Diablo 3 release date? - Estimated 2009 early to mid year
This is a burning question on everyone's mind, but it's safe to say that Blizzard will not release Diablo 3 until StarCraft 2 is out (tentatively scheduled for December 2008) . The simple reason is that they don't want two of their own products to compete against each other for sales. It also allows them to test out the new Battle.net with StarCraft II and clean out the bugs before having Diablo 3 go at it. Hopefully this will mean players will get a smoother online multiplayer experience with Diablo 3.
