Since an announcement for the actual release date for Diablo III is coming up soon, how do you think Blizzard will put out the information? Here are some speculative ideas I have come up with so far, but the truth is anybodies guess.
- A simple article on the official site with the date
- Announced in a commercial during a major football game
- Put into another easter egg like the starcow
- As a Christmas/New Year present
- A short blue post on the forums
- At an upcomming gaming convention
Please leave your opinions about how you think Blizzard will announce the release date of Diablo III.
Hopefully during a gaming convention or something really big...Diablo 3's release date will probably be as exciting as when they announced the game back in 2008. I doubt they'll announce it with a blue post, they'll want something big!! When are big gaming conventions held this year anyway?
I belive they will make a sort of a video about it. With or without and audience.
Followed by an article and a bluepost.
It could be a new cinematic with the date at the end..
Was just thinking this, thinking back to the release of the BC cinamatic...
May be a repeat of history here with the full Intro cinamatic with the release date at the end. Seems fair enough; Big enough event, not too far out, shoots for a mid to late January launch (Please be Jan 10th, my birthday...lol...if so i will actually take my birthday off for once) is likey, plus adding a easter egg thing before hand for the "Hardcore" fans to try and figure out be a nice touch .: D
Typically these sort of things are announced via press release, although I imagine they would also post up an announcement on the official site as well.
Obviously they are going to make the announcement by having Jay Wilson start a flash mob in the middle L.A. International, all participants will be dressed in Diablo cosplay fashions and they will dance to Sympathy for the Devil covered by TAFKAL80ETC.
Hopefully a release soon, by the end of Nov if it is going to be Jan 17th, 3 days after my birthday!! Starting to think late early Feb is going to be more likely. I think it will be a D3 into on their site with a release date to follow. Then mass hysteria when it reaches other sites.
VGA on 10 December and i hope a new easter egg comes out on 30 November so we diablofans get to know the release date shortly before the announcement.
Hmmm I think I'm coming up with a bit of a conspiracy theory. Diablo III will win the Most Anticipated Game of 2012 award at the VGA's, and Blizzard will use this opportunity to say "Guess what folks! The wait is over!"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't we already have a release date for the other two games in the running for this award? Makes sense.....
How did they do it for StarCraft 2 and the WoW expansions?
For SC2...I believe it was just a press release? Not sure about WoW. I remember they announced the SC2 CE almost 2 months in advance before the official release, even before the announcement of the release date. Why would Blizzard do anything differently with D3?

WoW expansions have generally just been press releases followed by some blue posts to the community.

Admit it... it would be EPIC!

I don't, the later they announce it the later it comes out!
