Diablo 3 release Date: May 15 2012

***UPDATE - MAY 15TH, 2012 = RELEASE***


I usually don't follow leaks, however this one is quite convincing since the leak came from the Italian division of the game publisher.

Activision Italy has revealed to Italy’s biggest retailers Diablo III release date, yet to be officially confirmed worldwide by Blizzard but solid enough to be trusted. It’ll be on 17 April and the prices are fixed at 54,90€ for the standard edition and 89,90€ for the CE.

I would add that, for what it’s worth, yesterday I went to Mediaworld here in Italy and for the first time I saw the preorder box for Diablo III that on the rear side had written: “For sale in April”.

As noted in the full translation, it is stated that Activision Italy told the date to vendors, so take that for what its worth

And I can't believe it's 54 Euros = 71.3124 U.S. dollars for the STANDARD game. Ouch.

I'm still in the "I'll believe it when I see it" mind set when it comes to Blizzard games, though

A few weeks ago while at game stop buying the witcher 2, the salesman showed me his screen showing Diablo 3 being released on June 2nd. But in all reality we won't know until blizzard officially announces it.

that is quite an ambitious release date.

Playing the beta, and there are a TON of bugs still including not being able to join public games and major AH issues.

I`d pay $200 for it if they wanted

From people that have been playing the beta I've heard that they didn't expect it to get released til June or later. So I'm pretty skeptical. I just snagged a couple of beta keys, gonna check it out when I can.

How did you snag beta keys? I've never been able to acquire one Kinda wanted to try out the classes prior to release so I wouldn't waste time lol.

I want a beta key.

bah, I lost interest in D3, whenever they release I will order it afterwards, also dunno, the beta doesn't seem too interesting, everybody has the same char, not funny at all... no diversity!

I'll maybe wait until it drops to a sale price of $30 to $20. I noticed the beta's graphics were just like Neverwinter Night 2's graphics. But I didn't like Torchlight's graphics. I wish D3 had Torchlight's pet and sending the pet off to sell stuff.

I just pre ordered mine at Gamestop. Their system said May 3rd. But I assume this is like any other situation where it can be pushed up or back
