A look at the StarCraft, Diablo Series">Blizzard website reveals something pretty interesting. There's a timeline listing the company's games, starting with 1994's Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and ending with a big glowing question mark. Of course, it begs the question, "What does Blizzard have in store for us?"

A while back we posted that the company is looking for a few good men and women to work on a "next-gen MMO". Back then, we theorized that the game could be a Diablo MMO. This one though, feels like a teaser for Starcraft 2, which is apparently already in development. May 19's only a few days away, and we should get more details then.

One thing's pretty certain, though: it's definitely doesn't look like a new World of Warcraft expansion. As Amanda Rivera of WoW Insider notes, the timeline doesn't include Burning Crusade as well as any of the expansion packs for any of Blizzard's other titles.

I noticed that the two games that are highlighted are also the ones abow the timeline. This picture is called day1 which leads me to belive that more titles are going to become highlighted (day2,day3..) until it reaches the question mark. Well just a guess but in any case we will find out soon.

Starcraft 2: MMO

id say SC2 but as a mmorpg which is a big mistake i think WOW is doing well loads of people are playing it but if they do the same with starcraft it will split the community and also will they do the game justice? what happens to WOW if they bring out scratf online? will they have the time and resources to keep both going they way they need to or will they screw both up buy getting greedy?

 » Well..

The people are screaming for a new Blizzard game. It has been way too many years since the anouncment of wow. So I'm not sure they only do it for cash (ofcourse it's for cash but if they want to keep their reputation thay can't wait any longer now) I really hope its going to be Diablo III or SC2 as a classic RTS. I agree with Jeff200sx that it could be a misstake making a new SC too similar to WOW although it would be very cool and I think they still would keep the admiration of the masses.
