So what is Blizzard up to!? (#MMO #MMORPG #MMOGaming #Gaming)
So for several years now, Blizzard has had job postings for "Next-Gen MMO." Nothing (that I know of) has been released about this "next-gen MMO" nor has anyone that I've seen come out and say "I was on the project and got fired/left/whatever, and this is what it was...." I'm AMAZED any company has been able to maintain secrecy for all these years!
What is the subject of this new MMO? Will it be "World of StarCraft?" "World of Diablo?" StarCraft makes more sense, since Blizzard already has a fantasy MMO (WoW). Or are they developing entirely new IP to base this MMO on?
Myself, I'm betting it's StarCraft. Blizzard seems to like to leverage existing, popular IP, and StarCraft is certainly their second most popular IP - and it's different enough from WarCraft to maybe bring in new people - perhaps ones that don't like fantasy.
Should be very interesting to see how this shapes up. Hopefully they'll release some information soon!
