Blizzard: No Diablo 3 Release for 2010


Recommended Posts

Much news and excitement has derived from BlizzCon today but a release for Diablo III next year is not happening. CEO Mike Morhaime has confirmed that the just-revealed World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm and StarCraft II are the two titles the company expects to hit in 2010.

Not sure about most of you folks but, these World of Warcraft expansions are coming out rather pretty quick and it just keeps coming. Just one year after their release of Lich King, they plan for a second, and in less than another year apart it?ll be out again. This comes in no surprise to me but it still is a huge disappointment.

Its become a trend of Blizzard to announce their games at least 2 years before the actual release date, forcing us to wait in agony. Not sure if this would actually build hype or lost of interest but their games has always hit at full force. With the ?Next Gen MMO? and a new IP, I wouldn?t be surprised if Diablo 3 gets pushed back to 2012, but lets keep our fingers crossed and hope for 2011.

If you?ve missed it, Blizzard also revealed the Monk class with a new trailer and gameplay video.

Sad, but this won't kill the hype train at all - Blizzard are the best at prolonging releases to better their product (even better then Valve, IMO). They don't keep releasing information every few weeks if they know it won't be released any time soon.

I seriously doubt, diablo 3 or starcraft 2 will be very good games. I mean look at the big picture, Blizzard basically hasn't released a new game for over 5 years. I don't think they have the necessary experience and people to make titles like they used to. Ever since WoW, they just milked the cow, and released recycled content over and over again. They can't possibly keep up with current game trends and quality.

Plus, a lot of their best developers left for other companies. I don't expect much from these games nor should other people because they might end up being very dissapointed.

Diablo 3's delay only confirm the fact that Blizzard has lost most of it's touch.

Haha, what?

Blizzard have always released games when they want to. Diablo 3 hasn't been delayed at all, they haven't actually announced a date yet. They just said it's not coming in 2010, like people expected.

Also, Blizzard have still been developing content within that five years, for games such as Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. This is like saying Silicon Knights can't turn out a great game because they've only released 1 in like 7 years.

Dont know why people even bother to wait for blizzard games? You know that starcraft II is finished and diablo III probably too. They just play ******* with the people to get them wait in pain so they have to buy it when it comes out. And wait... starcraft and diablo is just a boring game anyways. But noone will admit its boring and dull because they have waited for SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many years for this shitt! Thats the brand of blizz. Keep em waiting and hype up the ****ty game almost for ever. lol

Well... blizzard keeps pukeing out wow expansions then. Destroy the poor people who are addicted. I hope blizz rot in hell.

My point was that, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 won't be amazing, OMG so great.. games. Yes,they will be good games but not as good as people expect. They will copy the good things from other games, refine them a tiny bit and that's about it. And as I was saying, Blizzard lost some darn good people that lead the development of some of their best games.

Bitter much? If you don't like the game(s) then don't come into this topic to whine about it.

2011 for Diablo III?! Damnit.. :(

Now to be perfectly correct that is not promised. There is no release date for D3, even though 2011 is probable. Seeing how Blizzard pushed Starcraft 2 into 2010, it's not unlikely Diablo 3 will also be pushed back.

Back in the 90's Blizzard first promised Diablo 2 in 1998. They missed that and then said 1999. They missed that too and it was released in 2000.

We need WoW to die and to get as many expansions packs out as possible before we consider getting a game from any other franchise out of Blizzard.

Typical Blizzard fashion. I bet they release along side of WINDOWS 8!

Just think Direct X 11 and Windows 7 will be a thing of the past by the time this came is released. They would rather spend their time and effort on that WoW junk. Game was great, don't get me wrong, FOUR years ago. It just needs to die already. No one I've talked to is even remotely happy about the new WoW expansion. Wake up Blizzard, WoW is getting stale...move on!
