Day 5: Splash and Purple Penguin

Posted 27th Jun 2008 09:19 AM by Flux

The 5th (and second to last?) day of splash images has arrived, and here they are.  The breaking ice hasn’t advanced very much in this image, but the runes have been made more obvious, the 5th rune of a snowflake seems like an obvious reference to Blizzard itself, and the glowing eyes and demonic face in the center is more evident than previously.

As for the secret purple beast; the 5th image is linked, and named “harbinger.” The 6th image was available as well, using the Lost six-number code, and here’s the whole image. It’s a… penguin?

[QUOTE=BlastDuke;6568253]I don’t know what the penguin is all about but it is showing us three fingers and it has not two normal feet, but one “devils’s leg” ...

Yes, both feet on the fat penguin (link posted in previous message) look similar in colour, but the feet of the evil penguin are different. What does it MEAN?

So with the 5th rune looking very much like a simple reference to Blizzard, it’s looking more like the 4th one referred simply to the three Blizzard universes. And with the eyes in the center still vague enough to be anything, it looks like a classic case of giving us just enough material to make anything we want. All it needs is a clickable gem. wink

Yes, I’ve avoided reading any of the Warcraft / Starcraft / WOW forums, where I am sure people are posting very detailed and “confirmed” reasons explaining why the splash images are about Warcraft / Starcraft / WOW! How disappointed will we all be if there is nothing about D2? smile It kinda is D2’s turn though—the other universes have had all the attention (and a lot of it) since the release of LOD.

Those &quot;demonic eyes&quot; look more like Protoss eyes to me.
