2012?! Are you out of your mind? If Blizz knew what was good for them they wouldn't wait that long. There is no need for it to hit later than 2011. If it does, I'm gonna be royally pissed.
Agreed. 2011 sounds just right. If not 2011, it'll be January or February of 2012. Blizzard has a knack to always release things around Christmas (marketing strategy btw).

Well, they're not releasing StarCraft II around Christmas, and Diablo II and its expansion were both released in June! I think that they will pull off either June or July release of 2011! To me, this is the most reasonable part of the year when we'll see Diablo III on the shelves!
I'm thinking that Blizz is planning for a 2011 release, probably 3rd quarter but will probably run into some kind of issues and end up releasing it summer of 2012.
personally i think it will be june 29 2011 i think they have most of the game done by now just tweeks. I think they will try to make it a big thing and have it released on the 10 year anny of LoD. Just like they did for everything else.( diablo 1 june 29th, Diablo 2 june 29th, LoD june 29th, annoucement of D3 june 28th(they had too blizzcon was over after that) so my overall guess is they will try to get out as close to june 29th as possible.
SCII was announced May 19, 2007. It will be released July 27, 2010. 3 years and 1 month 2 months.
D3 was announced June 28, 2008. If it is released June 28, 2011 that will be 3 years; almost exactly the same timeframe between announcement and release as SCII.
(Edit: It would seem that I don't know the difference between June and July).
I also put my money on 2012... Blizzard time is dangerously approaching Valve time, except they (Blizzard) have the courtesy of not giving absoulte dates.
Look, I love Blizzard and their devotion to quality.. But just to get this off my chest: Regardless of when they actually release D3, I'm constantly amazed by Blizzard's arrogance in completely discarding "time to market" as beneath them. 2012 would offend me personally. As a person.

Umm, sorry but Diablo 1 released on Jan. 2nd, not June 29th. D3 more than likely will be released on June 29th (and probably 2011). However they might also wait until January 2012, which would mark the 15th anniversary of Diablo 1. Personally I hope it's 2011.
To those who say if Blizzard waits until 2012 to release D3 because many won't buy the game due to outdated graphics, that will not be a factor at all. Both D1 and D2 released with already outdated graphics, and look how many copies those two games sold. Blizzard has never been about bling, only whether the game is fun and will run on the maximum number of PC's, not just the top end machines of hardcore gamers..
Yeah, but I feel I need an upgraded machine to play and the longer Blizzard takes, the easier it becomes for me to get enough money to buy a new computer. God damn economy is stopping me though.

I'm sure Diablo 3 will be out in 2011. That's right, December 15 2011. That's okay though because Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be out by June or July 2011. That'll tide me over until Blizzard decides they can't make any more WoW expansions and finally finishes and releases Diablo 3.
2011 around winter. And I'm prepared to bet a lot for it.
You're not funny.
Agreed. 2011 sounds just right. If not 2011, it'll be January or February of 2012. Blizzard has a knack to always release things around Christmas (marketing strategy btw).
