-Confirmed- Blizzard OFFICIALLY announcing a game May 19th!


Recommended Posts

fingers crossed for DIII or possibly Diablo online etc. Hopefully without monthly fees though. They should take a hint from Guild Wars and have free online play. They're making enough money with WoW anyway :)
Guild Wars is not an MMORPG. It is a regular Online RPG with a nice chat room and trading feature and PvP.

hmmm.. we'll see. Starcraft + Broodwars was an awesome game. Since Blizzard hasn't officially announced SC2, I'm not gonna say anything yet except Protoss/Zerg Hybrid. :D

I highly doubt they are gonna announce a WoW Expansion Pack.

Blizzard said they would aim for an expansion pack EACH YEAR, so i seriously doubt they would announce anything so soon.

I do believe It's another sequel ... SC2 hopefully!

Starcraft is played out. I see more peeps getting wanting Diablo III more than anything.

Played out? WTF? It's had only one game and one expansion. Diablo is more played out as it's already had a sequel.

But seriously though, I think we're probably looking at both... Considering the fact that SC2 is confirmed, and they're not sure what's going to be announced on the 19th, there is a chance that what they're announcing is not SC2. It could be D3.

We'll just have to wait and see.

Which one is more fun though? ;)

First of all, IT WILL NOT BE A MMO. I can say this because it is very bad business practice to be competing with youself regarding products.

A WoW expansion? No again, most players who have bought TBC most likely are still playing it, so the milking factor on the latest WoW expansion is not over yet, and again I apply the "Bad to compete with oneself" idea.

StarCraft 2. You can't make Chess 2.

Diablo 3. This is much more likely, but, it will be a RPG so it would be competing with WoW, 50/50 on this one.

New IP. Good chances on this one.

WarCraft IV. God I hope not. But chances are this is what it will be, as far as I am concerned they have abandoned Diablo and StarCraft because StarCraft is the RTS of all time (besides TA) and making another Diablo would pit Blizzard product against Blizzard product.

EDIT: Oh and could be something console related but seeing as Ghost didn't blow over well (5 years development time, 2 different developers, then cancelled) I don't see it happening.

It is CONFIRMED that there is StarCraft 2 being worked on. The question is what's being announced May 19. It could be SC2 or it could be another game they're working on at the same time.

Um, when was that confirmed? All that I've seen stated is that Blizzard would like to work on a StarCraft game. I've never seen it confirmed that SC2 is being worked on.

And for those of you who insist it isn't an MMO.... maybe you should look at what Blizzard is looking to hire ;)

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
