We have the alleged box art for Blizzard's Diablo III now available to drool over provided the Polish retailer didn't just get bored and make up a placeholder.

It looks rather convincing and appears to advertise a code for World of Warcraft on the front, which StarCraft 2 did. This is as close as we can get right now people!

The Blizzard development plate is already heavy with Diablo III, StarCraft II and their new 'Titan' MMO, but they've obviously got a side-dish or two spare.

The veteran PC studio outfit wants a software engineer for their "newest game team". It doesn't appear linked to 'Titan' as it's under a different category.

Back in 2001 Blizzard North began work on Diablo III but it could have been a very different demonic beast that what it is today reveals Runic Games' Max Schaefer.

The former Blizzard man says they were "going the MMO route," as they wanted a much bigger world with "many more players" able to join in. WoW 'not an issue'.

Keeping development of World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Diablo III and the 'Titan' MMO project forever held close to the Blizzard studio chest is hard work.

Amazingly those are just the ones Blizzard let us get our gamer noses stuck into, because they've actually got "lots of projects" behind closed doors.

No worries if 'Titan' leeches off WoW, "still a Blizzard customer"

Blizzard co-founder Frank Pearce says they "recognize that somewhere, sometime" World of Warcraft's populace will be cannibalized, but hopefully by 'Titan'.

At least that way they're "still a Blizzard customer." There's plenty more room for big MMO titles "to share customers," and grow the global MMO market.
