Blizzard Tease 2008

Posted 23rd Jun 2008 10:25 AM by Freelancer

With the Blizzard World Wide Invitational only a few days away, Blizzard have upped a teaser on the official website with the above image. What the image means, is for as yet unclear, what it suggests a lot clearer: this WWI might have something awesome for all of us! Any idea what the above image could be from?

The image name is “Ice1.jpg”, meaning there will probably be more icy images to come.

We know that Blizzard have never made any teasers for any expansions in the past, and Wrath of the Lich King is definitely “old” enough not to warrant a teaser. Still, the colour palette matches it pretty good.

It’s not the Diablo Worldstone, as that is red, but there are red hints in the ice, looking like stone shards or runes…

Has anyone seen this design somewhere?

Update:
Maticus over at WorldofWar.net writes:

To me, that’s clearly a Lich King reference, what with the rune and all.

It’s not entirely unlike the Unholy Rune for the Death Knights, as seen below.

And could this be the Frost Rune?

Update 2:
WorldofWar.net seems to have solved the Splash Screen mystery. No Diablo 3 or StarCraft MMO hints, but rather “just” another Lich King reference.

Update 3:
Wuushu of StarCraftWire.net also add another piece to the puzzle.

I’m at work work, so I can’t see the images :(  They are filtered : /  What’s the update for today’s image?  Is it the I?  If so, I might just have to run around the school I’m working in screaming for joy raspberry I really want a new Diablo game.  I almost installed D2 on my laptop again the other day.  I need to play Hellgate some more to…  Why must work interfere with everything?!

Its not the “I” but the “O” instead. So this particular theory is still in the running wink

Another day, another image, oddly enough its 23 (W):

http://us.media.blizzard.com/232309/_images/23.jpg

It’s called ‘Icy’ in the CSS file.  This would make it D, O, W…  Diablo Online ?? smile

The current combined image so far could be:

What does this look like to you?
