The countdown is underway on the
Blizzard Entertainment
Website (thanks Hanzo) where they started the clock ticking yesterday for
their promised big announcement (
story). Meanwhile, the mailbag
here at the Blue Tower has been filling up with entries from folks excited to
see the same countdown on
www.starcraft2.com
(thanks StarmiT) which would seem to be an indicator of what today's announcement
from the Tokyo Game Show will center around. Just to clarify, while the
announcement may well indeed be about plans for a StarCraft sequel to satisfy
those eager for such a project, the countdown actually appears on other domains
Blizzard owns currently pointed at the same server, so you will also see this
dramatic countdown (at 7-some odd hours as of this writing) on
warcraft.com,
as well, so there's no reason to be certain the announcement relates to
StarCraft.
