Topic: Blizzard confirms new MMO game

Anonymous cd9b0ebab52dfd31cac978998a1b201e started this discussion 2 months (2008-07-02 11:15:34 UTC) ago:

> Despite ongoing efforts with StarCraft II, World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King and Diablo III, PC developer Blizzard has confirmed that it has another MMO in the works.
>
> "There is still one unknown project," Blizzard executive VP Rob Pardo revealed to OnlineWelten during the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational. "We have another development team."
>
> Pardo affirmed that Blizzard's recent job listings for an "unannounced next-gen MMO" were not related to Diablo III. The company had previously stated that the project was not a World of Warcraft expansion either.
>
> Fans have long speculated that Blizzard may follow the ultra-successful World of Warcraft with a World of StarCraft MMO. The three-faction scenario and multi-world setting would seem to lend itself well to the MMO format.
>
> Others believe that the project could be a new franchise, as Blizzard has not created a new property since StarCraft's release in 1998.
>
> "The idea of a new franchise is very intriguing to employees of the company," said Blizzard chief operating officer Paul Sams to Gamasutra in a recent interview. "Are we ever going to release a new one? I would absolutely say we will at some point. I just don't know when that day will be quite yet."
>
> And as for a release date on any of the three known titles? "We ship the games when they're ready," Pardo commented. "You guys know this."

Speak for yourself, news-o-holic…

While I find the news interesting (otherwise I wouldn't post it), I really had no opinion to add.

World of Starcraft, anyone?

That's a great idea, there's a lot of StarCraft fans out there.
