=Blizzard Job Openings=
[[Image:Icon topsecret.gif|frame]]Blizzard's [http://www.blizzard.com/us/jobopp/ Employment Opportunities page] lists dozens of job openings at the ever-growing company, and quite a few of the designer, artist, programmer, and other game-related jobs are tagged with a Top Secret icon. Other icons are for World of Warcraft and Starcraft II, the only announced Blizzard games.
As for the job openings themselves, quite a few sound like they are overtly for a position on the Diablo Sequel, whether it's an MMO or not. A couple of current openings, as of April 2008.
