Diablo 3's next expansion is named "Reaper of Souls"?
Well we can definitely say the past few hours have been interesting. After uncovering the trademarking of The Dark Below yesterday, it looks like the teaser for the next Diablo 3 expansion just went live.


According to the official website "Reaper of Souls" is a trademark and linked to Diablo 3, with Gamescom coming up next week it wouldn't be surprising to see the expansion for Diablo 3 announced there.

More importantly, it rules out The Dark Below as the next Diablo 3 expansion and makes things a lot more interesting suddenly.

    Why not?

    There's a lot of questions left totally unanswered from the main storyline

    1) Where's the Black Soulstone?
    2) What of Adria? Where'd she go after turning Leah into The Prime Evil?
    3) Is it possible Leah's soul is inside the Black Soulstone, and that perhaps she kept The Prime Evil's power "restrained"
    4) If #3 is correct, could we rescue her soul?
    5) If #3 is correct, how powerful would The Prime Evil truly be?

    Because of what Diablo 3 was.

    I logged on last week after ages. Got on my DH, looked at the AH, I had 4Million Gold and items were going for 2 BILLION gold...

    So yeah. All I want from the D3 expansion is to know the story. That's it

    Im keeping my hopes up on this.... D2 wasn't good until Lord of Destruction.. So im hoping D3 will be great once the Xpac drops..

    I bet it's going to be Imperius that gets corrupted and is the final boss.

    Urgh, I wanted the legion. :/

    Also the Dark Below is such an unimaginative title for wow. Just as bad as Cataclysm.

    I hope the Dark Below isn't the WoW expansion. I was really hoping we'd get to fight the Burning Legion again in the next expansion.

    You have 2K11 in your name, any comment you make about one of the best game franchises ever made is irrelevant.

    Diablo can only get better with an expansion, look at D2 pre-LoD it was, lets face it... shit. After LoD the game really started to shine, the exact same thing will happen for a diablo 3 expansion.

    Still laughing at the people claiming The Dark Below would be D3 related when there's way too many references to it in Warcraft related stuff for it to not be WoW related.

    So the return of the angel of death. Sounds cool enough, hope they add a new class. Hopefully the story for the xpac wont be absolute shit like the story for D3, I don't think I can take another demon lord with boobs -_-.

    There are exactly two references in all of Warcraft lore (1 canon and 1 non-canon) to "The Dark Below".

    That's not impossible, just unlikely.

    Ra-Den, Ozumat, both in-game, RPG book (non-canon) and Stormrage (canon).
    Ozumat having the title <Fiend of the Dark Below> and Ra-Den mentioning it indirectly but quite obvious should be enough. There's nothing other than "Diablo falling from heaven" in D3 that could be related to it, but since The Dark Below was mentioned/referenced multiple times in Warcraft that's completely off the board. Blizz pulls weird stunts, but this would be stupidity at it's finest if The Dark Below was D3 related.
