There’s One More Unannounced Blizzard Game
12:20PM Luke Plunkett | Sure, they’ve laid Starcraft II and Diablo III out on the table in recent months, but is that all Blizzard got? No, it is not all they got. Speaking at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational, Rob Pardo has told OnlineWelten that “there is still one unknown project” under development at Blizzard, being worked on by “another development team”. Ooohh, whatever could it be? Your guess is as good as mine, though it’s probably not as good as my dream, which can best be summed up as Lost Vikings vs Capcom.

Blizzard Splashwatch Day Four – Lost Edition
6:00PM Mike Fahey | Great, now you folks have me wide awake at 3 in the morning my time, hunting for clues like an over-the-hill Encyclopedia Brown. The Blizzard splash page has updated once again, revealing what certainly look like a pair of glowing eyes peering through the broken ice. Is it Diablo? Arthas? Or is it Hurley? The reason I ask is because the latest secret image has appeared in the CSS of the page, bearing the number 16. That makes the sequence so far 4, 15, 23, 16. Fans of the television show Lost know those numbers, along with the numbers 8 and 42, as the numbers that keep popping up throughout the show on lottery tickets, prescription bottles, etc. Will the next two numbers follow suit, or is Blizzard throwing us another curve? If it is the Lost numbers, what does it mean? And where did those Vikings get off to? I cannot seem to find them anywhere? More »

Blizzard Website Teasing Something Cold
12:40AM Mike Fahey | If the Blizzard web page were a real world location it would be completely surrounded by Kotaku readers, as evidenced by the fact that we’ve received a ton of tips pointing us to the new splash image at said site, seen above in all its pristine glory. It appeared over the weekend as if willed by magic (CSS), teasing visitors who found themselves staring into its icy depths. More »
BlizzCon 2008 Announced
1:20AM Mike Fahey | The relatively annual celebration of all things Blizzard returns this year as the company announces BlizzCon 2008. Perhaps to help avoid the August event crush that occurred last year, which saw BlizzCon, SOE Fan Faire, and Quake Con all taking place over the same weekend, Blizzard has moved the convention back to October, which is when the 2005 original took place. The show will run from the 10th to the 11th at the Anaheim Convention centre in California, where fans will be able to get hands-on time with upcoming releases, attend panels, play in tournaments, collect as-of-yet-unannounced spacial, limited edition merchandise, and see hideously inappropriate women dressed up as elves, both Blood and Night varieties. Joy! Tickets will go on sale within the coming weeks for $US 100 a pop. Maybe this year I’ll actually make it out there. I needs me some free murloc-themed goodness. More »
