Diablo 3 Release Date
July 1, 2008 by Zuggy
While no official release date has been announced yet for Diablo 3, there has been much speculation to a potential “ball park” figure on the launch date for the much anticipated title. Needless to say, it’s going to be a big year with as many releases as blizzard has planned for the near future.
A recent leak from Blizzard’s parent company, Vivendi revealed that the newest World of Warcraft expansion is due sometime in the fall of 2008. In addition, Starcraft II is also due out around Christmas.
So what does this tell us? Well, if anything it reveals a pattern of release timing. After the first announcement of each of these respective games their release dates were scheduled between 8 and 12 months later. I believe this same scenario should hold true for Diabo III.
This would put the game’s release date between March and July of 2009. A release date during this time fame allows Blizzard’s other title releases to soak up all the economic benefit to further bolster the companies revenues for the 2008 fiscal year. With no current releases or expansions scheduled for the 2009 year, it would be a pretty bleak stock outlook for the company to not release a game before Q2, or at the very latest Q3 of 2009.
Of course, all of this is just purely speculation, but with any luck we’ll here of a leaked release date in the coming weeks and months as the rapid development of this much anticipated title continues.

hurry the fuck up i want to play it!!!! love u blizzard
You’re telling me man! I’m so pumped for this game…it’s a shame it’s so far off. Had to play a bit of old school D2 last night just to relive the glory days…haha
Based on the screen shots it looks like the game is already made, I really hope this gets released sooner .. can’t wait an entire year :(
I hope so too, but you know Blizzard…they have never been one to release a game that wasn’t 100% polished.
i just heard that the release date was november 3rd 2008! its been ona few websites ive been on!!!!!!!!!
Wow, if that turns out to be true I would be VERY surprised, but if it is that’d just be awesome. I’m going to try and look up some of my blizzard insider friends and see if i can get some sort of confirmation on that.
No it wont be released this year, my dad works for blizzard he’s the GM of arc files, he said something about mid-year in 2009 or late 2009 around christmas.
Any time during 09 works for me, this sounds like an official confirmation from thepwn! =D
Fuck you blizzard… why did u have to announce this now… now im just gonna have to play D2 and jerk off to it while i wait around for D3… assholes
D3 will be remembered as Duke Diablo Forever….i tell ya
at least give us a beta with 1 or 2 chars we can fuck around on whilst me wait . btw this game is going to be fucking insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(going crazy now.)
This game is going to be immense. i cant wait, as above also.. i played D2 last night for a little blast for first time in 6 years odd’
Fantastic i cannot wait!! Hopefully blizzard get it right witht emultiplayer side of things as thats going to be HUGE. wow can gtf compared to this :P
funny you’d say that chris, I recently had to give it a re-install for old time sakes. Even after not playing in 6 years it was still a blast..probably going to have to give it a few more days! =D
but man..D3 is just going to be killer. hopefully the closed beta starts in the next few months.
Very interesting and well researched thoughts into what the D3 release date will likely be, thanks Zuggy! You’ll earn a reputation if you keep making release date posts with this much thought behind them!
P.S. I hope you’re wrong! DEAD WRONG!! hehe. Bring on a tomorrow release date!
What do you mean install/reinstall D2 after X years? Are you joking? Seriously? I have made sure that I keep it on any rig I happen to be using. I mean wtf are you talking about being away from Diablo 2 for a number of years??? Ok I admit I don’t play it all the time but I like to have it ready for when I feel the need to kill cows or start a fresh squishy level 1 char. I mean this isn’t MS Dungeon Siege here it is Diablo 2. I am planning on taking a break from motorcycles and pretty much every thing else (personal hygene maybe) as soon as D3 hits the shelves. I might even dump what ever ho I am with at that time if she complains. The farm (for real I work on my parents farm down the road from my place) just might go to pot. I by no means am a “gamer” in fact I use to be a drug addict with a gaming habbit. Now I am recovered I play with bikes, but OMG D3 I am so amped!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I need to grab some lube man cause I have been a walking hard on sense the announcement!
Space Out You All
I anticipated this!!!!
My buddy and I have killed Diablo, and his brothers over and over in part 2 till we could take it no more. We need more of a challenge. I’m ready! Diablo can be beat. Never go head on!
i love all….. well most of blizzards game and i cant wait a frikin year. i hope that isnt true
NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Not mid 2009!!! AAHHHH!! I wanna kill diablo for the 3rd time NOW!!!
I think it will be release in the summer of 2009 also, since more people will have time to play during summer. I also remember D2 Exp was released in the summer. I bought it once i heard it was out. Anyway D2 used to be my daily meal. Fed me all the time. :) I hope they still have PK lol, i love PK and trading. I hope it will be more Strategical and chars will be more balanced out. The graphics are awesome.
No doubt it will be released years from now. I have been checking http://www.diablo3release.com and they are posting updates every day but nothing specific about the date – more like info about what’s in the new release.
man I didnt think it would take so long!!!!!!they need to tell us about it closer to the date!!!¡¡¡ why blizzard???¿¿¿
Do you know what’s crap, it sounds like all of you ppl are from the states.
Blizzard always says it will be launched worldwide, but we always get it a couple of months later :(
OMG!!!! DIABLO33333 holy shit!!!!!! i love u wait no am in love with u, i should start planning to kick my gf out of my life
i cant wait to play diablo 2 when does it come out?
i cant wait till diablo 3 comes out im gonna masterbate to it all night!oh itll be so fun!!!
I think the release will be much quiker cos they already have released gameplay
omg i can’t wait for diablo 3! i really hope it comes out this fall and not next year, i think we’ve waited long enough. i bought a new computer with a wide flat screen just to play it :)
d3 will be gay
i sure hope the get battle net right on d3
I love Daiblo One and Two and i wish It would come out sometime in the next cuple months
You are all noobz
People who leave responses with 4 words or less are nor capable of managing complex thoughts. Furthermore, they take their frustrations out by flaming those who can construct a sentence that doesn’t look like a 12 year old wrote it. I’m not naming names; you know who you are.
On another note:
Each release in the Diablo series has been better than the last, so I’m not worried about the playability of the game. Unfortunately, Blizzard has seen the need to charge players to play WOW. Will this obnoxious policy apply to D3 I wonder? Unfortunately for my bank account, I’m going to pay to play if i have to. If I may wax philosophical, that really bites the big wazoo.
Still, Can’t wait, already have an email notification set up. I figured it was either D3 or do drugs (Can’t afford both).
Peace
They wont release it this year they have Starcraft 2 coming out this year, hurry up and wait.
Well the released gameplay vid was just a small dungeon blizz made to show viewers the kind of environment and graphics changes but then again showing you an acual dungeon would have taken far too long so its not to say the game isnt damn near finished. At least blizz waited until it was acually somewhat close to the release instead of revealing it 3 years before the acual release. A mid to late 2009 release would sound about right since the game probably does still need a bit of polishing but overall unless they decide to hold it off for an eternity it should be a pretty good guess that it will be a 2009 release which, honestly, compared to some other titles which did not launch until a few years after the expected release date, i can totally wait for. =)
Ahem, aren’t you people forgetting? The original diablo team is gone, left blizzard years ago. Will that affect the quality of this game? it already has, everyone is complaining that the art style is toony like WoW, well, that’s your first sign that the original team is gone. Don’t get me wrong, I have been waiting for this game for years, and was getting worried it would never be announced. While this could potentially be the best PC game ever, that thought is still haunting, that this is a completely new development team from the epic diablo 2. Before you shoot your load all over the screen when they announce a final release date, keep that in mind that you’re taking an old game and remaking it with a new development team. Could be completely awesome, could also be disappointing, time will tell. I’ll see you all on the game, cheers.
I think the new team might do better. The old team is still working on a game that is 3 years alter, unplayable.
alter=later, sorry typo
i would say this game wont be out until late 2009 maybe even early 2010..they have only barley completed the first act and are working on the second while they are still trying to finish up the characters.and i know they wont release it until they know its completely perfect or else they would receive a shit storm from the fans.
you people dont know what your talking about. your saying fall this year or next year to keep yourself excited. but you know its gonna be about 3 years. thats the way assasins creed was. i watched gameplay trailers 2 years before release. same with fallout 3. still not out, i seen that 2 years ago. and 8 days, still not out, watched gameplay trailers over a year ago. they are going to wait till wow dies down before they release another game. it takes a long time to make games. i went to AIP for game design, so i know
Blizzard are no fools, they wouldnt have announced Diablo 3 if it wasnt far enough into development. I’d say a year – next autumn or xmas. they wont mess it up trust me! i just hope they make it as dark and replayable as Diablo 2 was. I cant wait.
OMFG NO LIE GUYS MY CUZ LET ME PLAY THE BARB!!!!
SWEETEST SHIT EVER!!!!
release date will definetely be sometime between june and august of 09
ASAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP PLEASEEEE I CANT WAIT TO PLAY IT
IM WAY MORE EXCITED ABOUT IT THAN WoW MAKES ME ANYMORE!! haha
While I wont be squirting ova the screen, my hubby is looking forward to making his own dinner for a while! Haha.
Christmas 2009 or March 2010 out of states, release sounds right. Im just pissed that they have only release two charaters. I check every month and am sick of stupid barbarians and whitchdotors. WHAT ELSE!
Blizzard know what they are doing. And if they release something that the fans dont like, then they will change it. Again…
funny thing, i think they are afraid, they are afraid of putting diablo 3 on market, they have a feel like: “omg d3 makes so much fuss, so many fans, we will loose our wow clients, bla bla bla crying” !!! i hope they dont fuk up diablo3, to be playable just once, and not want to play again, if they do this, they are jerks!!! but i can bet they are afraid, diablo has one of the biggest communitys!!
for sure diablo is the biggest most happening game…….i think they r going to release it with a big bang……………maybe around next year feb………hopefully they will release it as fast as they can coz i can wait anymore……………..damn……………….
trading 10 soj for dual leech ring
this game looks pretty sweet, cant wait
when does diablo 3 get realesed
Maybe you should speculate about all those typing errors.
you guys have forgotten that diablo 3 has been in development since 04-05 so im expecting the release to be some time in 09 prob Q4 of 09
As of August 7, 2008, most of Act I is complete in terms of art and design, and Act II is underway. Four of the five classes are operational and at various levels of playability.[21]
I’m so excited for this game but does any one know if blizzard has any thoughts of making it WOW payment style? thats my only concern. and the other question is which classes did they cut?? and how many other new ones will there be sides just the witch doctor??? so if any one can answer these please respond cause those are my big questions. mainly the payment style and if any one has any info in the payment style that they are thinking of please tell me.
yeah u all are retarded d3 is about to drop. sc2 and d3 are going to hit stores this holiday.
I think it wont be released before summer 09. Maybe we get Beta-Versions to test it. Until this i´ll play Diablo II ;)
you guys are all crazy they will relese it early like they did diablo2 and then when they find shit tahs wrong with it they will release patches to fix the mistakes…im sure they wanna release it and make that bread…yall know wha’m sayin
uknome is right, can’t you guys just wait?
well some of your guyes estimations are somewhat similar to mine, im not for sure about a next year release??? im thinking more around like Jan to Mar of 2010, because the variations the are trying to incorperate into the game. and from the looks of the trailer its far from being completed. i wouldnt be getting all ancy for an early release, take d2 for example diablo was released in 97, d2 2000, and d3 has only been in devolopment/ speculation for about 4 years. do the math its gonna be a 2010 game im thinking. and im basing that estimation just on the intricate designing that they are puttin in the game, so im guessing about a 5-6 year devolpment tops??? …but god i hope im wrong! im soooo ready for it! and to answer that one guys question the necromancer has been removed as a playable character and replaced with the witch docter, im my eyes thats pointless they are basically the same character but look different. i think that they should have just added to the necromancers abilities and not mad him a playable character untill you have beat the game, kind of like a reward you know. but oh well who am i to stop them from doing what they will???? anyways, Blizzard hurry up im growin tired of waiting sooo long on your games
^^^^ wtf? the trailer doesnt look ready? its done u dumb @$$. blizzard isnt bungie here they showed this shit off to get you ready to play not to get u thinking its coming out in 2010. have some hope blizzard is the best game delevopment company out there. they are gonna release it soon. probly the end of this year or early early 09. just cuz theres no leaks doenst mean we are not going to play D3 until 2010.
Apparently blizzard has been working on Diablo III for 3 years now so they could be closer to completion than expected, or Maybe its just wishful thinking. Ether way I wish they didn’t reveal D3 now time is just taking so much more longer…. Thanks blizzard, at least I got a reason to brake up with my girl…. Or maybe I should get her interested in Diablo 3 as well..
wow was never really that cool for me, blizzard got me hooked with diablo, then diablo II, then LOD, and i havent stopped playing it. ive taken many breaks but never stopped officially. (the longest break i took away from it was like about a year or a year and a half maybe). i know diablo 3 is gunna be globally the best game ever made, game of the year, and chart topper, knocking down WoW back down to a respectful #2, behind diablo3 that is. i can’t wait to see how the gameplay / dueling / items and basically everything is gunna be… i promise youll run into me and get slain in a duel somewhere in the day. useast sc l 4 life. thats probably going to change though. maybe not, we’ll see. i think they are going to need more servers though as this is an insanely anticipated game. its going to be huge for sure.
this game rox diablo 1 made me not play for 2 years
diablo 2 is crap
I cant wait for diablo 3 to come out im going to freeze myself right now hopefully someone will come and thaw me out the day d3 comes out any volunteers?
i cant because if i freeze myself too how would i unfreez you ? :P
zomg this wait is killing me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this game needs to come out so i can stop playing crappy games and start playing D3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
D3 is going to be the best game ever….i know it cause my brother works for Bliz and has showed me some of the aspects of the game that havent been seen…hell never find this and i gave a false email, so he cant kick my butt!!
anyone going blizz con plz bring back any information u have!!!!! mainly payment options (thats the only thing that I’m worried about because they know its gonna be big and they might make it WOW payment style) and i need release dates or any hints you can get to a release date. any information would be a big help.
I used to be addicted to meth, and diablo2 got me off of meth and addicted to diablo instead. I cant wait any longer for diablo3 as my cravings are getting stonger. brb koolaid
i rember when d2 first came out my poor ole computar running windows 98+ could barely run it i hope i dont need an upgrade for d3
ive beat d2 so many times i picked a fist fight with daiblo and baal and won! pretty sad …..huh………………….lol
there will b a playable demo of diablo 3 at blizzcon…. F U u lucky SoBs that r going to blizzcon
ps. K Diddy is lying
This really sucks BALLS! First Blizzard gives us the heads up that Starcraft 2 is in the making…and every Starcraft fan starts drooling over their keyboards in anticipation, prowling the net for screenshots and gameplay trailers. THEN, they drop a bomb…DIABLO 3! And the rest of the world starts drooling and even shits their pants (“New York Times: Man Shits his Pants Following Blizzard Announcement”). So now we are waiting…and all we can do is watch stupid trailers and screenshots. AT LEAST GIVE US SOMETHING! What I want to see is at least a DEMO of Starcraft OR Diablo to play over…and over…and over, to pass the time until either game is released. You know, just SOMETHING. Come on Blizzard…TAKE CARE OF YOUR FANBASE!
this game looks like the funnest game in the world and makes Diablo two look like something totaly different RELEASE IT PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Dawm’it, Blizzard. Why are you Torturing us like this, What did we do to you to diserve this.From now till then, you mean to say that i’m stuck to buy some crappy game just to satisfy my GAMING ADDICTION….
SO GET WITH THE PROGRAM, AND RELEASE THE F*&#EN GAME.
who else would sell their soul for D3 right or even just a beta???
When they release a playable demo we’ll know we’re getting close until a demo comes there is no point in getting overly excited because it’s still a long way off.
Regardless of that fact i will continue to wait with great enthusiam for D3. When it does get released I will most assuredly lose what little life I actually had. (begins gnawing at fingernails!)
well, i have to say thats a pretty good guess for the release date, and good reasoning behind it.
except i’m also not sure if i should follow someone who spelled hear and frame wrong.
i wannnnnna playyy diablo 3
If you look at the character classes and the game play video on the D3 website you’ll notice that there’s only two characters: the Witch Doctor (female or male) and a Barbarian (female or male). I don’t know about you but that sounds like a pretty crappy choice of characters.
btw, duels on Battle net will be extremely boring.
Just realised there’s three (wizard, barbarian and witch doctor). Still that dosen’t make much of a difference. In D2 there’s 5 characters, now thats a good selection.
yo
yo
yay
Oh if you clicked on all the writing thats D in his childhood
how many characters will be in this new one?
I want to see this game released as much as anyone else, but realistically, I’m guessing late 2010 at the absolute earliest. A Blizzard employer was recently quoted as saying Diablo III is still years off (meaning 2+).
Man as a great diablo and Diablo 2 fan i hope this game has online features and i hope they crack down more on “hacks” this time to mkae the game more challenging and stuff like that. Also hope that they give us the players the ability to create guilds/join guild and the let us battle each other online. That would be awesome. I do hope it gets realeased ASAP as soon as it does GOODBYE all other videogames for me.lol
Five characters again, of course! :o
diablo 3 is going to be the game of the year by far no other game for computor will be bought out within 24 hours i have about 30 friends waiting to pre-order the game. so until the game comes out you can find me playing diablo2 online whith the screen name “deaths_revenge” come find me
peace
I FLIPPIN LOVE DIABLO!!!
mad gay diablo 2 don’t work on vista =(
well don’t work well on vista
god when is D3 gonna come out
I have watched the gameplay videos sooo many times and everytime I look at them, I have this HUUUGE URGE TO PLAY IT! It is probably going to be released in 2009 though, but I still wish blizzard would hurry up with it, I mean, if there were some minor problems, they could fix them with patches etc, I wouldn’t mind ^^
Diablo III looks like a great game but the only thing im worried about is the payment. Those of you who are wondering why there are only two or three character classes arent very smart. They are just releasing screenshots and info about the game and chars. They will probly relase like 5 characters and then make and expansion with more characters to make more money :)
Cant wait to play Diablo3!
@Ayy – I don’t think anyone is wondering that at all…Blizzard has already confirmed that D3 will launch with a total of 5 classes. I really don’t understand how the idea of sequential additional of content is a bad thing, especially for a game that will not be subscription based.
zuggy if you look at the above comments almost half the people are talking about that
i wonder how much further they’ve got to go.
From what i have been hearing i think D3 will be realeased sometime around July-November of 2009, my friends dad is working on the game and said that is when it will most likely be released.
CANT WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT !!!!!!
wow killerrr
this game is fucking coool
ok here goes for all u ignorant pricks it probably wont come out untill xmas time 2009. if u look at the characters they have finished they only have like 3 out of 8-10 and they only have a couple territory’s completed and u wont be fighting diablo we killed him to no return if u read anything ud know that ur enemy’s are diablos generals and everyone who fought 4 diablo.
and i agree teh game is gonna b teh shit
Diablo III WILL be out in 2009. Period. A couple of years ago, I came across the site of a former blizzard employee. He said that they have actually been working on diablo III since shortly after Diablo II came out. However, when they nearly completed a version in 2004, the game looked great but didn’t have the fun or feel of the previous 2 games. The premise of that game was MMORPG where you decided to either join heavens army, or hells. There were dual versions of all equipment in the game for whatever side you were on.
It wont come out in 2008 because of the WoW Expansion. Starcraft II has been pushed to 2009 as I understand. That would place Diablo III as a holiday 09 realease.
For those of you saying that it will come out holiday 08 due to a need for money, don’t bet on it chaps. Do you have any idea how many WoW subscribers there are out there paying $15 a month to play that lackluster game. They have tons of money and tons of time to make this game the game they want it to be for us.
Oh yeah, and there will only be 5 character classes, which can be either gender. This does not constitute calling that 10 characters, as they are the same 5 characters, only gender swapped.
Cant wait for this game.
I realy dont know when D3 is coming out but surely none of us can wait for it but Blizzard always take their time because they have no publishers no deadline… they can work on a project as long as they want ! Thus making more expectations to the game and more buys! but i would probably guess release sometime at March or April… my guess
i heard theres this giant crazy friggin theory about like some wierd ass that said it was comin out in 09/09/09 beacause of like a rune and hex code and stuff
Stop saying “hurry up hurry up”
I SAY NOOOOOOOO take your damn time .. hell i’ll wait 2 years whatever it takes.
too manyrush and we get a half azzed piece a crap.. and if they ruin anything about the Diablo seires ill freak this is the single most 3rd important moment in gamer history Diablo 3 must be poliched perfect and right.
SLOW DOWN TAKE YOUR TIME!!
I say … dec 2009 – feb 2010. After WOW and Srarcraft 2 in 2008 if Blizzard release D3 in few months this will be just poor marketing. Why the rush? Just the beta testing will take at least 6 months. We wanna the game to be good. PATIENCE :)
i want to play it man ,with witch doctor
diablo 3 is so cool , i have seen its video and i loved it.
diablo 2 is so boring means diablo 3 would be so damn boring that it should be thrown in the dustbin .
i fuckin cant wait till it comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! imma buy 2 copies lol or ill wait at the store and buy one of the first copies :) its gonna be so awesome!!!!!! cant wait
Stop developing WoW, they have done so much with that damn game, get Diablo III done first, They’ve done many things to WoW and still haven’t finished Diablo III!!! OMG Come on!!
thx i love u blizzard
dammit i want to play now ive beaten diablo 2 and the expansion like 5 times with diff characters i want to play now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and when it comes out dont expect to see half the gamers that are into this type of game out of their house for weeks lol
Ok it seems really fun to guess. I want to guess too. But first. There are going to be 5 character classes on release. Also how wierd would a female barbarian look? I can’t imagine that looking cool. Anyway Starcraft 2 is closer to release than Diablo 3, we all know that much. I think SC 2 will be released between March-July and Diablo 3 released a year later. I think now that they releassed Wrath of the Lich king they can work on SC 2 and a little bit of D3. Then when SC 2 is released they can go full fledge into D3. Thus my theory of a year after release. Anyone agree with that?
It makes me absolutely sick to my stomach that I will have to wait almost an entire year to play this…
wtf is up with the beta? should’nt we already have it??
lol, i’m going to have to go buy a brand new PC when this comes out x]
i’ve recently started playing D1 again, o naccount i accidentally stepped on my D2 Play disk and broke it Dx
Lvl 3 old school Warrior FTW xD
OMG!!!!! i CAN’T frinkin wait till mid of the year, but then again i grad around that time so i can ask for it as a grad present.
One thing i would really like to have in the game in the mini map in the background of the screen thing, that helped alot in diablo II, the other thing is easy, not confusing maps like in dungeon seige (i hated thos maps i always got lost) just nice, easy mpas were there are only 1 or 2 ways to go like in diablo II
I find it funny having just sat here reading all the posts on this page. Diablo has a large community, but so do a lot of other games.
Loved how you guys keep trying to guess the release date but will all probably be wrong. was about a year and a half from lich king announcement to release, and that was just an expansion.
Also loved how in one of the earliest posts, some kid said his dad worked for blizz and gave a rough release date.
well i have known people working for them and i can tell you if that kids dad was really working for blizz, he wouldnt run his mouth like such as anyone who knows anything about working for blizz is they are very, very tight on matters of security and info and a simple GM would not even know about such a thing.
Keep up the hope though, it will come out eventually……..unless it becomes the next starcraft ghost which got too hyped and died in the making.
<3
Ummmm so i read most of these posts….I’m so friggin pumped I can barely stand it. The fact is we can speculate about the release date but none of us have a clue. I’m going to wait patiently and not worry about getting my hopes up for early/late ‘09 or early to mid 2010….You guys (and gals) are killing yourselves…
I’ve been huked on DIablo 2 LOD since it came out. I haven’t played it consistently for the last few years, with college going on….But that game was my life for awhile….(sad I know, please don’t cry) But for some reason I always have this itch to go back and play it and pwn diablo and his noob brothers….I just hope that this game is the same way…I want to be excited to replay this game as much, if not more than i was with D2 LOD…..
As for Blizzard having a new dev. team for this game….I’m not worried, sure it looks a bit like WoW, but the visuals from the demo were phenomenal. And I’m sure they’ll take a few lessons from the previous D2 team and deliver an awe inspiring game of epic proportions.
The only things on my wish list are Hardcore and Softcore realms….HC all the way…..
Until then I’ll keep doing TacoBaal runs in the realm of D2LOD….Maybe look for some keys……who knows….
Peace out and stay classy Diablo community!
Okay….Forget what I said about it looking like WoW….
This game’s visuals are fricken ridiculusly amazing!!!!!!!!!!
I jut watched the gameplay videos again and ugh….can’t wait.
I can’t wait for this game either, but it’ll be well worth it. Blizzard is one hell of a company in many ways. And one of those ways is that they don’t release games before they’re done. I expect great things from this game and very few problems. I’m not quite sure how they can carry the story line, but I can’t wait to find out. Play hard fellow D fans!
derek you’re fucking stupid, d3 won’t get released until AT LEAST winter ‘10. they still have to release sc2 which may not even make it in the ‘09 mark.
with love,
the waine
BLIZZARD…. Lame shit…. D3 will not ever come….
BLIZZARD…. LAME SHIT… First close D2 Cd’s and accounts…. and D3 will ever come…
we finnish n4ps get 350 000 bann hammer 1month ago…
I just saw the vid showing the Wizard’s “slow mo bubble” and my “excited for this game” meter just went nuts! Pwn Pwn Pwnski!!!!
: o {|)
i’m probably dead when diablo 3 is out.
dudes ive been playing sicen highschool thats 2000 i think its about time. love d2 but we as your fans deserve new misions and powers, also dont make it so easy i kinda like a challange, seems like everyone lately makes the same chars and with the same items bunch of copycats, seems to me the pro lies in the fact that u made it way too easy to obtain good items and way too many highrunes are droping. what about an aztek warrrior on the next game? im a big fan of my culture let me know if u need some ideas about aztecs! thanx for listening blizz thats if u actually do!
I CANNOT wait until the game comes out!
Haha. Take your time Blizzard. Just make the game mind Blowing :)
when will d3 come out like seriously if u guys are gonna charge mony after we buy the game like gay world of war craft thats crap no 1s gonna buy it and plus u guys make like 5 mill a month off of wow
While I’m an absolute blizzard fan, all of you claiming “You know Blizzard, they never release a game that isn’t 100% polished” need to stop just throwing your money at them. Their single largest profitable business venture for a game was and still is WoW….if anyone recalled when they released it, it was clearly not done with BETA testing, which they pretty much used live to test and correct during the first month to month and a half. That fire time period patched the game almost as much as the rest of the first year.
Blizzard’s awesome, don’t get me wrong. Just don’t give them TOO much credit.

d3 4 life
Can’t wait for you D3!!!! come soon, so i can drop out of school, stop goin in to work, and not get laid for a year! lol!
blizzard maked around 200 mill a month from WoW
Well wouldent it be pritty sweet if they took the same gameplay of diablo and put into an mmo format i mean come on its an action baised game and that would be soo much better then the point and click style of WOW (not saying WOW is bad i love it) but wouldent that rock
This is going to be huge :).
Blizzard is going so great, but they could stop being so mean about not giving a (aproximate) release date :(.
i was just wondering when the release date for Diablo 3 would be
Diablo 3 Release Date – in and around 2011
My vote for the release date is Summer 2010 or Christmas 2010. :-)
Duuuuuudes this is gana be BAD…as in Bad@$$
BUT i gata speak my class predictions. Since there is the Male/Female thing now, they gata stick with being a little realistic, seeing as a male amazon would be a little…you know out there @_@. Ok…here it is…VIKING WOLD BE TOTALLY AWESOME i mean viking could be male or female so it works there, so i hope blizz reads this and understands how it would be cool.
Heres a few cool ideas huh?
Samurai: D3 has to bring back the class only items from LOD and a Katana would be cool to use as a samurai, or maybe some of thos cool lookin triangular straw hats.
Arch angel: I always looked at tyrael and thought how cool it would be to be that guy, leme know if anyone feels me here.
Those suggestions were all replacements like, Viking to amazon, Arch angel to paladin and such, but i think itd be pretty cool if we got some unique classes, just out of example im gana say like a whip or chain user call it a ChainLash or somthing i dono. But all new ideas would be cool too
Don’t take this to heart, but one source indicates the following release date:
09/30/2009
i think diablo 3 is coming out in july 1,2009 thats what i have been hereing anyway cant wait to play it the grafics look so much beter then 1 and2.
Cant WAIT!!!!
:)
So! When is the actual date that this game is coming out man? I got kind of tired killing D1 & D2 over and over for the past few years. No! Seriously. I Killed Diablo 1 like 50 times and the second one probably doubled that amount. So yeah i cant wait to try the third one and see what are the new stuffs that Blizzard is throwing out there man.
ok write back to me joshwatts@400hotmail.com plz
SCREW YOU GUYS. im gunna freeze myself in the snow and have butters get me out after diablo 3 is released.

I bet they launch it 9 / 9 / 09
it wont be 9/9/09 because they anounced it a long time ago in like 2007, if they waited to long people would lose interest. So everyone that thinks it will be too far away dont worry its comin before july. hang in there
Well .. somebody told me its TOMORROW ! 27of March 2009 !
Please be it true ! !! :) :) ! ! !
Please!!!! When will D3 be available!!!!?????!!!!
You spelled hear wrong. You used here, and it should be hear.
has diablo 3 come out yet i relly wana playyyyy it fn blizardies love ya realeace it soon
me
Can’t wait to have my long, slender sword rubbing up against those little beasts again.
It’s going to be chaos in the stores! Maybe I’d be lucky to snag one if I pre-order from now…
oooommmmggggg its finally outttt!!!! It just was said that Blizzard is releasing Diablo 3 JULY 12th!!!!!!! I found out cause my friend is a project manager on Diablo 3 ( lucky huuhh).
Blizzard will milk this release date until everyone that wants to play it goes INSANE. I mean really, think about it. This game will make WOW freaks convert. It’s going to make so much money in the first DAY that Blizzard can release it whenever the hell they want. I’m also pretty sure that once it ACTUALLY comes out, everyone that knows it’s out will spontaneously combust in a raging fit of pure joy. Just one big .. BOOOOOM! Think about it =)
Heck I remember when I was in high school, back in ‘04 the rumor’s started flying around that the Diablo 3 domain had be bought by Blizzard. That is how long i’ve been waiting, and I will patiently continue to do so. Also waiting on Starcarft 2 which has yet to announce a release date as well. All in all Blizzard takes its time on these games so ensure that we get a worthy product, and not something that was slapped together.
I heard that it would be released on the 12th of July from many forums!
I think diablo 3 is going to have several levels.
There is probably going to be a guy with a bad haircut
And one with a good haircut
Usually there is a half naked lady, but its no guarantee
In all likeelyhood the game will be set in the middleages, but i cant be to sure of that, rumour has it there is a hidden sci-fi level that is reminiscant of star trek.
Theres no Vulcans or Klingons, but the borg have a small featuring roll in it. Phasers gallore i say.
Bottom line i am llike totally psyched to play this game even if it does come out by the time im 90,
I wont play it if theres blood in it though, im a bit squeemish, and im like mad Christian so im not playing if theres demons, witchcraft or magic in it , cause those are all evil omens. If you play with those you will go to hell. I may just take the warrior and not use any of his special skills to ensure im not breaking the rules. Team with me if you see me online, my name will be. Maidmarrion96, ive already paid Blizzard to reserve this name in all new and upcoming releases.
hurry up blizz!!!! been waiting 2 years!!!!! you can milk that damn idea cow a little bit faster cant you!!!!!
LOL @ Moody Belly
I DONT CARE WHAT YOU ALL SAY I AM PLAYING THE WITCH DOCTOR I WILL PWN YOU ALL
P.S. World of Warcraft + diablo2 rocks
god dammit this is taking forever im so anxious. ATLEAST RELEASE A DEMO OR SOMETHING!!!!
love you blizzard but hurry up please i just beat lord of destruction come on love you again go diabloe and WOW
moody belly your a legend xD!
more accurate release dates are the 4th quarter of ‘09 so it’ll be out for christmas…
or it’ll come out at the beginning of the 2nd quarter of 2010 so kids can buy it and waste away their whole day on it during the summer =P
Personnaly, i played diablo 2 like hell 2 years after the release date.
I would easily pay an extra 200$ to have that game right now…
but if it is a WOW based game and you have to pay a monthly fee or whatever.
I doubt much people would play on a long term basis.
except for the people that play WOW and pay that fee, but i doubt they would leave their level 50 accounts or whatever too spend more money on diablo 3
Mooooooody !!!!!!!!!!!! fuck yas…o and cant wait for the release date on July 12th 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gonna be pimp. I think everyone here is in self-denial about the release date because they have waited so long they just will not believe its coming out so they extend the date longer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Diablo 2 was the best game known to entireity
i don’t know if thats a word i tried to make a word for it’s eliteness….
diablo 3 i await your arrival you bastard loving sexy appearing game you…
I think they should let people buy their cd key early and let those people be in the beta.
Pff, every wow player will stop playing when D3 hits!!!!
Please blizzard gimme it now!!!!
I CANT FUCKING WAIT FOR THIS GAME ITS GOING TO BE NUTS!!!! D2 WAS THE GREATEST GAME EVER SO D3 CANNOT DISSAPOINT!!! OMG IM SO STOKED!
The first game i wont download
I cant wait for this one to come out!!!!! I Want a Beta Code!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
c’mon blizzard, you are not even updating your official website, only updates are media teasers no new classes besides the 3 no release date. no cheat codes nothing that a gamer can take and be satisfied that there are real achievements being made in the last 4-5 months
there is just a little more before the end of july so the game will be released soon
poor moody…july 12th has come and gone…must stay a live long enough for blizzard to release sc2 and d3
Ok guys, here is blizzards plan to put you out of missery.
Blizzard is hoping to release Diablo III on 9th september 2009. The team made the release date by using a dol rune with kill-dia-in-hell. This generated a code, a hex code which, when translated, spelled: Diablo 3, 09/09/09
I hope it wil be relesed in 9/9/2009, i’m waiting for more than a year!!!!!!! goddam blizzard :P , but even with the date of 9/9/9 i stil think the date isnt correct because they dedent even update the official site of diablo3!!! last update was in 2008 :\ , more than a year is pased :\ ?
is the game not ready? or are they waiting for the right time that evrybody has there money…
Greetzz from holland!!!!!!!
lol march 2009… how ingenuos
dudeee… i wait this game for 3 year… it become bloring to play diablo 2 … pls hurry upppp!>.
LMAO…. so you thought it was going to come out a few moths ago…. they still dont have a release date and it deafinently did not come out on 9-9-09. who ever was stupid enough to say that….. *cough cough* invi
anyways ive been waiting for this game for well over a year now my friend got me into diablo 2 and since then ive been playing grandchase because im so damn bored!!!!!!!! PLEASE COME OUT SOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im forward to this game for 2 years pls release this game blizzard pls
I just hope they have mephisto and baal in here still. I always look forward to killing them. I laugh at all you guys who sound so sure and full of yourselves though when most of your guesses have already passed. xmas of 09 is getting near so thats a POSSIBILITY but I’m not getting my hopes up. I do think however it shouldn’t take them till 11. That would just be ridiculous.
Uhm, .. your maths seem to have failed you. We’re almost 2010 and I don’t think they’re even releasing it in 2010, more like 2011 or 2012.. :S Which sucks.. really bad.
Well Here we are April 20th 2010 ! People have been adding comments since 2008 ?! and still No Release Date for Diablo 3 ?! I think its a bout time for it to release, why do they evan post it 2 years before they evan have a release date ?!
ive been playin diablo for years now and ive been waiting on diablo 3 for 2 and a half years since i first heard about it this is may 1st 2010!!! “is it ever coming out?”
With the release date of Star Craft 2 now published the last I see is Diablo III release in 2011 – which is in line with what I read when I first heard about development in 2009.
I cant take it anymore. Stop teasing and just fucking release d3. Sooo tired of waiting, please end my suffering. Waiting… waiting… waiting… ok! Lets play d2.
Lets just hope they release it before 12/21/2012….
