Blizzard Set To Debut 'Something New' At PAX East

skade88 writes "Ars is reporting that Blizzard will announce a new game on March 22, 2013 at PAX East. They say the new game is not a sequel or expansion. Blizzard is also saying the new game is not the long rumored MMO named Titan. Considering that every game Blizzard released since 1998 has had the name StarCraft, Warcraft or Diablo in it, this is big news. Ars speculates in the article that the new game could be Blizzard's version of a DOTA game. They showed off Blizzard All-Stars at BlizzCon 2010 as a SC2 custom map. It could be ready for launch as its own standalone game. I guess we will have to wait and see!"

    they've done away with the pretense of a game and just have an auction house.

    Or it could be truly shocking and they are going to produce a fun game again.
    I would love to see a new Warcraft RTS. preferable without some lame story shoved into it.

    I don't have to imagine that; I have children.
