New Blizzard Title Being Announced Subject description: at 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational |
|
Rumours are coming up EVERYWHERE that Blizzard is announcing a new game title at the the WWI on June 28th.
Starcraft 2 already announced
Wow xpac already announced
whats next?
Diablo 3 maybe??? Check out the new splash page on the blizzard website, then check out http://www.diabloii.net/.
Pretty interesting read. I see a lot of clues....but maybe i'm just seeing them because I want to see them.
If you look closely at the two circles on the splash teaser, they look like runes. The splash image has been updated twice, with the crack getting larger and a new rune being added.
-The first rune appeared on the left, which looks like it resembles a Shael rune.
-The next rune that was added 100% is a Hel rune.
The splash is probably going to be updated tomorrow again. If there's another rune revealed, i'm going to shit my pants
Also, people have discovered 2 pictures in the source code. One went up on the 23rd of June, then another one appeared on the 24th.
Here they are:
http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg
http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/15.jpg
The originals were titled Tundra04 and Cave15. The Frozen Tundra and the Icey Caves both appear in Act 5. Coincidence? Maybe...
Putting them together, it looks like a jumbled mess. But if you arrange them in a 2x3 configuration, you get this:
It has been suggested that the letters at the end of the pictures correspond to letters of the alphabet:
4 = D
15 = O
The 2x3 configuration also means there will b4 4 more pictures to be uploaded, so 6 in total.
The first picture was released on the 23rd of June. The second one was released on the 24th. This means we're probably going to get one each day up until the WWI.
June 23rd-June 28 = 6 days.
The word diablo = 6 letters.
If the next picture released is numbered 01, 02, 09 or 12, then I think that will seal the deal!
In regards to the significance of the purple monster, here is my take on it:
Diablo is red. The splash indicates ice, which probably points towards the idea of hell being frozen over. Ice is blue. What colour do you get when you combine red and blue??? I rest my case.
Gentlemen, with the next piece of the puzzle or the next update of the splash page tomorrow, we shall have our answer!

First post is too long, so update here!
The new splash just got uploaded, and there is a new rune!:
To me, this looks like a Sol rune. Might be a Mal too
Any input?
Someone pointed out that it looks like the Protoss symbol from the starcraft2 page:
http://www.starcraft2.com/features/protoss/main.xml
And now the shael rune looks a lot like a symbol from Wrath of the Lich King, on the Lich Kings sword.
However, the Hel rune still looks exactly like a Hel!
So...3 symbols from 3 different games? I think Blizzard is being crafty and trying to keep people guessing until the last moment.
EDIT:
3rd picture is up:
http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/23.jpg
I guess the number-letter theory is shattered.....they now go 04, 15, 23. So if the number-letter correspondance theory still follows, then there is a W in there somewhere

i hope this was a attempt of humor, or a parodie on a paranoid conspiracy.
and im excited for my new WoW xpac that will be coming out , new shit, and mounts at lvl 30, and you can give players rides on your mounts, destructible buildings in BG's, new hero class's, hair styles, im fuckin pumped
what will be different about diablo 3 anyway?! each new patch nerfed classics, made things that you fell in love with suck, then add super powerful runewords each time. the only thing they could do to that game, is make a new character, or just give you an even more powerful weapon to bonk sorcs on the head with. no matter what a paladin will be able to kill you anyway
i used to be just as excited as you are.. but after playing the plague of a game WoW... i didnt believe at first that it could be fun, just walking and walking, but then you get to ride a giant tiger... D2 seems lacking in excitement, just lots of ezpk's coming. you can only kill the same person so many times before you just s/e.. and if D3 DOES come out, is it expansion? or a completely new game experience?
Every single D2 player, unless you love boys, knows that Blizz has spent 10x more resources on WoW, and unless you start paying per month for D2, or D3, they are going to leave you behind, and keep teasing you with fake diablo hints

yeah, it is a hel rune.
With the 3rd splash up, we now have 3 runes from 3 different games:
Rune 1: Glyph from sword of Wrath of the Lich King
Rune 2: Hel rune from Diablo 2
Rune 3: Symbol of the Protoss from SC2

Quoted from Diabloii.net:
Quote: | Diablo 3 Announcement at WWI
25th Jun 2008 04:56 PM GMT by Rushster 27 comments
With this week's speculation over the Blizzard teasers, more and more reports in the media, and numerous tips coming direct us at IncGamers from reliable inside industry sources in the past 24 hours, we now have confirmation from inside sources to say that Diablo 3 WILL be announced on Saturday at WWI Paris 2008.
With that in mind, we would like to invite Diabloii.net readers to submit their questions for us to ask Blizzard.
This is extremely exciting for all of us here at Diabloii.net. For the past 10 years we have been supporting the Diablo community and to have something completely new to sink our teeth into is fantastic. We will be at the show on Saturday for the announcement and also the press conference which is directly after, so expect reports from the show floor live, interviews and much more |

I don't think it'll be an MMO. They already have WoW for that.

How can you be completely sure this is reliable? Should wait for the actual anouncement to celebrate imo.

diabloii is pretty much the most reliable diablo 2 news website aside from blizzard.com or arreat summit.
I dunno, i'm pretty sure cats in the bag. Tonight at midnight (pacific time), the splash page will be updated again and there will be a new image added....that should help
