the pictures' numbers are now 4, 15, 23 - or translated to letters: D O W...
This is only a guess, but...
"Dawn of Warcraft"? Movie, anyone?

Todays hidden assembled with the others.
Filenames so far are 4, 15,23,16
edit:
Its been pointed out that those are looking like the "lost" numbers.
The idea of a numeric cipher would seem to be pushed out to left field.

The article itself, but i suggest the link as there are pictures and other links.
Day 4 of Blizzard Entertainments teaser build up to a mystery announcement at the WWIs has started and a new splash image has gone up, just as we thought it would. Today’s image opens the gap in the ice some more, revealing yet more steam and what appears to be two eyes, starring through the ice. As well as this, a fourth rune has been added, just like everyone thought it would.
New blizzard game?Day 2 Ice 2blizzard teaser 3ice number four
Let’s start with the new rune. People have already started to link this too an existing Blizzard IP. Yesterday I speculated that maybe, the next rune would link to Blizzard’s Warcraft RTS franchise, as they have counted World of Warcraft and Warcraft separately on other occasions. Today, a link has been made between the new rune and Warcraft III - the rune has been likened to the Arcane Sanctum from Warcraft 3. Much like they did prior to the announcement of StarCraft 2, Blizzard seems to be running through their existing IPs before revealing what the new game is.
It seems to be pretty certain that the two white objects on the other side of the gap are eyes. The question is, whose eyes are they? Most people think that they are too far apart to belong to the Lich King Arthas. Some believe that they could belong to a Protoss Dark Templar from the StarCraft tiles whilst others are pinning their hopes on one of the characters from the Diablo franchise – Lilith or Diablo. One thing is certain – none of us will know who or what the eyes belong to until Blizzard announce the new game.
And it is confirmed: Blizzard ARE announcing a brand new game at the World Wide Invitationals this Saturday/Sunday. Curse will be there all weekend to keep you apprised of exactly what is going on, so keep an eye out on Curse.com.
The next part of the ever-mysterious puzzle is the 4th image that has been hidden away in the CSS file, courtesy of Blizzard. The last 3 used the words Tundra, Cavern and Icy, all of which were linked to World of Warcraft and Diablo 2. This next image, which confirms that there are six pieces to the puzzle, has been labelled “cold” and once again it can be linked to World of Warcraft and Diablo 2 – WotLK and Act 5 respectively.
Penguin?
All we know is that over the course of the next 48 hours, the debate over what title this could be is going to get ever more heated. It is now confirmed that the announcement has nothing to do with existing titles -- World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King or StarCraft 2 -- and is about an entirely new game. Sadly, we still don’t know whether this is based on an existing IP or a brand new IP.
So with the revelation that there is a new game, what do you guys think it will be? Will it be the successor to the hit RPG Diablo 2? Could we see the renewal of StarCraft: Ghost? Is there a chance the Warcraft 4 is on the doorstep? Could we be seeing an MMO based on the StarCraft or Diablo franchises? Or perhaps this is simply a new World of Warcraft expansion? Let’s hear what you guys have to say!
Keep an eye on Curse as if there are any major revelations, will update you as and when they happen!

The splash screen
This is the most obvious part of the teaser, a huge picture of a block of ice slowly cracking to reveal what seems to be a face. Each day a rune was added to the ice.
Day 1
- The first rune looks a lot like the one found on the Lich King swords in many official artworks.
Day 2
- The 2nd rune is the Hel Rune from Diablo 2
Day 3
- The 3rd rune is the Protoss Symbol found on the
Starcraft 2 official site
Day 4
- The 4th rune hasn't been identified yet, and what looks like the eyes of the lich king appeared in the center of the ice crack.
Day 5
- The eyes started to glow, the creature artwork from the CSS files is now complete. The runes also started to glow, you can compare these screenshots :

Screenshot #2
What they forgot to note is that in day 5, there is a new symbol which they think is "Viking Compass (The Lost Vikings ?)"

''Tundra: 04
Harbinger: 08
Cavern: 15
Cold: 16
Icy: 23
EvilPenguin: 42
That leaves us with 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
Look familiar? They are the LOST numbers. (From the award winning TV series of the same name).
You can only wonder why Blizzard chose these numbers.''

exactly, the new symbol is the vegvisir, it could also be a helm of awe, it's so tiny on my screen that I can't see how the tips of it are shaped, both are viking symbols though
