E3 2005: The RPG Landscape

RPGDot has profiled many of the RPGs we can expect to be shown at this year’s E3, including such titles as Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights 2, and Hellgate: London. They’ve also speculated on a handful of RPGs that may or may not be announced at the show:

Rumours of two projects in development at Blizzard North have circulated for some time (with one subsequently cancelled) and in February we noticed Blizzard advertising for a Lead Game Designer to “head up the Blizzard North team that created Diablo and Diablo 2”. Just recently a musician claims to have travelled to the Slovak Republic (where the soundtrack for Diablo II: Lord of Destruction was recorded) to record the music for Diablo III. While this is sketchy information and the timeline is unclear, it does seem possible Diablo III could be revealed at E3 – but mark this one down as a long shot.
