Blizzard's chief creative officer Rob Pardo has teased his twitter followers with news that the company will reveal a new game at the PAX East conference, and it could be Blizzard All-Stars.
Pardo sent the following message on his Twitter account, "PAX East next week and I'm still not ready with the announcement for our next game. Work work work," before he added "And no it's not Titan (the name of the highly anticipated second MMO from the company)...Other than that, feel free to guess."
Finally, Pardo included this link to Blizzplanet, confirming that Blizzard plans to reveal "something new" to gamers at PAX East. This has lead to speculation that Blizzard must be ready to show off Blizzard All-Stars, the DotA (Defense of the Ancients) inspired MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game that has been in the works for some time, but has not been officially revealed.
Ironically, the originally DotA was a mod of Warcraft 3:Reign of Chaos and it's expansion, The Frozen Throne. The sequel of the original DotA is very popular, commanding a large amount of players who downloaded the free game off of Steam. Now Blizzard is trying to capture some of that audience with their own official MOBA-style game, which is based off a mod of a game Blizzard produced.
While Blizzard All-Stars is the most likely announcement Pardo and Blizzard are teasing for PAX East, nothing is set in stone. The company could have something else hidden up their sleeves. This debut could be a brand new game that has not even been announced yet. All we know is that PAX East is set for March 22-24 in Boston, so we will just have to wait until then.
