Diablo III Beta Given to BlizzCon Attendees and New Gameplay Footage

At the close of this year’s BlizzCon, Blizzard announced that they will be holding a semi-public beta for Diablo III. They gave away 1,000 beta codes to random attendees who went to the closing of the event. Does this mean there is reason to be hopeful that the title will be releasing in the near future instead of two years from now? Maybe, but remember they gave away beta codes for StarCraft II at the 2008 BlizzCon and the beta didn’t come till this year. While those lucky fans take part in the beta, those of us will have to sit at home and watch the new gamplay footage over and over, wishing we could play Diablo III. Check out the new footage.

Personally, I need to start saving up so I can be prepared for its release date. So far, I like what I see.
