3pm – I really don’t know how accurate this info is. 1up Representatives are at South Korea, and they saw a Medusa Demo listed in the event itinerary list. They are clueless at what this is. They are speculating it is a new Blizzard Game or a engine codename of sorts.
Here is the short Article.
3:20pm – Someone I will call “Anonymous” has contacted me after reading this news. Anonymous says there are two projects: Medusa and “censored”. These are code-names assigned “internally” to the unannounced games. I’m not sure how accurate this is. Take it as rumor. I think this is a very critical info if true. I don’t dare say much further about which Teams the codenames belong to.
UPDATE: I opted to remove the second project’s codename. Sorry. However, note this is posted under Starcraft section due to Medusa codename. =)
The Second Project, which codename I choose to keep censored, might be showcased at BlizzCon along with the next World of Warcraft expansion. So, expect two game announcements at BlizzCon through August 3-5.
10:50pm EST – It’s been a calm evening. All speculations, and info has slowed down. We are barely 3 hours from the game announcement. I visited the Blizzard Korea site, to watch that teaser trailer again. At the end it displays the text:
And … (Golden blur special effect – fade in/fade out) 2007 Worldwide Invitational
That golden blur caught my attention even when I have seen the teaser at least 12 times since a week ago. This time however, that golden blur reminded me of a Protoss Carrier. Might be nothing.
