There's really no point in writing up other April Fools' Day jokes after this one -- Blizzard pretty regularly knocks this holiday
out of the park. For instance, the company's recently added
mobile page has announced two new titles for cell phones:
Blackthorne 2: Thorne Harder, which will feature an "epic hard rock soundtrack" and "some sort of arbitrary Twitter and Facebook integration," and
Queen's Quest, an old-school text adventure starring
Starcraft's Queen of Blades, which plays host to a "revolutionary Digital Rights Management (DRM) scheme."
That's not all -- three new items will soon (not) be added to the
Blizzard storefront: a Deckard Cain Snuggie, a
Diablo 3 body pillow and a Deckard Cain GPS voice module. Also,
World of Warcraft announced a new "Equipment Potency EquivalencE Number" (
E-PEEN) for comparing players' weapons and armor, and a $15,000 "
Battle.net Neural Interface" peripheral. See, other companies? Don't try to roll up here with your fake expansions and announcements of romance novels based on your game's protagonist. Blizzard's putting you
to shame.
