Blizzard Job Listing Sends Diablo 3 Console Rumors into Overdrive

Well then, what do we have here? A Senior Producer job listing on Gamasutra implicitly confirming that oft-rumored console version of Diablo 3? Certainly looks like it, however Blizzard is remaining coy for now, saying that the job listing “is not an announcement” and that Diablo 3 is “first and foremost” a PC title.

Still, Senior Producers with triple-A title experience don’t come cheap, so if nothing else it shows that the developer is serious about the possibility of bringing Diablo 3 to consoles. Then again, we already kinda knew that.

Join us after the jump to read Blizzard’s full statement…

“We’re exploring a Diablo-related concept for consoles and are currently looking to fill a few senior console-related positions on the Diablo III team,”

“As we’ve said in the past, with proper care the gameplay could suit the console platform, and we’re interested in seeing what talent out there might be interested in such a project. If you’re passionate about all things Diablo and have the requisite skill and experience, then head over to our jobs site to check out the positions and apply.”

“Please note that this is not an announcement of a console title. We are first and foremost developing Diablo III for Windows and Mac PCs and don’t intend to allow any possibility of a console interpretation to delay or affect the release of the game.”
