D3 SC2 Release Dates (speculation)

While no official release date has been announced yet for Diablo 3, there has been much speculation to a potential “ball park” figure on the launch date for the much anticipated title. Needless to say, it’s going to be a big year with as many releases as blizzard has planned for the near future.

A recent leak from Blizzard’s parent company, Vivendi revealed that the newest World of Warcraft expansion is due sometime in the fall of 2008. In addition, Starcraft II is also due out around Christmas.

So what does this tell us? Well, if anything it reveals a pattern of release timing. After the first announcement of each of these respective games their release dates were scheduled between 8 and 12 months later. I believe this same scenario should hold true for Diabo III.

This would put the game’s release date between March and July of 2009. A release date during this time fame allows Blizzard’s other title releases to soak up all the economic benefit to further bolster the companies revenues for the 2008 fiscal year. With no current releases or expansions scheduled for the 2009 year, it would be a pretty bleak stock outlook for the company to not release a game before Q2, or at the very latest Q3 of 2009.

Of course, all of this is just purely speculation, but with any luck we’ll here of a leaked release date in the coming weeks and months as the rapid development of this much anticipated title continues.

SC2 at Christmas EH???? We'll just see about that.

Eh, I'm not gonna hold my breath. That's almost grasping at straws.

I don't really trust a so called 'leak.'

Christmas 2010 you mean

I'd have to agree with Grav.

However, if it did come out.. GAME ON!!

The game movies they provided actually looked very well polished. It doesn't look like much work needs to be done to what they unvieled. I could see summer of next year as possible.

As for SC2, I haven't followed it so I don't have any say there.

More speculation, also this kid is an idiot if he thinks this game is going to fail.

Diablo 3 is gonna come out when I get tenure

Tenure where? Gotten your professorship? :p

Yeah in 10 years Willkillthejoke

That's what I do best, nigger.

I doubt D3 will be as addicting as D2 for me, but I'm still excited as Hell... I've been waiting for this game for like 7 years.

It's only the sequel to the greatest game ever made.

For as long as I can remember in my life, I have played diablo. No joke at all. I remember sitting on a beach with my dad and his ancient laptop and clicking around and watching the monsters fall down. I think that was DI though.

My buddy works at Blizzard and says it is coming out Christmas 2008.

I have an uncle who knows a guy that lived with a guy that worked with a guy that had a dad that knew a guys that had sex with a guy that knew a guy that worked at blizzard. He says it is coming out tomorrow.
