It looks like the speculation can finally come to an end; Blizzard has made it clear that we will in fact see two big releases in 2010... and unfortunately one of them is not Diablo 3. That's right, the game will be coming in 2011, or later.

Shacknews has the scoop. "Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime has confirmed that just-revealed World of Warcraft expansion Cataclysm and StarCraft II are the two titles the company expects to hit in 2010," the site reported.

With StarCraft II coming in 2010, Blizzard claimed on the Activision Blizzard earnings call that we can expect two big Blizzard releases coming in 2010, but we were then warned not to make any assumptions about what those two games would be. While we guessed—incorrectly, it turns out—that Diablo 3 would be the other title, our dreams have been crushed.
