“While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many
of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year,” writes
Blizzard president Mike Morhaime. “We were too.”
This means, for a brief period in time, Diablo’s fans and creators
were united in convincing themselves that a Blizzard game might come out
on time. Neither party had fully committed to an official release date,
however, and the Irvine, California-based developer had only said that
it was “aiming to launch by the end of 2011.” Luckily, the only thing
more steadfast than Blizzard’s lengthy development times is its
proclaimed commitment to quality.
“Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that
lives up to our expectations and yours as well,” Morhaime said, “we
should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different
elements of the game.” To aid the extended endeavor, Diablo 3′s beta
will run longer and accomodate more invitees.
If your gaming tastes incorporate more than highly anticipated
role-playing games, you’ll likely find some relief in this delay. Now
there’s more time for Batman, Drake, Ezio, two kinds of modern warfare,
Skyrim and — wait, there’s still not enough time, is there?
