http://www.blizzard.com new game announcement? Or just a date for sc2 beta? Something else?
zoom of the circle thingy

Someone also said there's supposedly a tal'rasha head in that pic somewhere. Diablo related. Do any tl.netizen know more?

Im still convinced they are announcing Diablo 3 during WWI. It takes place on the anniversary release of Diablo 2.

Just look at the comparison they don't look alike at all lol, they're vaguely shaped the same.

Any sane person should be able to get the link between the diablo 2 anniversary and the diablo 3 announcement. The picture is probably hell frozen over or some kind of joke like that.

I doubt it has anything to do about warcraft because blizzards rts' team is already working on sc2 and they already announced the new wow expansion ages ago anything warcraft related wouldn't make sense.

I swear to god there's no way it's anything but diablo 3.

Would be incredibly gay if it turned out to be the release date for the wow expansion or something but the last time blizzard did something like this was with sc2 so I have faith that's it's a new game.

Exactly, blizzard.com splash announcements are usually for something big no? We've known about wotlk for months and there's a lot of information about it on the net. I really hope it's something else than wotlk...

It doesn't have to be a new announcement. It could be the release date for wotlk - that still hasn't been officially announced yet.

They wouldn't make a big deal out of something like that.

I've found this which makes the WoW addon likely:
http://www.worldofwar.net/n/414868/blizzard-image-solved

And this quote which makes D3 likely:
Another interesting fact is the URL: http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/ice1.jpg

Why 232309? If we assume that the numbers correspond to the letters in the alphabet we get 232309=WWI ... ring a bell? :-) World Wide Invitational
23 = W
23 = W
09 = I
Anyway the "hidden" picture is called 04.jpg. (http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/04.jpg)
My guess is that tomorrow we'll see a picture called 09.jpg, then on wednesday 01.jpg ....

Today is 04.jpg = D
if Tomorrow will be 09.jpg = I (if its not, maybe not diablo at all Tongue)
Wednesday will be 01.jpg = A
Thursday will be 02.jpg = B
Friday will be 12.jpg = L
Saturday will be 15.jpg = O (June 28 WWI 1st Day)
Sunday will be 3.jpg = 3 or three.jpg or whichever. = (June 29 WII 2nd Day, and B-day of Diablo)

Oh, I don't know. They're pretty close to me and the ice theme certainly fits the WoW expansion.

Of course it'd be far more cool to get something new. Maybe this is just the beginning of things to expect in the WWI and there'll be another splash screen or two before the event.

From the looks of the picture it seems pretty obvious that it's related to that WoW expansion, but at the same time it doesn't make any sense to make such a big deal about a thing that we already know about, i mean just a release date isn't that big of a deal is it?

Considering the release dates for Diablo and the expansion it seems like it could very well be related to Diablo, but then again the splash picture looks way to WoW'ish..

Oh well, we'll just have to wait and see.
We make signature, then defense it.

i don't see how making one splash image is a big deal. i see no reason to dismiss minor announcements as possibilities.

Blizzard always loves to cause hype and speculation. They put up a single splash page and people will debate it for weeks.

lol at the sword theory. even if it's looks similar the proportion between the curves or way off.

if you look closely.. the "3" is actually a "Z"
the rest.. im not sure.
