Stolen from PA Report on Twitter.

Yep, Blizzard is showing something new and interesting at PAX East

You’ll have to excuse this somewhat short update to our original post, but Blizzard has confirmed that they will be showing something interesting and new at PAX East. I asked a Blizzard representative if the invite was to see and play DIablo 3, and I was told this is something different.

“As mentioned in the invite, this is a little something, different from what we’ve previously announced or talked about, and not a sequel, etc,” I was told. I also confirmed that Diablo 3 will be at PAX East, but again, this is something different.

This is fascinating. It’s different than what the company has talked about, it’s not a sequel, and it’s different from what was previously announced. So what does that leave? Some have guessed that we’ll see Blizzard All-Stars, but that’s something that was previously announced. So what’s left?

Here’s the original invitation text: “We’ve been working on a little something, different from our other games, and we’re pleased to invite you to be the first to see it. It’s not a sequel, expansion, or that rumored next-gen MMO, but it’s something we’re excited for you to get your hands on.” So the new information is basically just a repetition of what we already knew, but they did confirm that this is distinct from the playable version of DIablo 3.

Okay, that’s all I have to go on. I’m curious for your thoughts: what do you think we’re going to see?

As a long time fan of Blizzard this gets my internal hype meter (which is already near maxed from HotS) at boiling point. Speculation time! What do you think friends?

BlizzCoD

I'm freaking hoping it's Starcraft: Ghost.

[syfChadMann]

mmmm... yeahhhh gurrll.

My money is on the Blizzard DotA - All Stars game. But who knows!
Blizzard.

[ToR.Arnor]

My immediate thoughts is that this has something to do with Blizzard Dota, we havent really heard much info about it since Blizzcon 2011 (or atleast I havent), maybe theyve looked at games like Smite and decided to take Blizzard Dota in another direction?

whatever it is, Im sure itll knock our booties off!

They mentioned that it's not something previously announced or talked about, and they've definitely talked about that! I wonder what it is.... Very very curious

This could make it work to be Blizz DotA?... Either way, will be exciting!

Quick Comments

Maynarde:

Yeah I guess possible!

[iM tgun]

Perhaps they'll be releasing a balanced game

Maynarde:

Oh you

[CleighMoores]

I was gonna say their new MMO, but if it says it's not I guess not...I'm clueless. Perhaps a joint FPS venture with Activision? Maybe even an attempt at some special piece of hardware?
Damnit, now I'M getting excited.

[exan]

my guess is some form of MOBA.
long time blizzard fan here too, since 1994, although i found them to be slipping a little since they merged into activision, still one of the best developers around though!

[Matt93]

Wasn't there an episode of a show.. Big bang theory maybe? A few years ago that featured Halo and had Blizzard Entertainment credited in the credits? Maybe this is a joint venture in some kind of FPS mixing Halo and the Starcraft universe (out of all their games this makes the most sense for an FPS) and with the addition of Diablo 3 on Ps3/4 it could be Blizzard's way of entering the Console Market.

Id be willing to pet its Titan, the MMO they have been working on for like 6 years now; 6 years sounds about right for an MMO development of blizz standard so it could well indeed be that. Also fits well with having a blizzcon this year even though at the moment there are no blizzard 2014 releases for them to show off.

[eCKo`Tazerenix]

Fingers crossed for Starcraft: Ghost

Isnt that what starcraft ghost was supposed to be before it got canned?

it was canned 8 years ago, i doubt they would be digging it up, and it wouldn't really be something new. u guys have your hopes up for nothing

[Reere]

The Sims, GSL version.

We play the players playing the GSL games, groom their everyday lives.

gg~!

Edit: More srs note: Blizzard to have it's own streaming platform for all current/future games.

This is the best idea

[Lokth]

Castercraft - You watch two AI's battle each other in various blizzard owned games while making witty and insightful commentary; you win when you lose your sense of sanity or your voice.

[AxS.pinealan]

Please be blizzard Dota. That way I will have a larger chance to get my friends into playing blizzard games. OR, Ghost works too.

[Bash]

Blizzard all-stars methinks.

[FStitanium]

This is so sexciting. Maybe its Warcraft 4 or if it isn't a sequel, maybe a new game? Blizzard has already got war of the past,Warcraft; war of the future,Starcraft; time for modern warfare!

[mGGDaedalus]

If it's not more D3 playstation footage it's gotta be either Blizzard All-Stars or Project Titan, and I highly doubt they'd be starting up the hype train for titan this early.
