Vice President of Blizzard, Rob Pardo, has said the company's goal is to get Diablo 3 out by the end of 2011, but that Blizzard are happy to delay the game to "get it right."

Responding to questions from Kotaku about whether Diablo 3 could come out this year, Pardo said "we really, really hope so. That's our goal. Our goal is to get there. But you know, at the end of the day, we are going to get it right. That's more important."

"We're going to promise, we're going to get it out there when it's awesome. And, we're crossing our fingers, maybe it will be this year."
