Gamers Itching For Diablo 3 Release Date
One of the most anticipated games that will be released soon is the latest sequel to the very popular Diablo and Diablo 2. With the last game released way back in 2000, you can understand why those fans waiting for this third game in the series have been speculating just when the Diablo 3 release date will be announced.
It was at the end of 1996 that Blizzard released the first ever game, a role playing game set in a dark fantasy world called Sanctuary. Diablo immediately caused a stir in the industry with some revolutionary new ideas, concepts that became pretty much the norm in other video games for many years to come.
It was different from other RPG titles available, with hack and slash action rather than turn-based, and this exciting real time action made it popular as a multiplayer game too. The sequel in 2000, was for many years one of the most popular of all online games.
Originally released on PC, and Mac shortly after, Diablo also came out on the Playstation in 1998. Number 2 though was strictly for the PC and Mac, and at this point those two platforms are the only confirmed versions of Diablo 3, though there has been speculation that it will follow on consoles like the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
This series is one of the world’s biggest selling, and in fact they set records in 2000 when Diablo 2 sold more copies in two weeks than any game before it. Numerous awards and rave reviews followed, and so it is quite understandable just why this latest sequel is as anticipated as it is. Ever since the announcement from Blizzard in 2008 that it was being developed again, blogs, forums and news sites have been abuzz about a possible Diablo 3 release date.
Of course there are other reasons people are so excited to see the game. Apart from this series, Blizzard are also responsible for a few other series that cause as much excitement. They have just released Starcraft 2, twelve years after the original, one of the biggest releases of 2010. And of course their other title, the Warcraft series, led to the massively multiplayer online role-playing game World of Warcraft. This MMORPG is the most subscribed to online game in the world, and has more than 12 million players.
