Yep, Diablo III Has Been Delayed Again

by on

Blizzard now targeting a date sometime before the end of June.

No Caption Provided

Blizzard Entertainment had pegged Diablo III for early 2012, but as fans had started to suspect, the studio might not actually hit that timeframe. Turns out that’s true, based on news during the company's fiscal call today.

Diablo III is now being targeted for a release sometime during the company’s second quarter. For reference, Activision Blizzard’s second quarter ends on June 30, so the game could arrive at any point before then.

Could. Hopefully.

“We’ve implemented changes to the game that we believe will greatly increase the game experience,” said Blizzard president and co-founder Michael Morhaime.

Morhaime said there would be “more details” about the game’s release date “in the coming weeks.”

Getting pretty sick of this. The beta had me very excited for the game, but delay after delay and vague answers regarding the release date just puts a sour taste in my mouth. It really feels like they don't give a shit about the fans.

It's because they care about their fans that they are delaying it.

People would you rather have an okay game or a great game?

I don't mean to necro, but I lost all hope for Diablo III after the first delay. I'll buy it eventually but I can't stand how Blizzard pushes their products back further and further...This is by the far the longest delayed game besides Star Craft: Ghost! Hehe.
