After Blizzard community manager Marc "Bashiok" Whiple mentioned on Twitter that Josh Mosqueira is lead designer for the Diablo 3 console project, fans took it as confirmation that Blizzard is indeed developing a console version of the highly-anticipated dungeon-crawler.
But the development studio was quick to fire off explanations as to what Whiple actually meant - and they aren’t confirming anything.
“Bashiok's response on Twitter was intended as a confirmation that we're actively exploring the possibility of developing a console version of Diablo 3, as we've mentioned in the past. This is not a confirmation that Diablo 3 is coming to any console platform,” Blizzard said in a statement.
They also said that at this point they are just trying to finish the versions they are currently busy with. “Our focus right now is on finishing the PC/Mac version of Diablo 3 and making sure it's a worthwhile successor to the Diablo series.”
After Blizzard’s reaction, Whiple took to Twitter again to explain his tweet. “ 'Yup' wasn't meant to be an announcement. We're still exploring a console version, but more importantly working on the PC/Mac version.”
