Something mysterious is happenning on the Blizzard Web site

blizzardsplash

What’s up with Blizzard’s Web site?

For the past several days, the splash page on Blizzard.com has shown this mysterious, ice blue image. (I’ve been AFK since Monday, so this is all news to me.) As such, Internet speculation is in high gear. Is it Diablo III? Maybe a new race from Starcraft II? No one knows, which makes all the speculation particularly fruitless.

Given that I’ve never played Starcraft nor Diablo, I couldn’t tell you what any of the symbols in the picture mean. Unless the Alliance logo shows up, I’m useless in figuring out this puzzle.

It’ll be announcing the release date of the new WoW expansion or something.

Ice is associated with the new expansion, as it’s based in Northrend (where it’s very cold).

Supposedly it is preparing for the announcement of Diablo 3 - according to Gaming Steve anyhow.. http://www.gamingsteve.com/archives/2008/06/diablo-iii-to-be-announced-this-week.php

It appears to me to be more Starcraft in colors…

It appears to me that Blizz is messing with everyone, again. As to release dates with Blizz: meaningless. Maybe they are announcing beta but from what I’ve seen of Alpha for the WoW expansion, that’s a long ways off, as far as SC2 is my guess.

Really its just a new splash screen to toy with those of us who are rabid to get news about the best PC games made(my opinion).

If you take a good look, there are 3 circle thingies floating around.

Maybe they’re clues??

Its changed again. This needs an updated picture. The Ice has opened and there are two white eyes glaring out of it, there is also a shadow of what would seem to be a demons head. It may very well be a Diablo 3 announcement looming in the not-so-distant future.
