Blizzard Registers Project Blackstone Domain
Fusible noticed that ProjectBlackstone.com was recently purchased by Blizzard Entertainment. It doesn't mean much yet but the choice of domain name could point to a side project for Diablo 3 or even pet battles (They also appear to have purchased WarcraftBattles.com last month).

We're mostly reporting this to have a nice point of discussion for it, but nothing really points to it being a major project (= probably not anything Titan related).

    Project Blackstone sounds more like a military or sci-fi type game then a diablo expansion. And as many have said here, its probably the final name of Titan.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Project Blackstone is the new name for Titan

    They changed new mmo's project name to get rid of some misconception.
    'Titan' to 'Blackstone', because lot of people made relation with Wow's titan race and
    automatically imagined the game as if it is Simplanet kind of thing. (like some levels in Spore)

    I have never heard of anyone making this misconception... I doubt the majority of the WoW population even knows enough about WoW lore to know about what the Titans are.

    Well I remember when cataclysm and mist of pandaria where nothing big either but we see where those went. Maybe it is going to be a diablo 3 expansion.

    Sounds like the name of a fundraiser. Not a kickstarter thing mind you - more like a charity-based something-or-other.

    "Project Blackstone: To help kids with disabilities play games on awesome computers!"

    Or something like that.

    I could also see it being the name of the D3 expansion. Project doesn't have to mean "plan/operation" - it can also mean "to put light through in order to cast an image on a flat surface". XD

    It looks interesting!!! I honestly think its for Diablo, because it is dark... like the dark crystal thing.

    Isn't Titan rumored to be an MMOFPS? If so, the connotations for "project" goes well with sci-fi, and to an extent, feasible to be a shooter game.
