Since December 1st, 2012, online fanatics & theorists from around the globe have been speculating on what Blizzard could have in store for us with Project Blackstone. It all started when IGN revealed that Blizzard had registered the domain. Not much happened over the next month, until Steelseries revealed a password (Y7_$0>0k_3<$m) which was used to gain access to the Project Blackstone website.

"Project Blackstone is a Terran Dominion research project, focused on Zerg research. It is led by Dr. Helek Branamoor."

Browsing through the Blackstone files revealed numerous hints, clues and eventually various key figures among the community were instructed by Blizzard to share pieces of an image. As of 15 minutes ago, Day[9] has revealed the last piece of the image which (to no-one's surprise) confirms the date of February 26th, 2012 - incidentally, 9 days from today.



As pieces of the puzzle were unveiled throughout the last few weeks, it became quite clear that the final image would point to twitch.tv/StarCraft.

Vengeance is coming.

With StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm arriving on March 12, we’ve been itching to show you a new trailer called "Vengeance”, and we’re planning to reveal it to the world in a special online event on Twitch TV.

Here are some more details:
- Blizzard developers will be on hand to talk about Heart of the Swarm and the making of "Vengeance".
- An exclusive Heart of the Swarm eSports showmatch will be casted by commentators John "TotalBiscuit" Bain and Shaun "dApollo" Clark.
- The world premiere of the "Vengeance" trailer for Heart of the Swarm.

Viewers can participate in the discussion segment by posting Twitter questions using the hashtag #Vengeance. Tune in to join the discussion and be among the first to see the new trailer at twitch.tv/starcraft at 12:00 p.m. PST on Tuesday, February 26.

That's 7am AEDT Wednesday, February 27th.

Pancake Tuesday?

Quick Comments

	fur:	Pancake tuesday was last week nub!
	ToRSpartaz:	I had 3 pancakes and one spoon of honey too man

[breadfan]

I'd say it'll be either a HotS invitational, or the announcement of regional HotS launch event people

edit: these guys http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company...alia:melbourne

[ToRLuneth]

I wonder what time it will be because timezones

Quick Comments

TACeeSerps:

my thoughts exactly

[TtSYF.tRoy]

First thing that came into my head was some sort of HoTS invitational and then i though,
what about a StarCraft movie

[Matt93]

I feel like whatever the announcement is it will be a let down, I don't see what more there is to know about HotS that we don't already know from the beta. However I'm more than happy to eat my words if they announce LAN play next week.

Quick Comments

ToRLuneth:

They have LAN play, they only make it available if you hire an armed guard to protect it

[Antel0pe]

I think there is going to be more about Blackstone, I just feel that using it just to link to a bunch of people's twitter wasn't all that Blizzard planned...

I think it might be a good bye Wings of Liberty tournament, all the players are renowned players from all different regions and there is no event planned on the 26th March, besides the GSTL PreSeason on the 25th.

Try to be a little more positive.

It certainly won't be LAN. Don't even know why people are still talking about LAN in HOTS.

A dude on reddit asked temp0 what the #vengeance thing was about

[–]Infinity SevenTemp0_SC [S] 2 points 27 minutes ago (1|0)
It references the HotS launch event. (I think I'm allowed to say that? )

[NvRossi]

hopefully its a cool sendoff to Wings of Liberty... could be an event or a video or something storyline related!

Quick Comments

Dox:

would be pretty sick, bridging the gap from wol to hots!

[Paroxysm]

Would be so cool if it was the announcement of a movie. Maybe thats why it took them so long to release WoL in the first place haha.

Could you imagine a full feature length film with the graphics of the HotS teaser video we saw a few weeks ago? It would be unbelievable to say the least.

[mGGDaedalus]

Most likely a HotS invitational event with some hype, previews etc for HotS release. I personally am looking forward to the part where Idra shows up with a tyre iron looking for David Kim.

[Stallion]

King of the beta competition for Hots is another thought with said players/casters perhaps, i havn't looked at whos on the list but never know i believe day9 did one for WoL so thats an idea

[Dox]

It's not a bad theory. Blizzard hosted King of the Beta competitions for WarCraft 3 & Frozen Throne. I lost to PussInBoots in the TFT finals.

This is exciting! But what time is it? Will it be a 24 hour loop or how can we tune in if we don't know what time it is????

Quick Comments

Dox:

"More info soon." :D

[Dox]

Really enjoyed the 48 hour marathon of smashing out every possible achievement in the campaign when WoL came out, looking forward to doing something similar for HotS
