Blizzard: No Diablo 3 in 2010

In a recent interview, Blizzard’s Rob Pardo commented that “We always announce all of our games too early,” he says. “I think it’s safe to say that, yeah, [Diablo 3] is not going to be out next year.”

With other major Blizzard titles due out next year, with Starcraft II pushed back to 2010 (originally slated for 2009) and the next expansion for World of Warcraft – Cataclysm due out next year as well, next year would be a rather crowded affair for Blizzard games given the fanbase down have a fair amount of overlap.

So that of course poses the question – if not next year, does that definitely mean 2011 for Diablo 3?  Blizzard’s response to such questions is of course the standard “it’ll be released when its ready”.  No doubt details will be leaked in financial statements closer to the actual release date that usually reveal the quarter that a major title is due out.
