

All those speculations about Diablo IV comes from an announcement from Blizzard earlier this year. In those announcements, Blizzard said that they were working on several projects for the Diablo franchise. The start of these projects is a Nintendo Switch port of Diablo III, coming on November 2nd, 2018.
