It isn't unheard of to see big-name publications given exclusive rights to the reveal of a big title, and that's what IGN France seem to be teasing today.
Asking its readers to mark the date of March 8, this announcement of an announcement is a little far off into the future.

But while the date is far away, it's implications fall a little closer to home. Ending the announcement image with the WB Games logo, Twitter is on high alert as to what it could mean. Typically putting out games based around movie franchises like Rocksteady's Batman titles, Mad Max and Lego Dimensions, fans are divided when it comes to speculation on this one, but there's a few ideas standing out.

Though a few seem to think the date will pass by with nothing more than a little more info of Injustice 2, IGN France quickly shut that one down to avoid any unecessary detraction from the main event. The font looks district, but doesn't fall closely in line with the Batman series some fans are looking forward to even after so many iterations over the years. But the one that's trending on Twitter right now? Shadow of Mordor - the 2014 ARPG that won people over with its violent Nemesis system.
Calling some theorists out for banking on the font used, IGN France noted it didn't match up with Shadow of Mordor, but did go on to say that anything is possible. It's likely even they don't know what it is yet, but WB Games will be giving them the scoop next month. What could it be?
