Please tell me that Diablo 3 will be released circa 2011. I've been waiting for this game ever since I started playing Diablo 2 Eight years ago! What on Earth is taking the developers so long?

Other games I am looking forward to are Deux Ex 3, Crysis 2, and Doom 4.

Don't rush a good games deveolpment, either wise you'll get a horrible game that you will complain about how bad it is because you rushed them.

But the Released date is to be announced. Heres a handy website for you to stay in touch.http://us.blizzard.com/diablo3/

yup...MO with Blizzard is a game is done "when it's done".

Usually they won't release a launch date until a game is gold or now post-Activision buyout a month or two after gold to help feed the hype machine.

Well at Blizzcon they said they are close to doing a closed Alpha test for Blizzard staff and family. After that they will be doing a Beta test. Work on 3 Month closed alpha and another 3 month Beta with a few months inbetween.

If they start the Alpha early 2011 we could see it later in the year. My guess is that we are looking 2012, early to mid.
