Starcraft II first, then Diablo III, says Blizzard VP


Blizzard's next major game release is, of course, the World of Warcraft expansion pack Wrath of the Lich King but for those of you who are wondering which game will come next from the developer, rest easy. Wired's new chat with Blizzard VP Rob Pardo he states that their recently revealed Diablo III "will definitely be out after Starcraft II" In fact Pardo states that the wait for Diablo III may be longer than some people believe, saying "....the reality is we have a very small portion of the game done right now. "

The Wired chat also goes through some other topics including Blizzard's view on DRM where Pardo states, "The thing that I think helps us, is that since our games have such a huge multiplayer component, Battle.net really is our most effective DRM. If you wanna play online on Battle.net with other players you're going to have to have a legitimate copy. 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."
