Teaser page Update #6: Day 5

News | June 27, 2008 (1 month, 3 weeks ago) | by Zyuu | via www.curse.com | Filed in Blizzard Entertainment

Today Blizzard uploaded "ice5.jpg", making it the fifth teaser image of their soon-to-be announced new game. What game do you believe its going to be? It's definitely nothing related to Wrath of the Lich King of Starcraft 2. Nor anything that has to do with any known existing games in development. As we previously said, Kody posted a news confirming that it will definitely be a brand new game!

Not that many changes has been made to the ice breaking out, however, the runes are more clear and there's a 5th rune which looks like a snowflake, most likely being a reference to Blizzard. And of course the biggest change is the eyes, they glow more and also burn. Demonic or Arthas? You be the judge.


Which game could it be?

  • Diablo 3
  • Warcraft 4
  • World of Starcraft
  • World of Diablo
  • Project "Hydra" (Next-gen MMO or Diablo 3)

It's not Arthas, look at the notch between his eyes in the WOTLK artwork and then compare it to the splash page, just the notch, nothing else, it's NOT Arthas.

Remeber you would think that, if it is a new game it would be on ALL THE WEB PAGE THEY OWN AND NOT JUST 3 OF THEM and one is being world of warcraft.

If these pages, have nothing to do with world of warcraft, then why the hell it is showing up on the world of warcraft page....It most likely going to be the date of WOTLK or an Arthas game and then doing this to through us off from the New game they going to announce.

I think it's Diablo 3. With 10 Million subscribers and a new expansion coming, why in the world would Blizzard want to announce a new MMO with the success they have been having with WoW?

The "8" has me thinking that it is Diablo-related.
On the 29th of June, it will have been 8 years since the release of Diablo II, and 7 years since the release of the Lord of Destruction expansion pack.
Fitting time to announce the next in the series...

Even if those are eyes (I think so mostly because of the slightly visible "skin" below them), it does remind me of a Protos. Also judging by the streaks (the brighter rays) it doesn't look like the Lich King's eyes.

Go go Diablo 3 imo :D /pray

Who says there are any eyes in this picture? It could be a spaceship for all we know...

As for the runes, people have said that one of the runes, a snowflake, represents Blizzard; these runes may simply be representatives of the different Blizzard franchises, and have nothing to do with the actual game we are concerned with.

i think i have solved this mystery.
the upper right symbol on the picture is a HEL rune (from Diablo 2)
someone else than me thinking D3 is finally coming?

Btw guys if u check carefully that image you can see a face that look a lot like diablos on act 3.

Another clue...all of the runes now make a perfect pentagram.
Also in one of the WWI artworks that u can see Arthras, Diablo and another female creature prolly from Starcraft, i don't know...it looks like that the hand of diablo makes a perfect 3.

OMG XcyanX your totally right, I completely forgot about the pentagram... lol and I actually went to act 3 and matched it lol, your right , it's D3 ppl that my final guess!

Yeah, it may seem those are Arthus's eyes but look closer, from what I can make out, there seems to be horns on either side of the eyes. Bliz has already announced WoTLK it makes no sense to reannounce it.... Since Bliz stated it will be a "new" release, and since we haven't heard any talk about a D3 from Bliz yet, it has to be D3, only they are making it very suspencefull, its how Bliz has always been.
If you've ever played D1 look at the cover of the case and match it too the shape in the ice, the horns and the shape look identical.... and the eyes are glowing red i nthe same streaming way they are in the newest update of the teaser. Idk this is strictly my opinion I have no clue what is to come, we will have to see in the next 48 hours. I'll be there watching like everyother Bliz fan!

Not Wotlk. Doubt it's something linked to the Warcraft unverse.

Ice = Northrend
Runes = Deathknight
Snowflake Rune = Icerune
Blue Eyes = Arthas

Look, if this isn't the announcement of the Preorder for WotLK to start, Bliz needs to get more creative

i hope its the new Diablo MMO that one of a blizzard senior staff let slip at launch of TBC.

also i totally dissagree that is had not nothing to do with WoTLK.
EVERYTHING says its Arthes in ever day.
evidence;
- ice (frozen thrown), continually being the dominate in every image
- the eyes look like the eyes used for images of death knight / Arthas

ALSO to note the "hole" hasn't got bigger today its just the eyes have opened

Nah, pretty clear it is WotLK to me. I have no doubt they are also releasing a new unrelated game - but this morphing splash is looking more and more WotLK every day.

And when you think about it - what is worth more in the short term to them... expansion pack for a 11 million subscribed game, or a brand new untested product?
