Today in Joystiq: June 23, 2008

If you visit Blizzard's website right now, you'll get this splash page. Is the company hinting at an out-of-the-blue announcement? Perhaps, but don't forget this week is the Worldwide Invitational in Paris, so that there's a chance for big news is somewhat a no-brainer (remember at last year's WWI in South Korea they announced Starcraft II). When the news breaks, Joystiq and WoW Insider will have everything you need. Check out the highlights for today:
