6th splash image goes live

Posted 28th Jun 2008 09:09 AM by Flux

The sixth splash image, named “ice5andahalf.jpg” is now up on Blizzard.com. the eyes are brighter, there’s more of the face visible and the runes are glowing. What happens in Diablo II when 5 seals spaced around a large circle are triggered and start to glow? Someone appears then… someone large and red… I can’t quite remember who, though?

I’m starting to wonder if it’s a face. They’re playing with us.

They are having fun with our Hype. Because they are smart and know that we will ONLY know what it is in the WWI. There’s hints, but there is no true answer. But let me suppose more. ^^

WHY 5 and a half? That’s because it’s not a major step to the desired end, which would come, then, in "ice6".

So, we are talking about the objective X (new game) that needs FIVE actions (5 images) before it, but even with those 5 we need a small "animation", the "5,5".

IN WHAT of all three universes we find something that need EXACTLY those steps? Diablo!

1: Tristam: 5 stones must be pressed and we must wait ‘till the lightnings strike. Cain in a cage was waiting to be rescued.

2: Diablo’s Lair: 5 Runes that must be pressed and we must wait ‘till they glow and release Diablo. Diablo was waiting to be summoned.

1 show one hero and 2 show one villain, both could do "nothing" (well, in game after all) until we "released" them. They were HELD, TRAPPED.

Frozen.

Maybe the little emoticon is the real "teaser", showing that "all we searched", (all we tried to find/release/understand within those images) will be in WWI?

If you are a Starcraft fan, there will be SC2.
If you are a Warcraft fan, there will be WotLK.
But, if you are a Diablo fan… Do I really need to say anything?

Sorry about the long comment.
