Activision Blizzard reveal obvious forthcoming titles in fact sheet photo

The following should surprise no one, but you should sit down, just in case. There is a Call of Duty 5, a Guitar Hero IV, and a new Tony Hawk game "in the pipeline." I know, this is mind-blowing stuff, but we're not just pulling it out of our rears. These titles, and more, have been revealed an Activision Blizzard PDF fact sheet.

Along with numbers and wording that details what an awesome super power the publisher will become, the fact sheet also reveals that a new racing title by Blizzard is in the works, new Marvel Comics-related titles, as well as games based off of DreamWorks properties. The fact sheet also mentions the forthcoming James Bond title, and makes a point to mention Diablo as a key franchise. 

Sequels and properties based off of licensed properties likely won't have you worked up, and shouldn't have anyone surprised. But the mention of Diablo as a key franchise at least hints at a sequel ... right? Well, I guess that's not very surprising either, now is it?

Oh the joy of yet more filth spewing out of their hatches. You would think a goliath like that could come up with something new, but I suppose the lawyers don't like a game that hasn't been tried and tested before and is sure to rake in the moolahs.

Pisses me off that Blizzard is ranked with these fucking amateurs just because of ownership etc.

Diablo is still a good selling series and has a huge playerbase, given that they'd be dumb to not make a sequel sooner rather than later, but last time we heard from a high-up blizzard rep the answer was don't hold your breath.

Also, racing game = ?! Rock'n'Roll Racing 2?

Rock'n'Roll Racing 2 would be fun, need a lot of new added features to fit the gamers needs nowdays though. I'm pretty psyched about the Diablo news, wether or not its happening soon. Hopefully they'll keep the old school feel of Diablo if and when they get to it.

A Diablo sequel is not very newsworthy, but only because it was promised to us RTS nerds several years ago.

Still makes me all giddy inside hearing it's name though.

People on Xbox's playing wow would get eaten alive by PC users because of the UI and macro system and all wow is these days is Arena.

so how many of you read the PDF? The synopsis has it wrong, the PDF states under About Activision, "entry into racing with Bizzare." Not Blizzard. So the racing game is either called Bizzare, which would go along with the other titles mentioned because of italics, or maybe Bizzare studios.
