"Diablo III is an action role-playing game currently in development and the third installment of Blizzard?s Diablo franchise. It was unveiled on June 28, at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France. Development on Diablo III began some time in 2005 when Blizzard North was still in operation. Four years is about time for a game release.
Associates working on a Diablo 3 game design have supplied the following information.
The release date for the online beta multiplayer trial version is currently set to:
11th September, 2009
The final version, available for purchase is to be released before Christmas:
24th December, 2009"
"The system requirements are likely to be:
PC:
Operating System: Windows XP/ Vista
Processor: 1.4GHz or higher CPU.
RAM: 1Gb or more.

Hard Drive Space: 4-8GB

I'm not familiar with that site, but until Blizzard actually releases information, I would regard anything like that as conjecture to fill up a space on their calendar. That's generally what these things are.
Yeah I hope he does, I wouldn't think N4G to post something like this just randomly, it was on their front page
Seems very suspicious though that this information was released so covertly...I would have thought Blizzard would want a lot of people to know about it right away so I'm dubious about the whole thing.
they wouldn't ever release it a day before christmas anyway in whatever year.
they'd want to give everyone enough time to buy it for christmas..
also why would they be making a patch for 1.13 if they were releasing d3 before or shortly after? it would only decrease sales

they'll never see me coming.. life is a sequence of tragedies, inconsistent only by fleeting, elusive moments of pleasure,
serving only to ensure absolute vulnerability to the pain of their inevitable absence.
I don't think there is a slight chance of this coming out in 09... I would think it would be more credible if it at least said Christmas Eve of 2010.
Now Starcraft 2 on the other hand, could possibly meet that release date... not D3 though.
Remember this is Blizzard to, you have to calculate their release date. If they say Christmas Eve of 09 for "game" you have to add 6 months and 15 days to that date to get the "possible release date".
didnt blizzard specifically say about a month ago that SC2 is coming out, but diablo will NOT come out this year? I am thinking mid to late 2010 it will be shipped. Probably late lol.

Honestly...I could see D3 being put off till 2011 easy.

ya i guess that end of the world event would be the cancelation of the game... cant u see the angry mob destroing everithing coz diablo 3 was canceled??? lol
i guess 2010... or the graphic engine will be too much obsolete (i hope this is the right word... sorry =/)
Regardless of the end of the world, I'm buying it. No one will stop me.

If so....how in gods name do I get in on the BETA!!?
And welcome to the site
Maybe Bashiok will shed some light

I hope SC2 will hold me over till D3.

I believe they predicted December 2012 <came from the top of my head though>
And I also believe Blizzard had an official relase date:
WHEN IT'S READY.
Wow, wouldnt that be nice.
However I sincerely doubt it.
