Diablo III Beta to Begin This Summer, Retail Release Possibly This Year?

Guess what long-awaited PC sequel is going to get a beta this summer! Diablo III, that's what! After years of fans itching for more dungeun crawling, hack-n-slashing, and just looting, it's about time that we have more info for this sequel. Rumored for many years and then officially announced in 2008, you can't help, but keep this on your radar, especially when there's a beta abound.

During a confernce call, Michael Morhaime announced that the beta would be during the summer between  July and Sepember. "I want to be clear that we do not have an official release date or window yet," Morhaime said. With betas always being the closest thing to playing the full game and the fact that betas these days come out sooner than most games, it's not something that you'd just want to brush off and wait. Eyes will be peeled for this one; no doubt about it.

Mentioned by Joystiq, Morhaime did say that the team is trying to get it released before 2012
