Blizzard Entertainment has registered a new domain name called "ProjectBlackstone.com". The new registration fuels the rumor mill once again that Blackstone might possibly be the name of the new MMO that has been known as Titan for the past couple of years. What do you think Project Blackstone could refer to? Let us know in the comments!

If nothing else, it is good early hype to ready everyone for an official annoucement in that the simple fact they registered an obscure doman name has everyone commenting on what it could be. I am curious. The term "Project" in the title leads me to lean against it being a fantasy title at the moment but that could be misleading. It just reads modern or Sci Fi to me. Is this Titan finally being revealed or a new thing entirely?

It won't be blackstone, or they would register blackstonemmo.com or blackstoneonline, etc. There's no point in putting project at the beginning unless it was part of the final title.

a new trilogy in the making of a brand new game, as diablo, starcraft, and warcraft can only go so far. |

Originally posted by bcbully Well, Blackstone does remind one of the old magic kits and books you could buy at hobby and game stores while project sounds modern or futuristic. You could be right and then again... However, that would be a death blow for Funcom. I would be interested in such a game. |

In my mind, the biggest story about Blizzard's new game is the fact that they have been able to keep a lid on it for so long. That is a monumental achievement in the age of the internet. Consider how long they have been working on it already and we know *nothing* about it.
All I can think about is Star Citizen. |

Project Blackstone is nothing more than a splintered division of Blizzard from Activision Blizzard heading the WoW movie project and any other additional media projects (web shows, movies, soundtrack or contract work). They saw the awesomeness of Halo 4 [Unto The Dawn] and decided in-house is the way to go. And if it gets big, they don't have to give Activision a piece of the pie (hey new company right?)

Probably a good idea, since Blizzard has a history of keeping secrets better than government agency, lol. |

Considering that the "black soulstone" was the main part of the story in Diablo 3, it will probably be the Diablo 3 expansion.
*Spoiler" Adria's project in Diablo 3 was to obtain the black soulstone, absorb the essences of the evil bosses, and combine them within to form some type of Voltron-like evil power. At the end of the game, Adria escapes. The expansion will clearly be about Adria and more about the black soulstone (blackstone). To be perfectly honest, I don't excited when I hear Blizzard. In fact, I sort of get angry. I don't know why. I don't like what they have become. I don't like their community. I don't like their games. |

I figured they were not doing any sort of d3 expansions for a long time due to how many problems they've had with the game and how disgruntled players are with it, but it's not a bad theory. Nor is the 'branching off' theory. Would be nice if we could finally find out something about Titan though.

Pretty easy to "keep a lid on it" when there isnt anything to show :) |

Originally posted by mmoDAD Indeed, people are speculating on another site that it's a D3 expansion, it seems this is what the safe money is on and it has nothing to do with Titan. |

Project Blackstone..... Hmmm I hope "Project" is only there because its just something in the works. That leaves us with Blackstone. For some reason any compound word with black way the forefront, my mind goes right to Blackbeard. A pirate, perhaps a pirate fantasy mmo.
If project is there otherwise, then yes TSW isk comes to mind. Personally I'm rooting for the Pirate Fantasy mmo, BlackStone |

Could also be something to do with their old game Blackthorne.
