Proof that Diablo 3 is Coming!?

[gigapixels Veteran]

Death Knights, the new hero class in WoW WOTLK, use an exclusive RUNE-BASED magical system.

RUNE based.

RUNE BASED

Splash screen...ice...runes...get it?

I think Blizzard is creative enough to not recycle runes from other games.

i really cant see them announcing world of starcraft. i know nothing about starcraft or diablo, all i play is wow. im sure they could make a starcraft mmo. but why announce another starcraft game, before sc2 comes out

[Lord Nite]

I'm gonna chime in on this one.

I highly doubt they are making a Starcraft MMO. Why? Because there isn't enough history to create an MMO around the Starcraft universe.

Warcraft had 3 games to build a good, rich history with, and that translated into a good MMO. Starcraft has had one game, and an expansion, and I don't think that's enough history to build an MMO around.

I think these teasers are going to concern either 1)public beta of WotLK, or 2)release date for WotLK.

I could be wrong, but I still don't believe they are going to do a Starcraft MMO.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Exactly. There isn't a strong MMO base in the StarCraft universe. It makes for a good RTS with a rich storyline but as an MMO, it'll require much more history. And again, it wouldn't make sense to announce a StarCraft MMO when the development of StarCraft 2 is already well under way.

Don't know if someone saw this but the numbers.... they are from LOST !!!!!!!

4-8-15-16-23-42

we have 4 15 16 and 23 tomorrow it might be 8 or 42 !!!!!!!!!!!

:o

Here's a new take on things.

What if they're advertising all three of their franchises they're most known for in one swell foop, as it were?

The eyes, are, as mentioned above, Diablo minion like eyes. = Diablo 3?

The ice, is Wrath of the Lich King. = Warcraft/World of Warcraft.

The apparent Protoss thing, is.. well.. you got it.. Starcraft.

This whole thing is plugging all three of their products.

Seems to be gaining ground this rumour..

[Master_X]

I saved your post in a .txt file. I also bookmarked the link to your post so I could refer to it in the future. If you're wrong, then your inside source is feeding you false information. As unlikely a StarCraft MMO may seem, there's always the possibility. Take a look at StarCraft 2 for example. Most people would've never expected Blizzard to announce it especially since they replied to e-mails regarding the issue. Blizzard's previous stance on StarCraft 2 was that it "wasn't on their list".

Anyway, if what you said is true then I certainly wonder how Blizzard is going to pull off something like that. The best of luck to them!

Yeah I'm curious how it could be pulled off too. I've known the guy for quite a while and he's never given me any kind of wrong info like this. Only thing I wonder is if it will be announced at WWI or later because if they're just at the stages of finding a host for the chat system, I would think the game is pretty early in development.

Read that link.

All they said was the site we already knew about was talking about it.

[Kupo-Cheer]

This is why Blizzard is such a great company. They've created an interest in whatever it is they will or will not announce that rivals Halo's viral marketing campaigns. Watching the ridiculous speculation and fact-finding must be even more fun for them than it is for me.

[Minifig]

Oh..f***.. The hypes now getting to me.

I see teeth and an outline of a face.

[ironsight2000]

the eyes line up with the old diablo box art

[SuperJediMedia]

Diablo 2...

[sanctified Veteran]

Im totally convinced, its Diablo 3!!! Or something Diablo related!

This is a great day indeed :D

[ironsight2000]

[+shift. MVC]

For those of you insisting that it's SC2 why would they REannouce a game that has already been confirmed as under development. Same for those of you who think it's WOTLK.

I'm HOPING it's D3, and I'm skeptical about it. But thinking it's going to be SC2 or WOTLK just doesn't make sense at all.

[Minifig]

I don't want to crush anyone's dreams whose using the hyperbole that "Teh eyes! They line up with the Diablo 2 box arts!".. but..

Uh..

Why would they use the same kind of figure for Diablo 3, that they used for Diablo 2, especially if it was for box art / PR art / concept art?..

[ironsight2000]

its blizzard they are using it to give use hints

Blizzard's main offices are located in Irvine, California..

Burgas (the capital), Bulgaria is approximately 6,743 miles or 10,851 kilometers away from Irvine (damn I love the usefulness of the internet..).

its blizzard they are using it to give use hints

I guess. They're pretty damn vague hints. Even the hints about World of Warcraft weren't as subtle as these are.

Let us dream! :p

I'm hoping, and dreaming for Diablo 3 just like any other Diablo player, but, I'm not letting the hype get the better of me.

I'm just remaining cautiously optimistic.

the market of Stones of Jordan will be back eh?
