Speculation has been rampart as Blizzard, creators of WarCraft, StarCraft amongst many others have finally revealed their next project

With a teaser website that has been slowly constructed, and all eyes on StarCraft II information disseminating from the Blizzard studios, most thought the hype was being built for some sort of non Real Time Strategy spin off of StarCraft.

Then there was a small arm of fans wishing for the return of the RSI inducing clicketty click fun of Diablo.  It turns out, this group of frothing mouthed fanatics were correct.  Blizzard announce Diablo III

From the new website unveiled today:
 
Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.

When Deckard Cain returns to the ruins of Tristram's Cathedral seeking clues to new stirrings of evil, a comet from the heavens strikes the very ground where Diablo once entered the world.  The comet carries a dark omen in its fiery being and it calls the heroes of Sanctuary to defend the mortal world against the rising powers of the Burning Hells – and even the failing luminaries of the High Heavens itself.


Poor old New Tristram and surrounds, seems they are to be inundated by the Undead and other beasties that only our intrepid heroes, armed with a speedy mouse finger can vanquish.

Shipping for both PC and Mac, Diablo III has not yet got a release date.
