Blizzard Confirms New Product Next Month!
"It took a good day of calls and emails, but Blizzard just got back to us about the rumor floating around that Starcraft 2 will be announced next month during their World Wide Invitation in Seoul, South Korea.
According to a Korean website, StarCraft 2 is being developed in 3D with a new race and lots of changes for existing units. The site went on to say that additional details would be revealed during Blizzard's WWI on May 19th in Seoul.
When reached for comment today this was Blizzard's official response:
We do intend to announce a new product at the Worldwide Invitational next month in Korea, and we appreciate the enthusiasm and interest in getting an advance look at what that will be, but players will have to wait until May 19th to find out more. Also, we have a very strong connection with the characters and settings of StarCraft, and we do plan to revisit that universe at some point in the future, but we don't have anything new to announce in that regard at present.
So that's a yes on a StarCraft 2, eventually, and a yes to a product announcement next month. The only question now is are they one in the same. " -Brian Crecente, from Kotaku.
So what do you guys think? A lot of people still believe it's gonna be Starcraft (which would be fine too because, honestly, who wouldn't love to see that game revisited just as much as Diablo?) but after a statement like that, I'm thinking it's gonna either be an announcement for Diablo 3 or a completely new Blizzard title. If it's not a Diablo or Starcraft game, I'm putting my money on TacoCraft.
Alright, let the speculation begin! May 19th simply cannot come soon enough.

i agree, its disgusting i just hate that sig
Sigh one more night.
So, even though it's midnight (at least, where I live) it's 12 hours AHEAD there? That'll save us some time.
Then again, it will be when we wake up we'll see it on Blizzards website. At least it'll still save us some time because, if you woke up at noon, and you were in the same time zone, you'd have to wait until night time!
Of course, they may not announce it right away, 14:00 to 16:00 is 2:00-4:00 PM. Then Blizzard has to upload the image and make sure its OK and all that. So, maybe it'll be up at 5:00 or 6:00. But, someone will bound to have already posted it up before then on the internet that was there via laptop or cell phone or something.
I say all of us go to the Korean convention.
If they DON'T announce Diablo III we bum rush the stage. If they announce Diablo III then the Koreans will bum rush the stage. If they announce anything Warcraft related everyone but the guy with the foam finger and the WoW hat will bum rush the stage.
Blizzard needs to get an anti-bum rush shield. IMA COMIN!
Idiot Web programmer forgot to light WOW up =)
If the announcement is D3 I will take it back..
Can You Believe It?
*** If The New Game Turns Out Not To Be Diablo 3, Is This Site Toast?
I'd sell this site back to blizzard for 500 grand.
