Beginning May 15, players around the world will be able to return to Tristram to discover the dark secrets of a fallen star and begin their quest to save Sanctuary from the impending demonic invasion. To secure your place as a barbarian, monk, demon hunter, witch doctor, or wizard right now, simply log in to your Battle.net account, and then purchase and download* Diablo III, and you’ll be ready to play when the game launches.

World of Warcraft players interested in getting Diablo III for free can still get in on the World of Warcraft Annual Pass, but the promotion will be ending at 12:01 a.m. PDT on May 1, 2012. When you sign up for the Annual Pass and make a 1-year commitment to World of Warcraft, you’ll receive a free digital copy of Diablo III, an exclusive World of Warcraft in-game mount (Tyrael’s Charger), as well as access to the upcoming World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria beta test. Learn more at the Annual Pass signup page.

For more details on the May 15 release of Diablo III, be sure to hit the official press release, or head to our new Diablo III game page to learn more about the game and pre-purchase your digital copy.

*When you pre-purchase Diablo III, you will be able to download an encrypted version of the game that will be unlocked upon release on May 15.

    1:17AM PDT Diablo III will be free to World of Warcraft subscribers! WoW Annual Pass: starting today, you can buy a 12 month subscription that can be billed monthly. By making that commitment to subscribe for 12 months, you get D3 free at launch. You will also get access to the next expansion beta for WoW as a tester. Finally, you get the exclusive new in-game mount, Tyrael's Charger. Looks like Invincible model only golden hued with Tyreal-esque light. Pass is available now.

    Nope, it was one of the upcoming Blizzard games (HotS, Titan, MoP, DOTA2). Some people even signed to be in the Titan beta, we had several discussions on MMO-C about this topic.

    Except there will be no way to play it since it requires an internet connection and Blizzard server validation to play it at all.

    I certainly don't intend to promote warez but this is very naive.

    No, it was always "Next WoW Expansion" or specifically "Mists of Pandaria".

    DOTA2 isn't a blizzard game? I also signed up first day announced, and it was MoP on the site... were people getting to some other site for these games?

    Nope. Its always been the MoP beta and that is all. You are mistaken. (Well, they specifically say the NEXT WoW Expansion which ended up being MoP)

    Google "Blizzard Annual Pass Announcement" and you can see not only Blizzard's original announcement, but also all the major gaming sites' coverage of said announcement.
