Update (3pm): The XFire WWI page has been edited, removing the Game Announcement part. For those skeptic, I took a screenshot before it got edited. I learned to take screenshots after Legendary Pictures pulled a similar stunt (removing and editing Diablo from the Films Under Development section).
- If you are wondering, I contacted my XFire liaison around noon. No response as of 3pm.
- Also one of my Blizzard liaisons. Blizzard has not made any press releases concerning a Game Announcement.
Original Story
XFire either accidentally posted there would be a Game Announcement based on the rumors sprung from DiabloFans.com and Blizzplanet, or they know something and oops ... slipped it. Did XFire confirm there will be a game announcement?
As usual, I will communicate with my XFire and Blizzard contacts for a comment to clarify this new rumor. Stay tuned for updates.
At this point, this is still considered a rumor -- keep that in mind. Blizzard has not made any official announcements concerning a a game announcement at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitationals.
The Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, to be held in Paris on June 28th & 29th is sold out! If you can't attend, Xfire will be on the showfloor, bringing the event straight to your computer!

A bit of reassurance is good, but I wish it had come from blizzard itself. Although Xfire is probably in cahoots with blizzard, seeing as how a lot of their users play blizz games. I bet they ran it past some corporate officials in blizzard's head office before they posted it.
Interesting...I do believe that this is a slip up on xfire's part... However, if they were to take it down now wouldn't that just cause people to ask more questions?

I don't know if things are getting crazy or hysterical, but either way if we're going to get a confirmation that a game will be annouced at the WWI it should be before the end of next week.
Awesome find MD; things just keep looking more and more our way. Can't wait to hear that confirmation and I agree either way it points to an announcement. Thought I am reminded of that one time...was it gamespot? Somewhere posted D3 in the background for E3 or some event a while back?? But with everything that's going on this is hard to deny...and hell I don't want to deny it. Bring on WWI.

yeah no doubt, but in my eyes this is just the icing on the cake because i was already 99.9% sure a game was going to be announced at WWI. Now it just needs to be D3

Hey guys it's not a typo....If you try to copy/paste the announcement from Xfire.com then you will copy a picture too and that picture is called "Xfire at blizzcon 2007"
