Blizzard Entertainment, Inc. today announced plans for its second BlizzCon gaming convention. BlizzCon is a celebration of the Warcraft, StarCraft, and Diablo franchises and the players who have helped make them so popular around the world. This year's event will take place at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California on August 3 and 4, and will feature various activities for attendees to take part in.
This would be the perfect chance to finally announce their next game, which hopefully is Diablo 3.
Network visitor nobbie spotted a couple of things that could point to Diablo III being announced at BlizzCon in August. First of all check the BlizzCon banner on the BlizzCon site , it shows the one and only Lord of Terror on the right hand side of the image. As he mentions. all other game characters on that banner are perfectly visible and are references to Blizzards already announced top titles (WoW, SC2). The plot also thickens with news that eu.diablo.com domain is now pointing to the BlizzCon website. Fingers crossed!
wouldnt think of it as a clue. Blizzard never pointed towards what they're going to show from Banners, especially when its months away.
Now that made my Diablo heart beat bit faster. checked a few more domains like it, but they didnt even exist. Only domain that did the same was http://us.diablo.com . Interesting, eh? Lets hope for it, what can i say!
Yeah, I got this info at diabloii.net, they keep it updated. Does Blizzard own that domain?? us.diablo.com ?
yeah, try it out yourself to make sure. Links it to the same site as eu.diablo.com. I'm pretty happy with it. Still i dont believe its something Blizzard would do (thinking they'd just fuel the Starcraft 2 fuzz). It looks like a clue to me though, even if it doesnt make real sense.
"Exciting News" - Wow/Starcraft updated info
"Major Announcemnt" -D
But who knows..
Now on www.blizzard.com/diablo3 it gives another thing (wasnt like that before).
i get an explorer message like:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
tried with many different added names and i only got "Document not Found". Why would only the /Diablo3 ending be different? ^^
It's at the very start of August, only 2 months away. Diablo III is close at hand. Diablo himself told me. He's right next to me. Mmmhmm. *looking at the wall*
An expansion to an already existing game as well as a Diablo game. I have the source if you'd like to see for yourself.
If it's true well prolly get an official statement from Blizzard about a month prior.. If not, well more than likely won't happen.
Either way good info.. post a source. Thanks
I am not sure where I read this but I remember hearing Blizzard saying they were announcing 3 titles this year, and my guess was: SC2, WoW exp2, and D3. So far SC2 is announced, and we know wow's next expansion is coming out soon... and that leaves one more.. Diablo. =D
