The Lord Of Terror... Returns?
Grimhound | 1:56 AM on 06.26.2008 19 comments



The 4th day of the teaser, and now you can see those eyes gazing towards you... The spite, the malice... prepare.

Update: Alright, now it's time for a fact rolldown in regards to what's currently going on.


-The numbers being outlaid by the 'purple puzzle image' are being outlaid by the Valenzetti Equation from LOST(I've never watched, just relating the info), which apparently has something to do with apocalyptic prophecy. 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42. Blizzard is being rather fan-based/cryptic even with this, and it's speculated over if there's any bigger meaning behind it.

-Recently, it was noticed the Diablo 3 General Discussion forum exists on www.battle.net, but is down awaiting activation. This is important because it /is/ there, due to an active message reporting the boards are down if you attempt the address, while a boff address will redirect you to battle.net's main page.

-It was noticed last night that www.diablo3.fr redirects to Blizzard.com, which marks it as the first known active site bearing the official Diablo 3 stamp. Further, the WWI coming up is taking place in Paris, so it seems eerily suspicious.


-On a more speculative note, this area of the image has been unchanged through each of the 4 advancing versions so far, and to me looks like it could be a 'D3' with the D rather brilliantly concealed in the slant beside the 3.

Uncredible but cool:

-Overlaying the Diablo 2 box image on the 'face' with parameters seems to line up, but don't hold that to be any definite proof.

-Someone else shopped up this cool little image.

It isn't Diablo. I'm willing to bet they may even announce something new.

Yeah they are definitely eyes, but it could still be the Lich King, he has kinda glowing eyes with his helmet on (I think)

Does all this speculation seem a little ridiculous to anyone else?

I don't really understand the ice teaser being used for Diablo 3, myself. When we last left everyone's favorite horned demon we were hacking, slashing, and blasting our way through and subsequently out of Hell itself. So where does the ice come in? There are no snow or ice themed areas in the vanilla Diablo 2. Lord of Destruction's Act V, however...

TL;DR Version: There was no ice in Diablo 2, there was a snowy chapter in its expansion.

Honestly, if Diablo 3 comes out I'll be getting a descent computer just to run it.

@Big Z:

I'm sure it'll relate to something about "Hell freezing over" or another equally cliche tagline.

I never thought about this but maybe Hell was frozen over and Diablo is unfreezing it one day at a time :O
