Conspiracy theorists! Pay attention here! Blizzard is advertising for a new art director for Diablo 3. Could it be that Diablo 3 will indeed get that 'moodier, darker' look? In a word...

NO

Check out Blizzard's response at Shack News to stories flying around the 'net

"Regarding Brian (Morrisroe), he recently resigned to form a startup technology company (outside the game industry), which is why we've posted about the open position," a Blizzard representative told Shacknews in an email correspondence.

"This change won't impact the game... we're really pleased with the look and feel that Brian helped create for Diablo III, and the new person we bring on board will work with the other artists on the team to maintain the art style moving forward."

So if that explanation doesn't satisfy the CTers, nothing will. Here...have a Godly Tinfoil Hat of the Whale!
