Blizzard Confirms Unannounced Fourth Game, Next-Gen MMO Not Diablo 3

Izvor.

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."

Bilo sta da bude bice dobar MMO 100%....ne znam meni nekako bolje zvuci World of Diablo...inace Diablo igra mi je bolja od Starcrafta .

pa, ocigledno, blizzard ima svoje tri velike fransize:

• warcraft - koji je u svojoj cetvrtoj iteraciji (world of warcraft)
• diablo - koji je u svojoj trecoj iteraciji (diablo 3)
• starcraft - koji je u svojoj drugoj iteraciji (starcraft 2)

ono sto slijedi mora da bude nova, cetvrta fransiza, u prvoj iteraciji, da bi ovo sve zvucalo fino

i trece sto predvidjam je: nece imati craft u nazivu

mark my words!

Rob Pardo was approached by George Lucas at the Time 100 most important people shindig regarding working with him on a Star Wars MMO. It’s not a coincindence that Pardo is the lead designer (his title is VP of Design) on the unannounced MMO along with other key leads (John Cash, Shane Dabiri and Justin Thavirat). Blizzard is working on a Star Wars MMO. My guess is it’s in the Episode 3 to 4 timeline, to capitolize on the hype that will be generated with the new TV shows Lucas has coming out in 2010.
