<p>Although a console port of <a class="zem_slink" title="Dungeon crawl" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_crawl" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">dungeon-crawler</a> <em><a class="zem_slink" title="Diablo III" href="http://www.blizzard.com/diablo3/?rhtml=y" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Diablo III</a></em> has still yet to be officially announced by <a class="zem_slink" title="Blizzard North" href="http://www.blizzard.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Blizzard</a>, the developer has once again mentioned that is it an option they are exploring, and has now gone so far as to confirm that it has &#8220;builds up and running on it.&#8221;</p>
<p>Blizzard Chief Creative Officer <a class="zem_slink" title="Rob Pardo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Pardo" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Rob Pardo</a> told <a href="http://www.polygon.com/2012/12/10/3752536/diablo-3-running-on-consoles-still-not-an-official-blizzard-project" target="_blank">Polygon</a> that, &#8220;We&#8217;re still kind of exploring it. We&#8217;ve got builds up and running on it. We&#8217;re hoping to get it far enough along where we can make it an official project, but we&#8217;re not quite ready to release stuff about it, but it&#8217;s looking pretty cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>In another interview, Lead Designer Jay Wilson stated that Blizzard is still &#8220;exploring console options&#8221; and that &#8220;The whole team is essentially working on the next big Diablo thing. A lot of that stuff will show up next year at some point.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s safe to assume that this involves the <em>Diablo III</em> expansion pack which Blizzard has confirmed as being in development.</p>
