Those of us following the Blizzard hiring pages, well know that Blizzard always has at least two unannounced projects, and German media site OnlineWelton has confirmed with Blizzard VP of Design, Rob Pardo, that there is indeed another project that has not been talked about. Not shocking, but nice to hear they're admitting it!

Blizzard's 2008 Worldwide Invitational came to a close yesterday, and there has been coverage out the wazzoo! In an effort to help sort through it, here's some of what you can find! The WoW community site has this overview.
Today was the last day of the Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France. The day began with a panel led by Blizzard artists Samwise Didier and Dave Berggren where they discussed the distinctive "Blizzard" style of art and graphics (in StarCraft). Also taking place this morning were the Diablo Lore and Art panel that helped players get a feel for the history that has occured since the end of Diablo II: Lord of Destruction and the World of Warcraft: Anatomy of Raids panel where players got an inside view of how the dungeons of Northrend will be constructed. The afternoon brought us to a panel discussion with World of Warcraft developers concerning the PvP system and another panel touching on the Denizens of Diablo.Our links to coverage will be up shortly!Finally, the day comes to an end with the closing ceremony featuring a concert given by the Video Games Live orchestra. The crowd will be warmed up by an energetic performance from Blizzard's very own Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain, who leveled up from 70 during the course of their epic performance.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our next event and would like to thank all our guests for attending and all our viewers for checking out the website during the event! Thanks and hope to see you again soon!

In a move that shocks no one after the week of splash pages and months of rumors Blizzard has announced Diablo III!
As with all of Blizzard's products, no release date, but everyone knows they'll only release when it's good and done!
Ladies and Gentleman, I give you the wait from hell. Literally.
Two decades have passed since the demonic denizens, Diablo, Mephisto, and Baal, wandered the world of Sanctuary in a vicious rampage to shackle humanity into unholy slavery. Yet for those who battled the Prime Evils directly, the memory fades slowly and the wounds of the soul still burn.There's 60 screen shots, a 20 minute game play video, and a cinematic teaser that will knock your sox off, but requires an age verifier to watch. Multi-player coop mode through Battle.net is of course planned!

As for the runes on the icy image the previous were: the World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King's Frostmourne rune, followed by the Hel Rune from Diablo II, and the protoss Alkilae tribe symbol from Starcraft II. Today's rune seems like a solar system. This is not a symbol you see often in a Blizzard game. The only thing that it resembles is an Arcane Sanctum from Warcraft III.They go on to talk about the The Valenzetti Equation, in a very weird version of NotPron!Otherwise it can be interpreted as three franchises and a new franchise at the center (4 orbs). Or Starcraft Galaxy? Those staring eyes in the splash page look a lot like a Dark Archon -- and if you have been reading Starcraft: The Dark Templar pocket book you will know that Ulrezaj the Dark Archon has returned to Aiur.
In more WWI news *insert another World War One joke here* Blizzard will be streaming the opening and closing ceremonies as well as some of the tourneys and concerts, so don't miss out!
