Blizzard, in an apparent effort to steal a page from my own book, has announced an announcement of a beta for Diablo III. The developer has put up an overview page and FAQ for the upcoming beta but provides no actual details on when it will begin or how long it will last.
All five hero classes will be available for the beta and it will allow gamers to try out the game's auction house.
If a beta is just around the corner, as many expect it is, could the full release of the game actually show up this year? Only time will tell.

Evil is alive once more in the bowels of the Tristram Cathedral as the once-vanquished Skeleton King returns to plague the tiny village with gruesome horrors. The beta will pit players against this returning Diablo villain as they battle to restore peace and tranquility to New Tristam -- and to finally put the tortured soul of King Leoric to rest.
Good Company In Bad Times
Players will be able to meet and interact with some of the Artisans and Followers of Sanctuary during the beta test. These characters will aid your hero in different ways along his or her journey, providing some valuable services and much-needed martial companionship.
Something Looks Different…
Each play-through of the beta test will feel like a new experience thanks to the randomized elements of Diablo III. Randomized maps, monster distribution, scripted events, and loot all make for highly replayable gameplay.
