An internal document of blizzard release date have been leaked on the internet, and it states all futher blizzard product release date including diablo 3.

Battle.net 2.0

BNET2 – Well, that’s the Battle.net we now use on WoW.
BNET2MapMarket – This is pretty self explanatory, but I’m a little surprised by the timeline.
BNET2 3rd Parties – The end-game with Battle.net is as far as I know to compete with Steam. One of the best way to do that would be to use the new platform to distribute a popular game, and if that game was an upcoming Call of Duty title the Activision/Blizzard merge would suddenly make a lot of sense, right?

Starcraft 2
Nothing really new here, but I have no idea what SC2 Phoenix is.

Diablo 3
Target release date in a year makes sense. The 2 expansions aren’t really a surprise but I wouldn’t take it as a confirmation, that’s usually the kind of stuff you mention in company meetings with the higher-ups to make everyone happy.

World of Warcraft
WoWMobile – Done/in-progress with the mobile Auction House and the upcoming extra features.
WoW Cataclysm – Well, we all know about that.
WoW Brazil – Portuguese translation of the game. I already heard a couple of rumors about that and at this point I’m 99% sure it’s true, this is one of the reason why I think this document is legit. (The 2 others being the TCG Game and Titan)
WoW X4 – 4th expansion in a year and a half sounds very plausible.
WoW TCG – TCG Game, this part will probably remind you of one of my old posts … The Future of World of Warcraft: TCG
WoW Movie – I’d say the timeline is off because the document is a few months old, before Sam Raimi decided to work on other projects before the Warcraft movie (but I still want to believe).
WoW X5 – 5th expansion a year and a half later, nothing surprising.

Titan
Next blizzards expansion.
