Diablo fans who are expecting Diablo III to release this year will be disappointed as Blizzard announced today that it will ship in Early 2012.
“With every game we make, the temptation is always very strong to launch as soon as possible. However, we didn’t put so many years of work into Diablo III to release a game that was almost ready. The beta test is going very well, and we look forward to making the most of the extra time we’re taking to deliver an experience that lives up to our vision for the game and the expectations of our players. Next year is going to be an incredibly busy one for Blizzard, and we hope an incredibly fun one for Blizzard gamers.” – Mike Morhaime, CEO and Co Founder of Blizzard Entertainment.
Since Diablo III will not be released this year, Blizzard would like to make sure that everything will go smoothly on launch next year by extending the closed beta test, which began several days ago. If you would like to participate in the beta, simply visit your Battle.net account and sign up for a chance to participate in the beta!
