If you've been to one of several Blizzard-owned sites recently, you've probably seen something similar to the above image, a mysterious teaser that's taken over several of their front pages. Today, the image evolved slightly, sending the internet into a frenzy of waiting patiently for new information to be released. ... No, no, we're kidding of course, it's the internet. Have you two met?
The internet has been speculating wildly, and our sister site WoW Insider has been there to document it with an almost disturbing amount of detail. Right now, the camps are split between people who think it's teasing the Wrath of the Lich King beta and those who think a Diablo 3 announcement is imminent. We'd like to posit a third theory: What you see there is clearly ice, and who lives in Iceland? Vikings, that's who. Perhaps even a few lost vikings? Mystery = solved.

"dude, click faster"
"dude, i'm clicking as fast as i can."
"dude, sweet, you clicked fast enough to get the sword of some name from yet another uncompelling video game fantasy knock of fiction world."
"Dude, i know, totally worth the 7 hours of clicking"

From the color scheme my bet is on a Starcraft 2 release date.

The rune on the right is clearly a Hel Rune.

*Gasp* good guess; basically any cojecture that points towards an unannounced Blizzard game is great.
Also, remember how rich Blizzard are at the moment; they could totally work on 3 AAA titles at the same time, especially as they're nearly through with WotLK.

I can't believe nobody has suggested that.

silly question, but has anyone put it through a stenography application yet ?
i'm thinking "I Love Bees"... maybe a small attempt at an ARG ?

It's most likely multiple things. The splash screen has symbols from
several different games and we already know that they have more than
one thing going on such as the WoW expansion and SC2 so why not also
an annoucement about Lost Vikings or Rock N' Roll Racing or
Blackthorne or SC : Ghost or the WoW movie or even the so called
"Project Hydra"? It is what it is so be patient and wait.
