Diablo III Release Date Coming In The “Near Future”
Just a few weeks ago, it was being said that Blizzard Games ran into another setback in the development of their up and coming title, Diablo III. With all of this talk, one had to wonder if the newest edition of Diablo was ever going to come. Game Director, Jay Wilson assures that their is nothing to worry about:
[quote]We think you’re going to love Diablo III when it’s released, and speaking of release plans, you can seriously expect a launch-date announcement from us in the near future. See, I didn’t say ‘soon,’ so I’m not taunting you. You’ll know as soon as I know for sure the exact date. [/quote]
Wilson also went on about how the development is coming along, saying that it was in “great shape” and that “…the secret is that playing through the game as we do final tuning, bug fixes, and optimizations is a real joy.”
A third installment has been long-awaited since the release of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction in 2001. Since Diablo III was announced to be in development, the title has bypassed numerous release targets including late 2011 and early this year. Time will only tell us if this title is indeed worth the wait.
