Jay’s Game System Update Slated for Tomorrow

Posted 18 January 2012 by Nizaris

For those that may not know, it was stated that Jay would be providing an update that would provide fans with a pulse of the development for Diablo 3. While no DiabloWikirelease date was promised, it will be the first release-date related news we’ve seen come directly from Blizzard since DiabloWikiMike Morhaime announced its delay (You know, other than that red herring by Zarhym the other week…).

In a tweet unlike the usual uncertainty we’ve all become accustomed to, Bashiok has tweeted when we are to see the article:

@Park_Spencer I don’t know what he was talking about. He drinks a lot of cough syrup. (jk it’ll be going up tomorrow)

Take this with a grain of salt, though, as Twitter is the new unofficial channel of questionable Blizzard media. Based on its directness, though, we should be seeing the article go live some time tomorrow as previously promised by Zarhym. The biggest question now, is what we’ll learn? What systems have they been tweaking? All of them?

Thanks to Lukk and Jiflyon, the first to mail it in.

  • I’m really looking forward to this. We’ve been dry on any interesting game news for a while, which is probably what brought on that overblown twittergate fiasco.

  • I expect nothing, so at least I wont be disappointed, in the end maybe even pleasantly suprised?!

  • “Sadly, because of all this major changes and tweeks we are forced to move our target release date to unforeseeable future”.

  • Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…Please dont delay the game…

  • To me this upcoming explanation from Jay looks like sign of delay. Why would they bother writing all that stuff if they were planning to announce release date in upcoming weeks..

  • haha “release-date related”…. the spin here makes me dizzy

  • It’s one extreme or another: either “here, we’ve worked out all the big systems and here’s the release date” or “so we realized a lot of what we had is ****e and is going to take a while to un-****e-ify, so we’ll get back to you with a release date.

  • Am I the only one who spotted that Nizaris made the article?
    Grats, Nizaris, on your first article :D

  • Pretty sure this means the game is coming out tomorrow.  Trust me guys,  I’m a random internet person.

  • any guess on the definition of “tomorrow” ?

    noon Pacific time perhaps ? 
    am I gonna have to be hitting refresh every 5 minutes all day long ?
