Rumors surrounding Blizzard Entertainment’s Diablo III seem to have flared up again.

Kaputik.com reported earlier this week that a Blizzard insider had clued them in to release dates for both the online multiplayer beta on September 11 this year and the final retail release supposedly set for December 24, but Blizzard would not confirm these dates.

In response to TGR, Ryan Arbogast, Associate PR Manager at Blizzard, told us “As for Diablo III: Blizzard has not announced a release date for Diablo III at this time.”

So it looks like Diablo fans are going to have to wait a little longer for a confirmed release date, as Blizzard looks like they’re either not willing to admit that Kaputik got their information correct, or they’re not willing to justify the rumors with a response.

Diablo III was officially announced June 28 at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France, though development began sometime in 2005 under the once “Blizzard North” studio.

Kaputik.com also reported some alleged system requirements for the game, but they are not yet confirmed, and so far there has been no comment from Blizzard on those.
