- 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.
This is what appears at the XFire website:
