One confirmed thing is that the demo showcased by the development team at BlizzCon won’t be making it to the virtual seas, sorry guys.
The only place they were going to show it was at BlizzCon but that doesn’t mean they won’t whip something up for future events in demo form again.
”I think this is the only place we’re going to show it,” said Blizzard’s VP of Game Design Rob Pardo, speaking with Joystiq.
”We’ll probably do something similar for a future show, but we’re definitely not going to release it on the internet or anything like that. I’m sure it will have a beta at some point.”
To say Blizzard’s beta programs are ‘hot’ would be an understatement if you take into account the fever that ran around getting a Lick King key. Now what kind of madness would ensue if they announced a Diablo III beta…?
