|  Blizzard Countdown - Guess The Next (StarCraft?) Game
"And in the 7th day, Blizzard made THE announcement"... We still don't know which announcement we're talking about, but May 19 draws near, and with it comes the day we should finally known if Blizzard's next game will indeed be StarCraft 2, or a (World of) StarCraft MMO - we doubt it could be anything other than these two. The latter seems to be getting more and more adepts lately, despite many other StarCraft 2 believers' arguments that a second massively-multiplayer online game is currently out of the question, since Blizzard wouldn't risk losing players from World of Warcraft. Or would they?
Concurrently with another countdown slowly nearing zero on the Fallout 3 website, Blizzard also started one of their own yesterday, when the company's main page was suddenly changed. It now displays a timeline with all their games from the days of Warcraft in 1994, all the way to World of Warcraft a decade later. Diablo, StarCraft, Diablo II and Warcraft III are all there, naturally, and it's probably worth noting that there are no add-ons listed - so the announcement of a second WoW expansion is likely out of the question for May 19, when the countdown will hit that mysterious question mark...
Yesterday, the paged displayed the covers of both Warcraft and Warcraft II, and today it only shows that of Diablo. Normally, StarCraft will take the front page tomorrow, and seeing how this is the only title that has yet to receive a sequel, we have all the more reason to believe that this will all change on Saturday.
This will be one excruciating week for Blizzard fans...
