Recent rumours that Diablo 3 will be announced in the next issue of the US edition of PC Gamer have been debunked by the magazine.
"We're officially squelching the Diablo rumour," said the editor to Voodoo Extreme. "We've got two big announcements coming in our August issue, but neither is from Blizzard."
The rumour originated when Gamer wrote that the August issue contained a "secret that [they're] just dying to blurt out, but [they] can't for another month, and the stress of holding it in makes you want to do the pee-pee dance?"
Based on this, the internet decided the magazine was referring to Diablo 3. The source of the rumour, Blizz Planet, based its conclusion on the following:
PC Gamer was probably among the Gaming press Magazines who visited Blizzard Entertainment early on May, a few weeks ago.
PC Gamer knew about the Starcraft II announcement last May 2007.
PC Gamer can't talk about it for the next 30 days. The 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals at Paris, France takes place on June 28-29.
June 29 is the date Diablo II shipped on USA (2000) and the same date the expansion Lord of Destruction shipped on Europe a year later (2001).
Notice how PC Gamer replaces a swearing with [CENSORED]? Could this be a clue as to what the game they refer to is? Because CENSORED really sounds like HELL... as in... Diablo?
Solid evidence you've got there, chaps. You should start a detective agency or something.
