→Diablo 3: Release Date Through The Years
<blue>While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year. We were too. However, this week we pulled together people from all of the teams involved with the game to decide whether we felt it would be ready before the end of December, and we grudgingly came to the conclusion that it would not. Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that lives up to our expectations and yours as well, we should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different elements of the game.</blue>
* '''February 10 2012''' - During the Activision Blizzard financial conference call, Mike Morhaime announced that the game would now release in Q2 2012 which takes it out of the previously stated "early 2012" release date window. <ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-release-date-slips Diablo3 Release Date Slips] Mike Morhaime, Blizzard, 9/2/1112</ref>
<blue>We have implemented changes which will greatly improve the game experience and final release will live up to the highest expectations. We expect launch to be a big opportunity for Blizzard. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.</blue>
