After much speculation, after a lengthy beta, after almost 12 years...hell will be unleashed again.  Diablo 3 is coming to retailers and Battle.net on May 15th, Blizzard have announced today.  The action RPG is part of a series that is one of the most popular and longest played co-op series of all time.

"After many years of hard work by our development team and months of beta testing by hundreds of thousands of dedicated players around the world, we’re now in the homestretch," said Mike Morhaime, CEO and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We look forward to putting the final polish on Diablo III over the next two months and delivering the ultimate action-RPG experience to gamers worldwide starting on May 15."

Diablo 3 will feature four player online co-op where players can choose from five different character classes.  You can see our coverage of the Beta right here including our impressions of the character classes.

Diablo 3 will be available on the PC in two versions - standard and collector's edition.  The game will be free with a World of Warcraft Annual Pass Purchase and digital presales via Battle.net have begun.

A little late for my birthday, but I'll forgive them.

I think my last assignment for this semester is due 2 days after the 15th May. Factoring in the usual timezone and shipping delays for Australia, it'll probably be released when my last assignment is due... excellent timing!

So, any guesses on the console release date? Late fall 2021?

I hope so, but then I don't hope so. Already looking forward to Borderlands 2 and Aliens: Colonial Marines. Three must-have games in Fall 2012?! My wallet isn't gonna like me, especially if they end up releasing that Baldur's Gate remake (due in summer 2012) on consoles also. This year could be as bad as last year!

I think you're guilty of a little wishful thinking in reading my post, Bob! Check those last two digits!

ah yes, diablo 3 finally released on the ps6/xbox1800! i'll be skipping the PC version because of the always-online DRM requirement and lack of LAN support, which were a couple of the reasons i passed on sc2 also. my sc2 boycott may have finally been upgraded to a full on blizzard boycott! i'll rent the console version as i'm perfectly fine with putting money in gamefly's pockets.

torchlight 2 is looking better and better.
