Blizzard has given its firmest indication to date that Diablo 3 is coming to consoles.
While lead designer Josh Mosqueira stopped short of confirming the port out right during a Gamescom press conference today, he stated that the developer "is very, very serious about bringing the Diablo 3 experience to the console."
He added that, as reported earlier this year (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-11-15-diablo-iii-heading-to-consoles), Blizzard is currently in the process of recruiting a team to handle a potential console version of the action RPG sequel.
"Today, we're trying to build the best console team at Blizzard. We're looking for programmers, designers, artists who think their dream job would be to bring Diablo to the console. Trust me, it is a dream job.
"All I can say is it's going to be awesome. Stay tuned."
The PC version of the game is still without a firm release date though an open beta is expected to go live before the end of September.
