ARGGg... heart breaking news to Diablo 3 fan..

[Kurty]

Blizzard has announced that the release of its upcoming hack-and-slash role-playing game, Diablo III, will be delayed until next year, due to unfinished features.

After 11 years in production, the company finally announced a release date of 15 May a few weeks ago, but angered some fans when it revealed that player-versus-player (PvP) combat would not make it into the launch version.

 

Another Blizzard blunder involved a community manager telling players to lower their expectations of the game, a claim that was countered by the game's director, Jay Wilson. Today's announcement, however, shows that the game must remain in a very uncompleted state, and Blizzard is well-known for its reluctance to release projects that it is not happy with.

disclaimer:

 

myself don't know if the above statement is as correct, some proclaimed de facto while some, april fool joke.

 

don't flame me.. i just happen to come across this news [bounce1]

[Chewbacca]

Wahlau eh, it says it's Aprils fool right after the article leh.

[JackRabbit]

blizzard official site never say la... this must be april fool joke.

 

If they dare to delay 1 year after all the 15 May launch hype - the company sure kena blasted by the fans...

[Antlau]

if it is untrue, i.e. D3 will be released as on 15 May, can Blizzard sue the reporters?

 

This is really a lousy Apr's Fool joke, and it will create unnecessary anger, anxiety among the fans and company alike. It may even cause the company to lose a lot of fans as well as being sued by the fans.. I have too, been waiting for the release of D3 since dont know when....

Still way better than Duke Nukem Forever, took 15 years of development, in the end got "mediocre" rating
