Wow, this rumor puts the Diablo 3 release date on 09-09-09!
A recent rumor that Diablo III will be released BEFORE Starcraft 2 actually prompted Blizzard to officially address the issue of the release date.
Here’s the summary in short: Battle.net 2.0 will be released simultaneously with the release of Starcraft 2. The best guess for that is early 2009, with a Starcraft 2 beta coming out late in 2008.
So Diablo 3 will come out AFTER that … possibly by the end of 2009. An encouraging news will be if Blizzard have a playable “demo” at Blizzcon.
Update: Here’s the quote from Rob Pardo (Wired blog):
A lot of the way we develop is: We wanna make sure the game is really fun and the visual fidelity we want … we wanna make sure we have a small area that feels really done so we know what to build. So even though it looks really complete a lot of the content is just not there. We have a long ways to go to build each of the different acts in the game and put in all the quests and all the different monsters. We have a lot of development ahead of us before it will be something … It will definitely be out after StarCraft II.”
I hope this answers the last comment!

Hey guys, I recommend you guys going out and reading the Diablo books while you wait. Will help kill some time.
yea i to have been waiting for over like…5 years? for the release of this game.
all i can say is trailers and all this hype could spoil the game for me, so im trying to watch too many trailers or get too into it until its actually out
however – diablo 3 looks like 1 of the best pc games out in a long long time and im pretty sure apart from starcraft 2, wil be the best pc game for a long long time after

Go to Blizzards web site and find out for urselfs
On September 13, 2008 there was a rumor posted on a popular fansite that Diablo 3 would come BEFORE StarCraft 2.
As of July 2, 2008, there is no set release date for Diablo 3. This follows Blizzard’s policy of releasing when “it’s ready”.
From the official Diablo 3 FAQ:
It’s too early to estimate Diablo III’s release date. As with all Blizzard Entertainment games, our goal is to create a game that is as fun, balanced, and polished as possible. We intend to take as much time developing Diablo III as is necessary to ensure the game meets our own high expectations and those of our players.
9/9/09 release date is just stupid, it could come before or after this date NO ONE KNOWS!
[...] at the lighting, I think it’s extremely appropriate for a Diablo 3 trailer. Hopefully, Diablo 3’s release date will be announced [...]
