Knowing Blizzard Entertainment, Diablo III is more of a “when” than an “if.” A recent job posting on Blizzard’s employment opportunities page reveals that the “team behind Diablo I and II” is currently seeking a lead 3D level designer.

The team behind Diablo I and II is looking for a skilled lead 3D level designer with experience building levels using Maya or other similar 3D level building tools. The ideal candidate has experience creating levels in a senior or lead role on a shipped game. We would also like for this candidate to have excellent analytical understanding of competitive online play with various Blizzard Entertainment games and mods (real-time strategy, World of Warcraft, Defense of the Ancients, etc.). The lead level designer needs to be able to create fun and interesting environments that look and play great while managing and mentoring a team of additional level designers. Skills in scripting or general 3D modeling/texturing are preferred.

Of course, this job posting is a far cry from a direct confirmation that Diablo III is in development, but it does give a small glimmer of hope.
