Diablo 3 Release Date

Yes, that’s right. Culled from various sources it seems the Diablo III Release Date will finally be set as April 17th 2012. The game long awaited by so many fans is finally able to peek its head out from under the game cover and provide release to all those lying in suspense for its inevitable crescendo.

How can we get this date in final form? We have two main sources for these facts. First, Blizzard has confirmed that recent layoffs will not affect the release date of Diablo 3.

Second, we’ve examined some data posted by gamepur regarding Activision’s Italy division. The information they received comes off of the MMORPG Italia website . Taken from the site and translated it roughly states that:

Activision has revealed Italy to several large retailer’s Italian release date, though it still remains unconfirmed by Blizzard. The date would be the April 17, and prices are now set at € 54.90 for the standard edition and € 89.90 for the Collector.

Amazon and other sources have updated their date to April 17th as well. So for everyone waiting for our good friend Diablo to emerge, you lying in wait in should be over soon. Hang onto those joysticks just a little longer!
Don’t forget to pick up the Collector’s Edition, which is Blizzard’s premiere product with unique features not found in standard.

Could we be asked this question more than we have already? The reality is that Blizzard is responsible for giving us a release date which makes it quite difficult to distinguish a proper timeframe for the instore or download date.

Previous rumors put the D3 date at August 2010 but we remain skeptical. Blizzard is typically late with releases and we expect Diablo 3 to be no exception. Is your goal to read more about the upcoming release of D3 or to actually learn about the gameplay? We have a number of articles that should help you find your way.

In other words, once the Diablo 3 Release Date is posted and live, we’ll be the first to get you out there playing with free downloads, free guides, maps, quests and everything else that Diablo will have to offer.
