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.
"Note I am not revealing anything that hasn't been already said before.
1. Blizzard said a year ago they plan to ship a yearly expansion.
2. There has been job openings specifying "Diablo Team"."
he probably made up the rest. he gave so much credit to himself "should i be that selfish?" etc. trying to make us want him to tell us.
he is just making a guess like all of us are.
Brings up a good point, I mean eveybody seen the pictures, It was a large event. Your telling me not one reporter asked any questions about Diablo non the less get any info at all? Lol
Crazy stuff
We'll be handing out plenty of Blizzard swag at BlizzCon for attendees to show off to their friends. However, we wanted to give out even more, so we'll also be providing a beta key for an upcoming Blizzard game. If you're not enticed yet, you should definitely check out the in-game murloc suit, an item that can be redeemed and given to your favorite World of Warcraft character. Love or hate the murlocs, you won't want to miss this opportunity to blend in with them!
"Upcoming Game" -Well It probubly wont be WOW or Starcraft, only makes sence.
Beta Key = MMO?
Fingers Crossed
there are betatests for all kind of games, its called so because of the current state of the game development. It usually comes like that:
1. pre-alpha version
2. alpha version
3. beta version
4. gold (aka release) version
weird statement. Wondering why they didnt say "StarCraft 2" beta keys, i'd bet everything thats what they're talking about... still weird.
Also recent news articles imply Starcraft 2 is long ways away, Def. not this year. But knowing blizzard it could be anything.
but think of it this way:
If the announced game doesnt make it to the beta this year, how many possibilities are there to have a beta for an unannounced one?
With Blizzard, a safe guess would be 4 or 5.. Any other company 0.
=)
Only time will tell, i guess. We can still hope for news in August.
I mean c'mon. It had it's ten year anniversary this year...
WoW was a ten year tribute to the Warcraft universe...
Gah i hope not i quit WoW a few weeks after Burning Crusade...
I dont know if you guys got that email, but there has been leaks and such about some sort of Diablo info going to be revealed. Just passing along the info. I don't beleive it anymore than you do.
This guy covered all the bases i think. Alot of news brought to my attention
