“Soon” Was Too Soon -- Diablo III to Arrive in Early 2012

plot

上市时间再次推迟

We commonly use the term “soon” when referring to Blizzard releases, because we know that no matter how hard we’re working to reach a target, we’re not going to compromise and launch a game before it’s ready. For Diablo III, we were aiming to launch by the end of 2011. As we’re announcing globally today, our new target for the game is early 2012.
While this news might not be a complete surprise, I know that many of you were hopeful that Diablo III would ship this year. We were too. However, this week we pulled together people from all of the teams involved with the game to decide whether we felt it would be ready before the end of December, and we grudgingly came to the conclusion that it would not. Ultimately, we feel that to deliver an awesome Diablo sequel that lives up to our expectations and yours as well, we should take a little more time and add further polish to a few different elements of the game.
The upside of today’s announcement is that we will be running the beta test longer than we initially planned, which will allow us to invite more of you who have opted in.
For those taking on the Diableard challenge, we salute you -- and now fear for your well-being and personal hygiene. We hereby issue an official reprieve to all Diableard participants, including Blizzard employees, if you want to trim or otherwise manage the lower half of your face. We’d still love to see your beardly achievements, and we look forward to seeing more of your efforts as we move into 2012, but not to the detriment of your workplaces and significant others.
Thank you everyone for your support and anticipation for Diablo III. We’re still moving ahead at full pace, and we’ll be keeping you fully informed of any news and developments here at Diablo3.com, including the specific release date when the time comes, so stay tuned.

-Mike Morhaime

　　每次我们谈到暴雪娱乐游戏的发布时间，我们总是用"即将发布"或者"很快发布"这样的词汇。因为我们知道，无论我们多么努力，多么希望它能按时上市，我们都不会牺牲游戏的质量来换取发布时间。对于《暗黑破坏神 III》，我们曾经希望能够在2011年底发布这款游戏，但正如我们刚刚发布的通告

　　也许这并不是一个令人吃惊的消息。我知道许多玩家都希望《暗黑破坏神 III》今年能够上市，我们其实也有相同的愿望。但是本周，当我们把《暗黑破坏神 III》的相关团队聚在一起，讨论这款游戏时，我们还是很不情愿地得出这样一个结论——它无法以暴雪的质量标准在12月底以前完成。总的来说，要带给大家一部高质量的《暗黑破坏神》系列续作，使其达到我们和大家的期望，我们觉得还需要再多一点时间，从而为该游戏的不同元素进行更多的雕琢和打磨。

　　当然，对于今天所公布的消息，大家也应该看到其积极的一面——封测因此比原计划有所延长，而更多的玩家也将因此有机会获得邀请，参与到封测之中。

　　对于各位参加了"大菠胡"的玩家，我们向你致敬，但是我们现在也很担心您的个人卫生问题。为此，我们决定给各位"大菠胡"活动的参加者（包括暴雪自己的员工）递上一份官方的"缓刑通知"——您可以稍微修剪一下自己的胡子了。我们还是非常希望见证您的"大菠胡成就"，特别当2012来临的时候，我们想看到越来越多的"胡子" ——前提是希望这不会给您的工作伙伴、家人和朋友带来什么不良的影响。

　　感谢各位对于《暗黑破坏神 III》的支持与期待。我们仍旧在全速前进。同时，我们也会继续通过官网向各位通报该游戏的最新消息与进展，包括具体的上市时间（当我们有确定的上市时间时）。所以，敬请继续关注《暗黑破坏神 III》！
