New teaser suggests the title of a new expansion for Diablo III

Rumors have been whirling around like it's MMO hurricane season since MMO-Champion picked up on the trademarking of "The Dark Below" by Blizzard. UPDATE: It appears The Dark Below was a big hole of not much, MMO Champion has since said it appears to be a hoax.

Could this be the title of the next World of Warcraft or Diablo III expansion? UPDATE: Nope, not so much.

After the release of a teaser at Battle.net, the process of elimination points in a very specific direction.

As can be seen at the bottom of the screen, Reaper of Souls is a Blizzard trademark, which would indicate that it is the title of Diablo III's next expansion. With the page being put up now and Gamescom just around the corner, can we expect an expansion announcement in Cologne?

If so, ZAM will be right where you would want us to be as we will be ably represented by senior contributing editor, Gareth "Gazimoff" Harmer; along with Talk Azeroth superstar Olivia Grace.

Stay tuned for more news as it breaks here at ZAM, head to Wowhead for your World of Warcraft tools and resources and check out D3DB for our fantastic Diablo III database.

When it comes to all things Blizzard, we've got you covered.
