Blizzard Splash Page Day 2: Not Just WotLK

What the Hel is a runeword?

by Dominic

    World of War attempted to put to rest rumors of Diablo 3 yesterday, but today's teaser image revives them (no spirit healer necessary).  Here's the updated splash in all it's frigid glory:

I resized the image to prevent it from being overlapped with the comment section.  For the full-size image check Blizzard.com

    We're all sure the first symbol shown in the ice was the rune from Frostmourne, Arthas' sword.  But today's image comes from a rune in Diablo II, Hel to be exact.  Here's a comparison image:



    So we've got one from Warcraft and one from Diablo, will tomorrow bring a rune from Starcraft?  Probably but I'm still crossing my fingers for Rock N Roll Lost Vikings!

    i think its just a reference, nothing more. blizzard does put a BUNCH of references of their games in their games. plus the new picture has 2 glowing eyes wich is clearly Arthas after he puts on the lich kings helmet in warcraft 3: the frozen throne.
