The full HOTS release will most likely be in 2013, but the Beta should come out in late 2012 or so, I can't imagine they'd wait a whole 'nother year before even the Beta is released.

I'd imagine it'd be at least something like this... from a marketing perspective, it would be nice for the release or reservations to come out for the holiday season, no?

Although, to be frank, Blizzard doesn't half-ass games in order to rush and push forwards release dates. I'm willing to wait a little more for a more solid game, if they're consistently working on it. I'm not going anywhere

This isn't really a bad thing.
If they would release HOTS right in the middle of the tournament season it would screw up a lot of things.
Releasing it around X-mas would be best.

Wish it wasn't a whole year to release HotS, really want it out now.
Also, I'm reading D3 coming out in Q2

Diablo 3 has already been said to be a Q2 release, and I would assume HOTS comes before MOP, but nothing has been mentioned about this from what i know of.

Source? I really hope that is true because I actually do not like Diablo 3 at the moment despite spending hundreds (maybe thousands) of hours on Diablo 2. The game BADLY needs skill trees.

Makes sense if you think about that Blizzard just announced a year long cup, to release the game just as it finishes

Key quote (paragraph 2):
"In addition we’re working on major changes to the skill and rune systems that we’re not ready to talk about, but I promise you we can’t possibly ship without a finished skill and rune system. "

EDIT: this thread really needs to have title changed or closed or something, it's speculative information at best.

What on earth makes you believe HOTS would take priority over MOP? Blizzard is currently losing $2,250,000 per month due to lost WoW subs and that amount will increase until MOP is released. Meanwhile Blizzard is losing nothing by delaying HOTS. That's just the current situation... not even accounting for the fact that MOP will sell ten times as many copies as HOTS does.

Good. Maybe they will use this time to redesign some of the new units/changes, some of them are just awful

What an unecessary drama thread, it should at the very least have a question mark in the title. This is just pure speculations on your part, backed up by no facts.

It may aswell be WoW expo or Diablo 3 that is delayed.

I don't mind if HotS will be released in 2013, but beta stage just HAS TO start in this year.

I don't understand why there are so many illiterate people posting in this thread. Like, I understand you want HOTS now but it's dumb to get so angry and go into denial mode over this.

Fact: Diablo III slated for Q2 release
Fact: Mists of Pandaria out this year

You guys really need to stop being so delusional and going "oh well maybe d3 won't be out until 2013, not hots!" I mean come on now :/

Title is not misleading at all, reading comprehension for the win. D3 = 2012 Q2, MoP = 2012 Q4, HotS = 2013...

I bet its diablo that is delayed as well.... in all honesty, I wouldnt be surprised if they both got delayed to 2013. It's just a trend with many video games these days, especially ones from Blizz.

trend is to publish them too early, because theyre losing too much money durcing the developement process.
Have to give Blizz credits to not publish games too early.
