Diablo or Starcraft MMO Announced by Blizzard? WWI 2008!
11th Feb 2008 03:14 PM GMT | Leord | 14 comments
I just got news from Blizzard Community Manager Xordiah on my IM that Blizzard is going to hold another World Wide Invitational (like a mini-BlizzCon for the gamers and the games industry) in late June this year.
Considering that StarCraft II was release during the WWI 2007 in Korea, one wonders what this one in France will give. Is there some game many French gamers like in particular, or is it just convenient to have it near the World of WarCraft datacentre there? Make sure to check all news sites in June! Possible games are Starcraft Online, Diablo III, Diablo Online or something completely new. Rumours certantly have been circulating...
So, see you in France?!
Update:
Official Blizzard WWI 2008 Page.
Official FAQ.
Apparently, the visit to the WWI will be €70/£55 and will include a famous Blizzard goodie bag!
What do I get for the price of a ticket?
Each ticket includes a 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational badge that grants access to the two-day event. Attendees will also get a Worldwide Invitational goody bag containing exclusive swag. More details on the contents of the goody bag will be revealed in the weeks ahead. Please be aware that transportation and accommodations are not included with the cost of any 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational ticket.

Last year in Korea, IncGamers reported back live from the event and you can read all about it in our reports of the 2007 WWI. There is also a gallery from the 2007 event if you 've not checked those out before.

We should have a dedicated WoW IncGamers corner for people to hang out and meet in real life. I can't wait to meet Kalos, SSH83, rgirty, jschild and a host of others. :D

I can see them giving more Starcraft 2 and WotLK info but doubt they will announce a new game till WotLK and SC 2 get farther in development.

I wonder if they're going to release the cinematic trailer for WotLK then.

Just like they did with TBC we probably won't see that till a few months before the games release.

Diablo 3 would be huge, but I'm not holding my breath.
Anything they announce won't be released for years anyway.

Seriously, am I missing something? I don't see where they even hint at D3 or WoD or WoSC. Are we assuming that's what "And more..." means?
I'm disappointed in the "reporting" of this, even with a question mark in the headline. Come on.
