Blizzard Trademarks "Corgis Unleashed" (Okay, not really)
It's time to end the fun party we've been having for the past 24H. As it turns out, it's pretty easy to add whatever the hell you want on a .gov website. According to this new page, Blizzard just trademarked Corgis Unleashed, a game that according to our sources would kind of look like this.

Edit: Apparently the original news was too subtle, the "Corgis Unleashed" trademark was registered this morning for fun, as it turns out, there is absolutely no check and anyone can register something under Blizzard's name. This is an application, not a confirmation, you don't even need to pay the $275 application fee.


We probably jumped on the bandwagon a little early and I spent the past 24H double checking stuff since it was basically everywhere, I guess today is just not the day. Sorry guys, going to call the whole The Dark Below thing a hoax.

    This is true, honestly, it could be the new D3 expansion or it could be the new WoW expansion, both are very big to Blizzard and they did say SOMETHING big was coming at Gamescom, they just didn't say what.

    BUT. Since the D3 teaser site is already up, chances are that Gamescom is going to be the announcement of the D3 expansion as much as I wish it wasn't, simply because I don't care for Diablo 3.

    Not surprising, considering all the nerfs to Hunter's Stampede... just in time for 5.4! :P

    Not even Blizzard. ANYONE could have submitted the trademark form, as MMO-Champion displayed by making 'Corgis Unleashed'.

    It's just a master ruse that even Boubouille fell for.

    I am still 99% sure The Dark Below is the WoW expansion, mainly because The Dark Below is an actual location in Warcraft lore.

    Ozumat's title is "Fiend of the Dark Below"

    it's where demons and dark magic is found(most likely where Azshara is hanging out since Deepholm's portal kind of shredded her and the naga's home).

    I remember cataclysm's name being leaked in a similar manner. It sounds like a possibility even with the understanding of an individual's ability to file an illegal fraudulent trademark.

    obvious obfuscation to distract us before Bliz announces it for reals, weak

    The Dark Below inc.
    They debuted the cinematic trailer at Gamescom, but they announced the expansion at Blizzcon the year before.

    It's obviously for wow and not d3. I'm not going to bother with this right now anyways, since mmochamp didn't even post a source or link. Am I to take their word for it? Like when they edit blue posts to link to their own site.
    I called it.

    Haha. After all those forum threads speculating on what "The Dark Below" could be about.

    I bet the devs enjoyed the speculation explosion caused by that title while knowing it was wrong...
