Diablo 3's release date was highly anticipated and was rumoured to be February 1, but that day came and went without the game being released. The game's developers neither confirmed nor denied this date. However, the expected window of release is the first or second quarter of the year 2012. Most websites started speculating and even approximating when exactly the game would be released.
It was widely anticipated that the game would be released on February 1 with a countdown clock to the date posted on it. However, the game's developer ended up saying that Diablo3 does not have a specific timeline. Most of the game's fans take comfort in the knowledge that the game will be released, maybe even sooner than they think.
Most online retailers predict the dates of certain popular online games before the official date. Most of the time, their predictions are correct. One online retail giant had placed the date at April 17 2012, but removed it from its site, maybe after noting it may be wrong. As for now the date has been placed on the year 2012. This means that the game developer has no official release date yet, and they will give the release date once they are ready to do so.
The game developers, during their last quarterly results, announced that the date of the release would fall anywhere between April and June 2012. So the April 17 estimate was somehow approximate. The estimated April 17 also falls under the second quarter of this year which falls between April and June. Given the popularity and the keen interest of the game, it is expected that the launch will offer a big opportunity for the game's developers.
Most people have expressed that the delay may have been brought about by recent job cuts in the game's developing company. However, the company was quick to respond that the job cuts will not have any effect on Diablo 3's release date.
In the meantime, the developing company is improving the game's beta. They recently released a beta patch 13 which has completely remodelled the game's rune system and the character skill. The developers have also detailed the new streamlined systems which separate the character's skills into separate right-click attack; left-click attack and action bar abilities. In a certain blog post, one of the game developers fully explains the rune and skill system in a detailed way. Although the game's release date is uncertain, one thing is for sure that the developers are waiting to put together their best product so far before the game's release date even if it means more delays.
Most online retailers predict the release dates of certain popular online games before the official date. Such is the case for Diablo 3's release date.
