The image should be there when you click to that link. It's in ice and it's melting more and more. I think this could be Diablo 3 hint. I know it could be easily that Wow expansion pack too... but something in this picture is saying that it is D3 related.

If you look those symbols they look like some runes from D2... I can't remember what those where but definitely that what is on the right is from D2.

Only thing is that the picture is frozen. hmm but hell did froze with 1.10 patch. hmm meh maybe I am just imagining stuff... I have waited D3 too long already and its making me insane :p

The right side thing is rune from D2. Hel rune. I made quick picture.

Ouuuuu, that's interesting ...

Well, it's about time it got officially announced.

I absolutely loved the first two. The best thing about them was that both played on my crappy computer. :P

What's with the frozen theme though?

Well, after going on a couple of forums, people seem to be split.

One theory is that it's Diablo 3, the main argument being the indication of the Runes. Another theory is that it is to do with the Litch King WOW expansion, hence the ice-like theme. That will most likely be a release date or some unannounced feature. Then there's another theory, which is that it's a new game altogether, codenamed Hydra.

All that's known is that we will find out exactly what it is this Saturday, when WII starts.

WoW expansion info is the best bet but there is still hope! Only couple days more and we know what this all is about.

If it's Diablo 3 I'm going to have to get a new comp, stupid macbook...But it'll still be worth shilling out all that cash.

2008-06-25 12:20:14

Wasn't it already established that this was about World of Warcraft?

2008-06-25 12:56:17

To me it feels pretty obvious that it is Wrath of the litch king. I mean...why announce Diablo 3 so close to E3? Everyone knows that WotLK is coming, just not when, so it's not that major an announcement, hence they create this splash page to build up some hype.

We seek permission to devour you. We mean...to approach the bench.

The first day it was established that it was WotLK, because of a rune. But then a new rune appeared (I think) and that one was a Hel Rune from Diablo II, and then another rune from the Protoss was introduced. So aparently all three games have been showcased through the runes. I dunno, this is just what I've read. I can wait really.

2008-06-25 18:38:12

A lot of inside sources claim that a showing of Diablo III at the WII event is incredibly likely.

I for one hope that's true.

Why would D3 be under Ice? and not only that, that picture happens when u go to WoW website...that not only makes a stupid basis for a story (hell frozen over...come on) but it could mean WoTLK is closer than it would seem.

That thing just screams WoTLK, ice makes sense with the Frozen Throne...

Maybe they are the Death Knight runes?


However that IS hel rune.

2008-06-26 17:11:06

my money is on WotLK...not sure how D3 could pick up storywise.

.::Chill::.

[you probably wont like what i just said]

2008-06-26 17:13:50

It looks more and more like it is WotLK ... but I really hope i'm wrong. Please Diablo 3, please!

Blizzard is good at making these kind of things for their events. What ever it is has kept me checking that main page everyday :p

I have a feeling that Tyrael is going to be one of the bosses in the game. Story could be anything because no one knew what the destruction of Worldstone could do.

I didn't mind WOW but now that WOW is stalling Diablo I'm going to hate it.

2008-06-27 05:00:32

Well this seems like a wow related pic, I just dare to dream they will announce Diablo 3!

2008-06-27 09:29:11

Interesting ... very interesting.

On that evidence, i'm going with Diablo 3 ... although, that's more hope than expectation. Still, it does look real.

EDIT: There is also this ... http://www.ripten.com/2008/06/27/blizzards-mystery...

It could be either of those two; there is no way of telling as far as i'm concerned. Darnit, Blizzard are incredibly good at not revealing anything and increasing the hype.

Well, we'll be finding out tomorrow anyways. ;)

if it is Diablo3 i wish they would make it from a third person view and make it like Oblivion...but better, like, actually having good animations.
