So wie man Blizzard kennt, werden sie den Film erst fertigstellen, wenn die Qualität stimmt.

Gibt es doch noch Hoffnung für ein Diablo in diesem Jahr? Blizzard möchte jedenfalls mit dieser Stellungnahme per E-Mail klar stellen, dass einige Informationen aus dem Conference Call falsch interpretiert worden seien, dass Diablo III auf einem guten Weg sei und noch nicht offiziell mit einem Termin aus dem Kalenderjahr 2011 gestrichen wurde:

"As always, we greatly appreciate the interest in our upcoming games. However, we want to make sure it's clear that what was stated on the investor conference call was this: Blizzard has not announced a release date for its next global release. IF we don't release a major title in 2011, then for planning purposes we would expect to launch 2 titles in 2012.

This has been misreported/misinterpreted as an announced release schedule for 2011 and 2012, which it is not. While we're pleased with the progress of Diablo III, we have not announced a release date for it or for any other upcoming Blizzard game. We're currently contacting a number of outlets to request that they make the appropriate corrections in order to avoid any further confusion."
