Blizzard Confirms No Diablo III In 2010

LINK

Blizzard has two big releases slated for 2010, in the form of StarCraft II and the WoW expansion Cataclysm. Being a developer known to patiently hone and sharpen its titles long past projected release dates, having these two game come out in the same year is akin to the stars aligning. Keeping in mind this miracle, Blizzard executive Rob Pardo's confirmation that Diablo 3 won't being arriving in 2010 should come as no surprise.

There are some saying that the release of Torchlight has stumped Blizzard in a way unlike any other. A game made by its former employees, reaching a massive level of success, and pretty much showing what Diablo III represents poses a serious problem to Blizzard. They are reaping their crops they harvested when they sucked up and sold themselves out to corporate beings and merging with Activision. k0r3aN_pR1d3

I still wonder how could people expect this game to be out in late 2009 or even in 2010. I give it another 2-3 years from now.

y would any1 be suprised? ITS BLIZZARD!!! HELLO!!!

Torchlight may have had a spark of success, but Diablo is a legendary franchise among gamers, it's on a completely different level. Let's put it this way - Torchlight is a highly-moddable 3D Diablo 1. Maybe *if* they continue the franchise properly it may be a blow to current Blizzard. But by the time they do this, I bet SC2, D3 and the new MMO will be out.

And I don't think they had a choice when merging with Activision, so I wouldn't blame it on them, although, well :( ...

I knew that D3 wouldn't be out in 2010. Blizz can't even get a Patch for D2 out that they announced back in march.

and so continues my love/hate relationship with Blizzard :?

ha! i knew it!

not surprised but it was still fun to hope, this news just crushed that hope.

No surprise. Blizzard always delay their game. I hope Starcraft 2 come out in Summer 2010 atleast.

Besides the concious move to simultaneously make 3 million nerds jiz their pants at the exact same time, why would Blizzard announce this game so early?
