Så skete det endelig. Årets største annoncering er endelig landet på redaktionen, og både rusherne og det ganske internet er i oprør. Diablo III har fået en endelig dato. Den 14. maj skal du bruge på at sige farvel til dine venner, skrive afskedsbreve til familiemedlemmer, købe et års forbrug af blomster og smykker til kæresten, sige op fra arbejdet eller søge orlov fra dit studie. Diablo III udkommer nemlig den 15. maj. Det er ikke rygter. Det er ikke gætværk. Blizzard skriver kort og koncist - evil is back - 15.05.12. Dette kan ikke misforståes. Ondskaben vender tilbage inden sommeren går igang, hvilket kun betyder en ting Sommerferien skal klikkes væk med millioner af klik på din yndlingsmus. Du har præcis to måneder til at lægge dit liv om og indstille dig på, at Diablo III konsumerer dig. Via den officielle Battle.net side kan du - efter du er færdig med at græde af glæde - enten forudbestille Diablo III eller få spillet ganske gratis, ved at købe et World of Warcraft Annual Pass. Lad champagnepropperne flyve. Diablo III er på vej.
