New Blizzard Game

To be announced Saturday at the World Wide Invitational in Paris. There are lots of rumors floating around that its either the release date for the 2nd WoW expansion or Diablo 3.

There is a new splashscreen up at www.blizzard.com . If you look at the screen you may see 2 runes. Those runes that are depicted resemble the Hel Rune and the Shael rune from Diablo.

I personally hope that it is for a Diablo 3 game. I would love for that series to come back. A lot of people know that they have been secretly working on another title along with SC2 and WoTK. But there has also been talks of Warcraft 4. I am keeping my fingers crossed for a D3 game.

It sounds to me like it will be D3.

This quote is from Rob Pardo when asked about all the rumors of D3.

So you want me to announce the game before our announcement?" he said. "No offense, but I think there's like 300 people here, and I'll be ripped apart by 8000 people there [at the Invitational] if I pre-announce it - but it's going to be really exciting. I think everybody here will be really excited about the announcement."
Which makes sense because Blizzard recently bought one of the largest D3 user sites.

Semi-Confirmed

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.

So if is announced on Saturday, that means that they will have some cinematics.. and

I still like WoW. But is the people that are actually starting to bug the shit out of me. WoW does sooooo many things right when it comes to that Genre.

No other game out there can even hold a stick to it. I have tried them all... Conan was shitastic.

They have been saying that they have been working on something else for quite sometime now. That is no new news there.

Plus they have already said (in my first couple postings) that they are announcing a NEW game. Wotk is not new, neither is Starcraft...

I don't agree with that at all.

If Blizz made Diablo 3, even at a half ass attempt with less than a year dev, they would sell over 2 million copies in a week- at least. It is the definition of a cash cow and I refuse to understand how they can't/don't see it.

Probably. I only gave that game 20 mins and it didn't addict me like it did with diablo 2.

The beginning is very slow. I dread the first 20 or so levels. But they have been making improvements to the game to allow for faster leveling. They are in the process (next patch) of reducing the cost and level requirement to get your first mount. Once you get the first mount, it takes no time at all to level.

WoW starts at level 70.

Agreed. But D3 has been in dev. for a lot longer than most people realize. If I had to guess, they have been in Dev. for more than a year already. They have been saying for some time now that they have been working on another secret game.

Hell. D2 just had a new patch 1.12 within the passed 2 weeks. There are still thousands upon thousands of people that still play D2. I still play it every now and again. Lost all of my main characters, but it is still fun to play every once in awhile.

They better put in a cow mini game...

Splash image:

Sorry for the huge image, but you can see the runes better, the five runes connected together makes a pentagram, the same pattern found in the waypoint pads.

Even if they do announce D3. I can only imagine how long we are going to have to wait till they release it. I mean, they announced SC2 how long ago, almost a year. We are still waiting on a release date.

That splash screen would make a pretty suite wallpaper.
