Why the GamesCom Press Invite Might Be About the Diablo III Expansion

Blizzplanet decoded the enigmatic press invite email sent by Blizzard Entertainment to gaming news outlets and, as usual, speculates what its meaning might hint at.

"You are invited to join Blizzard Entertainment at a press conference on the first day of gamescom 2013. We’re making a special announcement that’s sure to capture the attention of the Heavens, Burning Hells and all the shadowed places that lie between.”

The last part of that enigmatic message can be interpreted in two different ways as it sets in "plural" the term "all the shadowed places that lie in between the High Heavens and the Burning Hells"

It might refer to shadowed places of Sanctuary, or it might refer to there is more than just Sanctuary, the High Heavens and the Burning Hells.

In such case, there is undeniable evidence in the lore canon to explain why this tease means Blizzard Entertainment might announce the Diablo III expansion at GamesCom along with a cinematic teaser.

Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.

I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.

All those games had to release without bugs.

Diablo III - Still a Huge Draw in the Face of Diablo IV

Diablo III still works on modern PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and remains hugely playable a decade after initial release.

Are you comparing a continuously improved 10+ years old masterpiece with the... beta of an unreleased game?

Heh, yeah. There's no comparison in here! Its a commentary on how III is still very playable over a decade later.
