The prospect of a console-bound Diablo III has been long hinted at through numerous job listings, and today, Blizzard finally made it official. Bliz community manager Bashiok casually made mention of the in-development project on Twitter earlier today:

Yup. Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo console project.

While no further details were provided, it’s still nice to receive an official confirmation on this. Although Blizzard’s roots are firmly established in the PC, they have ventured over to consoles in the past. The original Diablo was released on PSOne and in a bizarre move, StarCraft even made it over to the N64. Certainly, Diablo is the most console friendly of its franchises so we’re not surprised to hear it is making the jump once again.
