Diablo III Release date not before 2011 as Blizzard call it: The Next Few Years.

This Friday Activision/Blizzard showed their quarterly financial info conference calls and Mike Morhaime had the following to say about Diablo 3 Release Date:

One game Morhaime barely discussed was Diablo III. The latest hack ‘n slash sequel was not said to be part of Blizzard’s 2010 pipeline, while StarCraft II and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm are. Morhaime mentioned Diablo III as part of Blizzard’s “pipeline,” but that’s all he would say.

Bashiok support the info about Release date of Diablo 3 in 2011.

You’re all true fans. You’re posting in a forum, a lot of you daily or at least weekly for a game that most of you already expected was at least a year away. You’re the passionate core of our community. Don’t lose sight of that.

We’re working hard to make a great game – and we announce as early as we do because we want you along for the ride. It’s important for us to show all of you what we’re working on and see what you think. It’s integral to the development process. We can’t just work in a vacuum, in a lot of ways we depend on you to let us know what’s up so we can make a game that we’re sure everyone is going to love.

So … we got a little time. We still got plenty to show. Grab a chair. Stay a while.
