Well WWI is going down pretty soon. Most people are guessing a new game will be announced. Could be Diablo 3 which has been in development forever. Considering the splash page is ice (at least from what I can tell) it may be in reference to a release date for the Wrath of the Lich King. At this point it' s anyone' s guess.

Yeah I' m sure they' re announcing the Frozen Throne, which was released like 5 years ago.

You mean " Wrath of The Lich King"

There is strong evidence to suggest its releated to Wrath of the Lich King, the circle with the symbol inside to the left matches one of the symbols on Frostmourne, which is Arthas' sword.



Some people say the face you can make out to the left is Diablo, but there' s not enough evidence of horns being there to suggest that, although if you look hard enough, I guess you can make out some horns, so it could possibly be Diablo. Although if that' s the case he looks radically different. That looks more like Arthas than Diablo.

Maybe it' s a double anouncement, the link to Arthas' sword can' t be denied but there are also rumors that they will anounce a new game in WWI, so they will probably anounce Diablo 3 along with a WoTLK release date, which should be coming up soon because the beta for that is about to start and that usually only takes a few months, so release date should be October or November.

The rune also resembles a rune from diablo. also there are further things.

Why 232309? If we assume that the numbers correspond to the letters in the alphabet we get 232309=WWI ... ring a bell? World Wide Invitational
23 = W
23 = W
09 = I
Anyway the " hidden" picture is called 04.jpg. (http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg)
My guess is that tomorrow we' ll see a picture called 09.jpg, then on Wednesday 01.jpg ....

Today is 04.jpg = D
if Tomorrow will be 09.jpg = I (if its not, maybe not diablo at all Tongue)
Wednesday will be 01.jpg = A
Thursday will be 02.jpg = B
Friday will be 12.jpg = L
Saturday will be 15.jpg = O (June 28 WWI 1st Day, Good to announce here also.)
Sunday will be 3.jpg = 3 or three.jpg or whichever. = (June 29 WII 2nd Day, and Birthday of Diablo, more better to announce here.)

For more check out



Count down to diablo


Its speculation, but its fun none the less.

Ice have broken off the picture this is what people are making of it





hidden in the samefolder as the teaser image, these to images have been found, the first is a jpg called. 04.jpg (a b c D) and the next is called 02.jpg (a B)



I think this is pointing to diablo II.

edit:

aparently todays jpg is called 15.jpg which amounts to an O

Today' s letter is W, so it doesn' t spell out Diablo.

They also added a rune that looks like a symbol from star craft, and a little bit of the ice in the middle melted.



It looks like they will have news on all 3 of their big franchises diablo/starcraft/warcraft.

I think the big thing will be WoTLK release date and anounce tons new information about it since beta is about to start, along with more info on SC2, and Diablo 3 info although I doubt it will be much as I can bet we won' t see Diablo 3 actually released for another few years.


BTW, who here is getting WoTLK?

I' ve played Diablo 2: and LOD for many years and the second image once i saw it know that it is the " HELL RUNE" and this imprint is on the first picture.

These clues doesn' t say much.

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Right, Angelina Jolie and I will go this way. You, Nitro, and Torr go that way. If anything goes wrong, die quietly.

Unless the clue is on your dick or an Asian kid, Angelina won' t be helping much.
