Diablo 3 Release Date Announced by Blizzard

by admin on June 28, 2008

Diablo 3 has been official unveiled by Blizzard today, during a press conference at their Worldwide Invitational event, taking place at the Porte de Versailles Expo Centre in Paris.

It’s too early to estimate Diablo III’s release date. Blizzard.com said it’s goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. Blizzard said they intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets their own high expectations and those of their players.

Blizzard Entertainment is developing Diablo III for simultaneous release on the Windows and Macintosh PC platforms. Also added to the argument is the fact that Blizzard has never used a teaser reveal for a release date, supposedly ruling out a Lich King-related.

Some details of the Diablo iii release from the Blizzard Website:

*  Yes, the new game is in full 3D using Blizzard’s own in-house graphics engine.
* The game’s storyline takes place 20 years after the events of Diablo II where a comet impactsthe place where Diablo once entered the game’s fantasy world. Obviously, stuff happens.
* The game will have five character classes. Some of the old character classes in the first two games like the Barbarian will return but there’s all new classes such as the Witch Doctor.
* Diablo III’s world will be more interactive with traps, destructible environments and Havok supported game physics.
* In addition to single player, there will be a full multiplayer experience via Blizzard’s Battle.net system including co-op.
* As usual, Blizzard has not yet revealed a release date but it will be released for both Windows and Macintosh PCs at the same time (no console versions have been announced).
* One minor note; the game’s lead designer is Jay Wilson who came to Blizzard from Relic Entertainment where he was the lead designer for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.

The game’s web site has a cinematic trailer and a 20 minute gameplay movie, we hope to have both uploaded onto Big Download soon. In the meantime both WowInsider and Joystiq are reporting from the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational where the game announcement was made.

While slightly off topic to our usual Cell Phone and Ringtone related posts, many of our readers also enjoy sell phone games as well as the offerings by Blizzard so this is great news. On a final note, have a look at the high res screenshot Diablo 3 from Blizzard.com which we here at Unlimited Complimentary Ringtones feel is pretty sexy as far as games are concerned.
