Activision To Publish Two Blizzard Games In 2013, Blizzard Working On An Unannounced Game

Blizzard
During its Q4 Conference Call, Activision revealed that it will publish two Blizzard games in 2013. One of them is surely the second part of the StarCraft II saga, Heart of the Swarm, that is planned for a March 12th release on the PC. However, we are a bit troubled about the second title. We do know that Blizzard has been working on its All-Stars title, though it seems unlikely to hit streets in 2013. Our guess is that Blizzard will either release new content (aka expansion) for WoW. And let’s hope that they’ll finally fix Diablo 3 before releasing new content for it. Continue reading Activision To Publish Two Blizzard Games In 2013, Blizzard Working On An Unannounced Game

WarCraft III Gets An Unofficial Fan-Made Sequel Via A Starcraft 2 Mod

Warcraft 3
We are pretty sure that a lot of WarCraft fans cannot wait for a new strategy game, based on that universe. Well, even though Blizzard has no such plans – at least for now – a team of modders is creating an unofficial sequel to Warcraft III that will be called, Warcraft: A New Dawn. This mod is still in early stage, but the team has released a new video for it that can be viewed below. It looks cool and promising, and since it’s being developed on Blizzard’s other game, we kind of think that it won’t receive a C&D letter. Enjoy!

China’s World of Warcraft Theme Park Opens Its Gates

World of Warcraft
I seriously don’t know who is crazier; Blizzard for not offering WOW’s license to this theme park or China’s organizers for not acquiring the rights? You see, a new theme park opened its gates in China and features big and enormous statues, inspired by Blizzard’s MMO. It also has roller coasters and it will cost you 30$ to get in (so waste no time if you are near Changzhou). And it looks epically amazing. In fact, this could very well be the only theme park I want to visit right now. Since I can’t though, I’ll have to simply rely on mere images to satisfy my need. Thankfully, Reddit’s user ‘FrancescaO_O’ has captured a lot of shots from this park, that can be viewed below. Kudos to our reader ‘Ghost Rider LSOV’ for spotting it!

Starcraft II – Terran Theme 1 – Heaven’s Devils – Guitar Cover

StarCraft fans, here is something special for you today. YouTube’s member Dominic Choi has created an amazing guitar cover for the first Terran theme of StarCraft 2.

We’re also presenting you elleitt’s cover of We Weren’t Angels. It’s good, though not as polished as Dominic’s cover. Enjoy!
