Uh, there's an Orc there. There were no Orcs in StarCraft.

It's probably the expansion to WoW. [/strike]Either that, or maybe WCIV, but I don't think a WCIV has even been hinted at.[/strike]

[EDIT]Hell, just looking at the B.Net news:

Current events: WoW Expansion Playable at BlizzCon

Refresh, it has various images from both Warcraft and Starcraft.

One of the images in an Undead with .999_=1 instead of the normal date, heh.

I've so far seen 5 images. Humans (Looks techy - marines), Undead, Orcs, Night Elves, and one more that APPEARS to be Zergy to me.

Why would they put tomorrow's date on there when Blizzcon is not tomorrow? Maybe if they were first unveiling Blizzcon tomorrow, but otherwise that does not make sense.

There's also a picture of Diablo's skull in there as well.

Most interesting thing is the orb with rings that is seen in all the character's eyes.

I just found the picture of Diablo's Skull. I think.

It seems to be 'rare' compared to the other faces.

Apparently, there's a 5% chance to see the Diablo thing, and a 3% chance to see the Undead head with .9999 = 1.

FYI, all the images are of boxart from previous games. I seriously doubt they can be counted upon to reveal what will happen on the date

Also, given that neither Ghost nor the imminent WoW expansion has been released yet, I doubt this is a new game. The WoW expansion maybe, but definitely not a new game.

EDIT: Oh hey, I'm not sure if the Diablo skull has ever been on boxart or not. I guess it could be a Diablo game (haven't had one of those in a while).

Once more into the breach, my friends, once more. We'll close the wall with our dead. In peace, nothing so becomes a man as modesty and humility, but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the action of the tiger, summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with rage and lend the eye a terrible aspect.

Well, the world being messed up after the destruction of the World Stone wouldn't be so unreasonable. You can ignore old school prime evils and have new crazy stuff.

Largely sure the 0.999_=1 thing is in reference to a bit of a running gag on the b.net forums about the very thing, an endless string of threads that popped up all argueing that point and periodically would get brought up again at random jokingly or not to try and get it all started, heh.

The diablo one interests me because all the other art on the site is from somewhere else, the boxarts, but I have never seen that Diablo art before. Pretty sure it is brand new

It is also missing the globe graphic over it's eye

Oh well, will find out tommorrow

There were a number of threads on the WoW forums about that too.

Eh, I still see the globe on his eye, it's just not very clear because of the way the picture was done.

Bingo. We were discussing this in guild vent, and someone said that Heaven and Hell could meet on a massive battle for control of Earth.

It would work pretty well for an MMO world, actually. Infinitely more feasible for an MMO than Starcraft's universe is in its current state.
