In May Blizzard brought the domain name Diablo3.com, and this immediately sparked speculation of a potential upcoming Diablo III release.
With Blizzard’s 2008 global Invitational to be held sometime this week, and considering the Blizzard teasers, splash screens on their website etc., there is huge amount of speculation buzzing around. Blizzard generally teases splash screens when they have a new game announcement, so …you get the gist right.
There are lot of reports in the media as well, and numerous tips coming direct to us through IncGamers from reliable inside industry sources in the past 24 hours. Based on them, there is strong reason to believe that Diablo 3 will be announced on Saturday at WWI Paris 2008.
If you have heard anything, share a tip here for the benefit of other gamers.

Can’t wait to get my hands on this, been waiting a long long time babe.
Is it out yet?
June 28th, 2008 at 4:49 pm
I don’t think so. It is what it is…rumor
June 28th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
It is no longer a rumor, they have in-game play videos…it looks awesome and far into progression
June 28th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Well i play world of warcraft and i watched the trailers from billzard for the D3. It is sick. I can not wait to get it.
June 28th, 2008 at 7:45 pm
Diablo 3 comming. They’ve said it(blizz).
June 28th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Dudes.. Just go to gametrailers.com and have a look for yourselves! 19 minutes ingame footage and a “hot-as-hell” trailer!
soooo good that stuff… argh.. nice ^^
June 28th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
best game ever
June 28th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
i dont no if anyone has answered this or if anyone knows but does anyone know the release date for diablo 3
June 29th, 2008 at 2:39 am
This is becoming a tough decision… Continue playing WoW in preparation for Lich King, play Diablo 03 which is more badass than any of its type, or play starcraft to get ready for Starcraft 2 in November…
Damn so many choices… so little time..
Whether your a WoW, Diablo, or Starcraft fan you can’t be disappointed…
Personally I have been going through Diablo 02 over again. Since I never played the expansion I am finding it quite fun replaying my favorite, the Amazon. Altough after the D3 trailer I really want to try the Barbarian.
Keep up the good work Blizzard!!!
As always nothing but love and respect…
June 29th, 2008 at 12:41 pm
There were alot of rumors going around^^ - 3 years ago or so, when I played Diablo II - they wanted to make a D3
And finally, they kept their promise and really made it, even though after a LONG LONG time to do so
Hope the game will speak for itself and make all the past of Blizzard be forgotten, the bad of it at least…
Cant wait for the game to be released!
June 29th, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Does anyone know for sure when Diablo 3 will be coming out because i am tired of playing diablo 2 and i just saw the previews and i can’t wait!!!!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 12:33 pm
Well as almost everyone know they have released a 20 min trailer which explain two characters. According to this release my opinion is that they should announce the game pretty soon, i mean they cant show a trailer and release it a year from now
CANT WAIT!!!
June 30th, 2008 at 2:31 pm
Oh yeah, diablo 3 just announced and starcraft 2 o the way… The only thing missing is Warcraft IV… WoW can go to hell, it shouldn’t count as a part of the Warcraft series, truly a disgrace to the legacy. 80% of those playing WoW have never even played Warcraft I or II…

For you who’s wondering about when blizzard is gonna tell when diablo III will release… I might have a clue. On this webpage i usualy use when i’m gonna order games (it’s a really serious page), It says that it’s gonna release in 2009. But i don’t know for sure, it might not be correct, but my guess is that it is
July 1st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
have no vlue when the game will be out, but im guessing from the ammount of stuff that Blizzard has shown , and the size of the map on the website id say it should be a good 8 to 9 months
July 1st, 2008 at 8:37 pm
i love wow too much but wich should i practice more diablo 2 or wow i wanted to no which is comming out first!!!!!
July 1st, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Diablo 3 Release Date is 09/30/2009 officially.
July 2nd, 2008 at 8:41 am
what…thats in almost a year i dont think i can wait that long omg lame…..
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:36 am
09/30/2009? wtf thats long.
Anyway WoW sucks Blizzard made alot good games but WoW is retarded,i dont think the new expansion will attract alot people because around the time that the expansion will be released an game called Guild Wars 2 will be launched. I readed some interviews and it sounds cool and if you look at the graphics of Guild wars 1, then the graphics of GW 2 must really be beautifel, i would say that GW 2 is an sort of new and alot better WoW.
That was my long post.
lol.
July 3rd, 2008 at 5:08 pm
the made they showed the intervention at paris and said it was coming out soon nd i have also hear that the release date was 12/31/09 long time from now
July 3rd, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Too much buzz long before the anticipated release. I think this might actually hurt the actual release. Now whenever they announce the game is coming out, gamers will think its another one of those publicity stunt.
July 3rd, 2008 at 6:20 pm
no actually release date has been released yet so i would just say dont listen to anyone about the release date untill its offical
July 3rd, 2008 at 7:14 pm
I belive that the game could be out as erly as march 09 simply due to the fact that they’ve been working a long time despite the recent trailers and video. Tho having the trailers and videos out im to believe early or middle 09. It all depends on when SC2 comes out, blizz will try and space these 2 out to make more profit. Thats y i am to believe that D3 will be coming out aroun 3-5 months after SC2 hits stores, so that would leave it releasing twords the March-July area. hoped this helped.
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
i saw release date today and im not sure if its for sure but it said Lich king 11/03/08 Starcraft 2 12/03/08 but Diablo 3 not till 12/31/09 witch has been said before by someone and im not sure its for sure but im pretty sure it is
July 4th, 2008 at 6:31 pm
no way its 12/31/09 the game is practically finished, plus its using battle.net so theres not as of an alpha/beta test, the game is almost done alpha testing……. to put it this way WotLK is about done alpha testing, so theres no way this take 15 more months to finish
July 5th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I no its long time and it might not be true its just what i read but im having a hard time believing it
July 6th, 2008 at 12:56 am
allright as long as you dont buy that bull.. lol
July 16th, 2008 at 8:19 pm
i am ready to purchase a brandnew PC purely for D3!
just love it!
July 23rd, 2008 at 7:04 am
Now I have to buy a new computer as well
Looking forward to Diablo 3 and will enjoy DSiablo 2 until it get here
July 29th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
To those people saying that there is no way that diablo 3 will be released in that long, i say it is a good shot. Myself being a huge diablo fan am NOT looking forward to the wait. But if you take a look on blizzards diablo 3 FAQ, you can see that they say they are looking into 5 or 6 characters for diablo 3. They have only completed 2. They also mentioned they will take as long as they can to make the characters as detailed as they can. This is just MY opinion. Like it or hate it, it doesn’t matter to me. Im guessing those estimations of diablo coming out in the march-july area of 2009 is a good chance. I guess we will have to stay tuned to the diablo 3 website. I have always been a huge diablo fan but I have quit diablo 2 recently… I don’t think I will start playing D2 again, but when D3 hits storeshelves, not even the sticker price will stop me from getting that game! Hope this helped

yea i am sure it will be wuite a while like he said 5-6 charactors classes and you can choose between male of female versions of each. i’ll wait as long as it is worth it and i am thinking that it will be and much more
August 21st, 2008 at 12:43 am
i heard a date from a very very reliable source, (no names can be named, if u know what i mean) of around 8 months from now, putting it at a march-july date
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:25 pm
where do you play diablo 3? ps2? wii? xbox? just asking.. :p ty
