The long awaited RPG, Diablo III, is delayed again say Activision, with a launch in late spring or early summer now looking likely...
The Diablo series has a very loyal fanbase, which is lucky, as it's certainly needed it over the last few months. The next instalment of the hack and slash lootfest was originally expected sometime in 2011, but has suffered several delays. More recently, the game was expected to release in early 2012, meaning fans had just a little while longer to wait, but the light was shining at the end of the tunnel.
Well, now that's not quite the case, and Activision has announced, in its financial yearly report, that the game will most likely ship in the second quarter, meaning sometime in the April-June period.
The publisher also stated that there's only going to be one more title from Blizzard this year, even though the dev team are currently also working on Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm and WoW: Mists of Pandaria. Our money's on the panda-centric WoW update arriving first.
Whilst this isn't exactly a huge setback, it's yet another push back for the release of a game that an army of fans are watering at the mouth for.
