Diablo 3 Release Date

Of course everyone comes to the site and asks about the D3 release. That is the whole point of the site. Well right now I think we have to assume that Blizzard is pushing off Diablo 3 release date into 2011. The primary reason for this is that Starcraft II was already confirmed as a release for June 27, 2010. If Diablo III was ready for this date then I think we would have seen an announcement already. Blizz has never released two major releases on the same day. Due to this confluence of events, initiated with release announcements, launch announcements, and new product announcemnets in the Diablo and Starcraft universes, always happening in June  - then unless Blizzard is looking to get this product out before Christmas, a turnover this year is highly unlikely.

Once Blizzard gets set on a path they rarely deviate from it. So this series of announcements – D2 release Jun 27, D3 announcement June 26, Starcraft II release June 27 – it seems like they will stick to this mantra and give us a June date. With June already starting up, it’s not likely to be this year.

So unfortunately all the incredibly patient and ravenous Diablo 3 Fans are going to have to wait until next year for their delicious release.
