Rumors: Diablo III Release Date and System Requirements

Website Kaputik has supposedly obtained release date and system requirement info from an insider working on Diablo III. As with all Internet rumors this is to be taken with a grain of salt.

TheIneffableBob6292d ago

I highly, highly, highly doubt that Diablo 3 will be released in 2009. Late 2010 at the soonest.

BRG90006292d ago

I'm kind of expecting it early- to mid-2010, with a Starcraft release each holiday.

But anyway, Blizzard never sets release dates very far in advance, and while I'm sure they have rough internal timelines I'd bet they don't even have dates set internally. I don't think there's any date that could leak that would be correct because Blizz simply hasn't set one.

I don't know about this tho...

I read someplace they want to do 1 big Flagship game a year... Starcraft 2 ... then diablo 3 ... then wow expansion.
on the other hand... Starcraft is 3 games... Diablo will get a hand full of expansions... sooner its out sooner expansions come...

Also there In the works of a new MMO n i wouldn't be surprised if they did a War craft 4 someday.

Plus with the growth of the company it wouldn't surprise me if we got multiple games a year.

With the Activision Merger i wouldn't be shocked to see Blizzard games go to consoles... Blizzard stated that they would be fine going to consoles if... the Console players will be playing with the PC players.

Why plastation hasn't got WoW yet is beyond me but... Mabey well get D3

I figure, if you can run WoW, you can run Diablo III. Obviously a higher-end PC will look better but Blizzard is good about getting the game to run and look good on lower-end PCs.

I mean for a game releasing in 2009 or 2010 it should be at least 2.3 Ghzs required along with a good video card

This could be the worst rumor ever.

Edit: I'm pretty sure Starcraft 2 will come out this year. But no way Diablo 3 will.

ceiltsei6292d ago

I love the full game release date - Dec 24th. A freakin Thursday. Hilarious!

*raises a glass* Here is to hoping. But I'm not going to hold my breath, December is a long time to go without that whole breathing thing =/

If they didn't let the cellphone guy touch the 3rd one in first place, they wouldn't have to dance around like clowns trying to make money.

We've been asking for less "boring" seasons... "boring"... not "buggy"... same ol' rehashed content just a different color is not working.
