A couple of leaked images are suggesting a Diablo 3 expansion reveal at BlizzCon in November.
Two digital images sent over to AllGamesBeta via justleak.it show what appears to be some kind of reveal, possibly for an expansion called Diablo 3 Sword of Wisdom. There’s no way to verify if these are actually real but they could be part of a teaser that would be used by Blizzard at Gamescom next week to get the hype train rolling. The title Sword of Wisdom does sound a little weak for an expansion name and we can’t find any trademark filing so it could be fake.
Blizzard did recently poll the community over a possible expansion and it’s common knowledge that they plan multiple expansions as indicated on the product slate that was leaked a while back (see below). If the images are real then there is always the possibility it’s for some other product tie-in such as book.
Is this the name of a new Diablo 3 expansion? I guess we’ll find out soon enough, either next week or in November. For now we’ll file in the rumour bin.
Discussion on their legitimacy is now on-going over on Diablo: IncGamers and thanks FoxMulder over on the community forums for the tip.
Since posting this earlier this evening, Blizzard has rather unusually responded with…
