Are they still following this leaked product slate at all? If so, the 2 major releases are diablo 3 and hots, with the wow expo coming later.

Summer or fall 2012. The game seems pretty well along.

I'm pretty sure HOTS will be out before Mists. The way they talked about it at Blizzcon, it seemed like it was high priority along with Diablo 3. Also, Pre-order is available for Diablo 3 and HOTS, but not Mists. Pre-order for WoL didn't happen until well into the beta, so I feel this one is pretty close to being launched. Honestly, I kind of expect beta to launch over the 2011-2012 holidays with the game launching no later than summer 2012.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

I think they are saying Mists of Pandaria might go to 2013.
It's not that long when they announced it.

Hmmmm it might not even be mists of pandaria? Didn't the quote say 2 majors releases, one is D3 the other is going to be the new call of duty?

However there usual timeline suggests to me, it will be the standard 3 games 3 quarters from blizzard themselves.

D3 - Spring 2012
Panda - Summer/Autumn
HOTS - This time next year (start of nov-1st week into december)

Then again like they said in the overall posts, WoW has been losing subscribers and theres lots of MMORPGs that are being anticipated to come out, the likes of SWTOR is out the end of this year (couple of weeks i beleive) and GW3 will be out by summer next year, that leaves Panda expansion needing to be out late next year to try and bring back those people who will leave WoW to play those games, they need to intice them back some how...not with some unkown patch to add a new heoric or 2

HotS is probably delayed to help promote the popularity of D3 and to implement the custom map online shop features, also after seeing how ridiculously overpowered the new units are, they'll need all the time they can get to balance the game,

i think that's the important thing to look for. as much as i hate when people pick apart sentences that likely weren't carefully worded, i think that HOTS is not a "new title" in blizzard's mind. it's just an expansion. a game like D3 is a totally new title.

with all the content blizzard has released about HOTS, it doesn't really feel like it will take a year to prep it for beta. at this point there isn't really much else for blizz to do other than balance the units and maybe finish up the campaign (which they've obviously spent the most time on).

They could count HotS as a major release I guess, but I don't know why they would. I guess it's major in the sense that it'll sell around half a million to a million copies, but I'd expect Blizzard to reserve that designation for something much bigger.

In all likelihood HotS just isn't what Activision-Blizzard considers to be a "major release."


Well in February sc2 had sold 4.5 million copies so I am pretty sure HOTS will sell at least half of that, and a lot of people will buy it just for the campaign (a ton of people don't play competitively you have to remember that).


And how many people will buy more than 2 copies?

I'll need to eventually buy 3 lol >.>

Things are getting delayed looking at that product slate. D3 is not in Q4 in 2011 but obviously it was intended to be since Mike felt the need to make a statement about D3 being released early 2012 instead.

Starcraft 2 X1, also not in Q4 2011.

And just seeing Titan 2013 Q4 is just LOL.

Blizzard will maybe announce Titan in 2013 but hardly release it then.

WoW movie in Q4 2012? Rofl...

They have a working alpha so it wouldn't be impossible for them to have a HotS beta early next year.

I think Diablo will be early 2012 - like January or February. I think/hope that HoTS will go into beta around Diablos release then retail will be sold in July or August. Mists of Pandaria will probably be released next year, Cataclysm took about 2 years to make, I would assume MoP would take about that long as well.


Cataclysm took 2 years because they had to remake all the "old" world because..well..of the cataclysm. Blizzard also said that they want to release WoW expansions faster than before and the last WoW raid of the expansion is coming soon.
That being said, I think Diablo3 will be released early 2012. It's not that easy to predict the WoW expansion and HoTS yet, because we don't know anything about the betas of these two games(when they will be available etc).

Oh and of course, they said "at least 2 releases"
