If D3 is announced...realistic release date idea

Bad Ash · 21-05-2008, 21:43

Hey guys-

I am just thinking about precedent here and the way blizzard works, they keep their games secret and then release the info when they are MODERATELY close to being completed. Examples of recent: WotLK (WoW exp), and Starcraft 2. Both are due out sometime this year and were announced less than a year ago. So if Diablo 3 is announced in a 5 weeks, Wouldn't it be safe to assume that it would be released sometime in 2009?????

fingers crossed!

Yeah the trends seem to strengthen the idea that it will be released in 2009 (if it is announced in 5 weeks time from now). Anyways, waiting for more than one year still feels like a long time!

At least there would be a light at the end of the tunnel...

~ 2020 if we're lucky

Wouldn't they be able to release right on the 10 year anniversary of D2 if they released in 2009? That would be sorta funny. Though I honestly can't see Blizzard ever getting a release set for such a specific date. They tend to call a project done when they feel like it's done. Not when they feel like it's the best time to release.

True they dont like to set the exact release dates, but again im calling it that WHATEVER the new game is, it is released before the year 2010...if they did it on the 10 year anniversery that would be awesome.

Seriously how rude would it be if blizzard announced D3 and then made us wait like 5 years! haha talk about a kick in the cahoneys

The official word came almost exactly a year ago, so we might be looking at a late 2009 release IF we get the good news this summer

diablo 3 is problably long away still. with wow still going strong and with starcraft 2 in the works it seems lika an overkill if they would start on diablo 3. but that it will come i have no doubt about.

it could be a long way away, but if it is announced expect it sooner than later
