Speaking with gaming and gadget consumer site, Techland, Blizzard’s executive vice president of game design, Rob Pardo, has confirmed that Diablo III will not be releasing next year, and is uncertain when a solidified release date will be available for the hugely anticipated action RPG.

This may come as a disappointment to fans of the series, to which Pardo and co. at Blizzard are sympathetic, as he laments over the fact that the developer always seems to announce its games “too early,” but always strives to announce its next game closer to its respective release date, which is difficult, says Pardo:

“We realize that and go, ‘You know what? Next time we’re not going to [announce games too early].’ And then we always fail at that. But I’d rather fail at that than fail at making the game great. I think it’s safe to say that, yeah, (Diablo III) is not going to be out next year.”
