You’ve probably heard that Blizzard’s production schedule was leaked (source: MMO Champion). It’s rumored to have been leaked by an anonymous, yet authoritative source.
Looking at past releases, the schedule gets them right: Battle.net 2.0, Starcraft 2, WoW mobile, Cataclysm.
Ok, but what does that mean for Diablo 3 and its release date? First, we confirm that 2011 remains the target date. On the negative side, it seems they are targeting the holiday season, so November or Decemeber 2011.
Using the Starcraft 2 beta as approximation, we can assume that the Diablo 3 beta public beta will probably start in June or July. Remember to opt-in for beta testing the Diablo universe on your Battle.net account.
Some of you have attended Blizzcon 2010 and 1000 beta keys will go to Blizzcon attendees. What else can you do?
Fill in your email in the form below and you’ll get an immediate notification when Blizzard announces the beta. There will be beta invites too, so join now:




I noticed you removed the project Titan portion, I take it you wanna keep the hype with diablo 3?
Yeah, project Titan got the axe in order to conserve space! The rumors say Blizzard’s next-gen MMO is a first-person shooter set in a fantasy/sci-fi universe. Nothing “hype” about it yet
I don’t believe that Blizzard would release a major service pack and a new game in the same quarter… Finance wise, that does work. It reduces your sales impact on the market.
I’ve been waiting for the next game in the Diablo series (assuming there was another one on the way), ever since my friends stopped playing Diablo II and that’s been ages ago, so an extra year won’t kill me.
7 Extra years on the other hand would simply make me loose interest in Diablo III, Duke Nukem Forever…
Thanks alot : ) for your post. I’d prefer to say that the expense of car insurance varies greatly from one insurance plan to another, given that there are so many different facets which bring about the overall cost. For instance, the make and model of the vehicle will have a significant bearing on the charge. A reliable outdated family motor vehicle will have a more affordable premium than a flashy sports car.
