Wow, more WoW is coming than I anticipated.

Also, way too long for the entire SC2 story to come out....

Yeah, but knowing Blizzard, these dates will probably slip by a little bit. Still, I can't believe we won't get the final Starcraft expansion until 2013... o.o

TITAN!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who follows Blizzard would have been able to tell you about the expansions for WoW, and for StarCraft to a lesser extent. That being said, Blizzard are like Valves anti-thesis, in the fact that they'll have a release target internally, but they won't announce a date publicly unless they know there's no way they can miss it. Valve on the other hand, give a date when they announce it and then throw it back months at a time.

So there's a chance they might actually make a good game eventually? Nah, not likely.

Blizzard couldn't possibly keep that schedule. Add a years to each of those dates and it might be more accurate. MIGHT be more accurate.

Starcraft II expansions and Diablo III= Awesome.

@Qraze
in an empire of lies :)

I think the most interesting entry is "BNET23RDPARTIES". Is Blizzard setting up BattleNET to compete with Steam?

haha i wonder how much moeny in marketing they had planned out for all this

No online Rock N'Roll Racing? Fail, Blizzard. Fail.

will this potentially damaging leak change the timelines for any games and can expect entirely new approaches/games now as a result? I guess it would seem almost illogical to think that a leak, that would eventually let slip anyways, change anything drastically because time is money and the ideas are already on the table, but still, a man can dream can't he?

If you read this news article replacing every "S" with "$", you'll get an idea of the end result of Blizzard's five-year plan, too.

I know the SC2 timeframe should not come as any surprise, but I REALLY wanna continue that story before the end of next year.

*high fives Badical*

New to me, I have a full time job and Dtoid is my source for 99% gaming related stuff.

We're boned, they're going to change all the release dates now.

I want Warcraft 4. I enjoyed Reign of Chaos and Frozen Throne's campaigns more than the entirety of WoW, and with the insistance of killing off all the big bads (I am assuming the next WoW expansion will have raids killing Sargeras or something ridiculous), there is going to be nothing left for a new game. Plus they seem content for WoW to just be an MMO IP, and Starcraft to be their RTS IP. And I just don't enjoy Starcraft's campaigns as much, they are like diluted W40K.

I am looking forward to Diablo III and its expansions though.

'Da fuck is the Phoenix campaign??

Titan...ic? A game based on the Titanic?

Cash grabs... cash grabs everywhere

Games that aren't RTS', MMOs, or RPGs that get boring after a few hours 8). Not my fault Blizzard has only made the kinds of games I hate so far. To be fair I love the Lost Vikings, and Diablo 1 is kind of fun just because it's fairly short at least. Couldn't get past halfway through Act II without being bored to death by Diablo II though, and everything else is RTS and MMO...

I thank myself for being smart enough to have only bought Burning Crusade. Destroying my epics every 1-2 years over greens, lvling 4-5 chars and then farming gear all over again for the lot of them to enjoy endgame content is not my idea of fun. This game is solely driven by greed nowadays, instead of having a progression curve like one did in Classic when they introduced NAXX and such, which you could then access and try to beat after getting your gear from MC, ZG and BWL and continuing progressing on top of that gradually, they totally disrespected that mass of players by introducing the first expansion and continue to do that with every new one. It's completely ridiculous to have to pay for expansions when you're already dishing out 13€ a month and no other game does that. You either have the Guild Wars scheme, f2p as long as you buy the expnasions, or the typical monthly fee game and that should more than cover the gradual improvement and expansion of the game. As for Cataclysm I can't even see where the Cataclysm is, I saw some before and after images of the areas they changed and saw a complete lack of destruction, besides that flooded area which name I can't remember and the improvement of SW and Org (and flooding an area from a 3d developer's point of view is something they do in what, 5 minutes?). It's hard to believe there's even people paying for minipets, race changes and the like, that lot surely doesn't work for their money, do they? Well... I guess the community gets what it deserves, if we had taken a stand a long time ago they'd have changed their ways but since everyone keeps dishing out the dollars and euros they'll just keep it up. Regarding Starcraft I downloaded some leaked beta and uninstalled it after one day (RTS is not my thing anyway), Diablo III I'm looking forward to give it a shot, if the online multiplayer is worth it I may consider paying for it.

"Diablo III will release in the fourth quarter of 2011, at the same time StarCraft II gets an expansion and the Phoenix campaign." (from the leak)

4th quarter fiscally is 2012. We could still be on for that to be true. And hell it guessed the dev name of the mmo correctly so there has to be something in it.
