I have to say, it was hidden in plain sight.
Heaven will probably play a part as big as hell in this game. And how do I know that?
Because of the new Diablo "logo" http://www.diii.net/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=726&size=big&cat=550
As any logo designer can tell you, a logo has to transmit as much information as possible, without being too complex.
If you remember, the old Diablo logos, were surronded fire, and that gave us a sense of an Infernal game, a Hell theme.
Now check the new one, (which in the trailers show up with a heavenly/church choir voice singing)
HALF of it is fire (the bottom part, as hell is below heaven), the III are made of fire, and the symbol is made of red lines.The upper half III are made of light, and the symbol is bright and gold. Not to mention Tyrael appearing in the Diablo3 front page.
If you put yourself in the designer's shoes, what other reason would you have to make a logo half heaven half hell? I tell you, IF we visit hell, like in D2, we'll also visit heaven, FOR SURE
Edit: Sorry, I guess I wasn't the first to notice this, other posts mention it too
