Neither Kerrigan nor Arthas are new. Warcraft 3 has been out for how long? And Kerrigan was in Starcraft... so neither character are new. Granted, they do represent new games/expansions, but what better way to depict Blizzard as a company than by showing their three great game series? And what better character to pick for WC3 and BW than the two main antagonists of their current games? And what better character to pick for Diablo than ... Diablo?

Im not saying I dont think it is a new Diablo game, because it very well could be, just trying to play Devil's advocate.

I can't fathom how you are. Try picturing the building as if you're looking directly at it instead of how the image shows it. Now you can see the planets are way off from the ones shown in the image (hell they're off even without doing this). Not only that but there are 2 extra planets unaccounted for. Sorry but that is just completely off.

To add to that, the planets spin. The SS of the arcane sanctuary is the equiv of folding the US Dollar bill and then saying it predicted 911.
Their are four errors in this sentance.

But maybe the vikings will have something to say too, like a new mobile phone game or something? That would not require a huge team either.

I don't buy the reference to warcraft 3 from the fourth picture, and not the tyrael is lost theory either :p

Can anyone find a picture of the lost viking symbol that looks like the fourth icon? Several mention it but I can't find the source (picture that is).


Great, thanks, now whenever I look at that pic even in the right orientation I can't unsee that 3 >_<

Hmm I can see your point. The lost Vikings link does fit the pattern better, but it's a bit of a stretch.

Considering how close both are it just goes to show how fluke coincidences can easily occur when you're actively looking to connect things. Like many conspiracy theories.

you'll have to forgive me i obviously haven't played much wc3 lol

just going off those two images it looked like a pretty convincing case

definitely liking the lost vikings theory - unless that image too has some context to it that was left out by whoever snipped the image!

I think Blizzard is just toying around with everyone. It's all so unrelated. There are random things from all Blizzard games. It could be anything, and probably no theory will be correct. They just do it because they want to laugh about people trying to solve the "puzzle" but in reality there is no puzzle.
Blizzard wouldn't want it to be revealed before the WWI, so they have to make it an unsolveable mystery.

Still, Diablo 3 seems most likely. It could also be a completely new game though. The WoW addon was already announced, there doesn't need to be such a big fuzz about it.

Well, this whole thing kinda reminds me of Notpron, the awesomest online game. When they announced SC2 you were theoretically able to figure it out beforehand, weren't you? So it'll probably be the same here (or at least, beyond reasonable doubt). So lets keep puzzling anyway...

It's all in today's symbol.

If it's from warcraft III, then there could be one rune representing every game that will be showcased at WWI, and the presence of the Diablo rune suggests a D3 announcement. This also means tomorrow's rune would be starcraft related. If it's lost vikings, then they might be representing every blizzard universe, which suggests a new franchise.

Yeah. Remember the SC2 Splash hype last year? Same thing. They showcased a different game each day, ending with SC2. It's probably the same thing here. The purple penguin-thingie is probably just a random sketch, and the numbers seem to be the ones from Lost (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42). It's all probably just to cause suspense and interest, before the announcement at WWI.

other therory

Using the image numbers as sperate digits, and applying them to their corresponding css class names to get the letters, using 0 as the first letter in each word you can get 2 letters per day.

Tundra - 04: T, R
Glacier - 15: L, E
Icy - 23: Y, I
Cold - 16: O, L

Knowing that there will be 4 more letters, you can create TYR_EL I_ LO__

With the The Valenzetti Equation from Lost being 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42 which so far fits the numbers we have, the final result can probably be guessed to be

TYRAEL IS LOST

So then, 08 will be Artic, giving us, A from 0, and T from 8. Leaving us with 42 something like _ _ S _ S??


It's spelled "Arctic" not "Artic" so that theory is invalidated immediately. Glacier was also not one of the clues, it was Cavern. That guy gave it a nice try though.

I'm very impressed with Blizzard's art team. If you look closely you can see a zealot, hydra, marine, raynor, Arthas, etc. in the splash art. Fucking sick.

Its like cloud gazing.
