A new splash screen has been activated over at www.blizzard.com and this could be related to the long awaited game announcement we've all been waiting for! Worldwide Invitationals take place this weekend so not much longer folks. The image is saved over at blizzard as 232309/_images/ice1. Let speculations begin.. Diablo 3? Starcraft MMO? WotLK release date? (wow fanbois piss me off) WC4? a new franchise? 23 = W 23 = W 09 = I hidden image: http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/15.jpg http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/23.jpg http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/16.jpg

Image updated. I doubt this is WotLK or SC2. Blizzard only uses splash pages like this on new, previously-secret games. And they said they were working on a new MMO, so my bet is Diablo Online. At the end of D2:LoD, the World Stone was destroyed by Tyreal. The World Stone was the only thing keeping the Arreat Summit from freezing over, so though they may be trying to trick us into thinking this is a WotLK splash, I think it's just the Arreat Summit from D2. |

id be willing to bet that the circular glyphs in the picture, 1, now 2 of them, have a lot to do with whatever this is, i was never a fan of diablo, so i cant speculate in that area, maestros idea sounds good to me

I don't expect this to be related to WotLK or SC2 since it's sort of retarded to hold a press conference to announce ONCE again the game that was announced the previous year. There is a good chance it's Diablo 3 and it might be the next-gen MMO Blizzard is working on but it makes little sense from a PR perspective. But I'm betting my money on Project Hydra... whatever it may be. Edited by skyR - 24 Jun 2008 at 12:28pm |

That would be a great game! I am sure that there are many people that have played all three and enjoyed it. We will sure have a great selection of characters to choose from.
I have my money on Diablo 3.
